Materials, Finishes, and Product Care

Materials

Every component during the production of Galula’s products is chosen with care and precision. Our commitment is to create timeless pieces that are durable, sustainable, and beautiful. With proper care, your Galula product will last a lifetime.

Our materials are not only easy to maintain but are also thoughtfully selected to stand up to the rigors of daily life. By following a few simple care procedures, you can enjoy your products for years to come.

Cork

Cork is one of nature's most remarkable and sustainable materials, and it’s a cornerstone in our designs. Light, flexible, and extremely durable, cork is perfect for both furniture and decorative objects. It is naturally resistant to moisture, heat, and even fire, making it an excellent choice for environmentally friendly designs. Cork’s honeycomb cell structure is key to its resistance to impact and friction, making it more durable than many other surfaces.

Cork is hypoallergenic, ideal for those with sensitivities, as it does not absorb dust. Its natural texture is soft to the touch and has an appealing irregular surface that adds a unique character to each piece. The cork we use undergoes minimal processing, preserving its natural essence while making it a stunning addition to modern interiors.

Taking Care of Cork

Caring for cork furniture is simple. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and follow up with a dry cloth to prevent moisture stains. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. For maintenance, avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives. Hot, cold, or moist items can expand cork’s grain, so always use coasters or pads for protection.

Steel

Steel is a robust, versatile, and fully recyclable material. It offers a modern aesthetic while being one of the most sustainable materials, as it can be endlessly recycled without losing its quality. This allows us to create strong yet elegant furniture that remains durable and visually appealing. The strength of steel complements our designs, providing both sturdiness and a refined look.

Taking Care of Steel

Steel requires minimal maintenance. Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. Steel pieces are generally resistant to corrosion, but it’s always a good idea to dry off any water to keep the finish intact.

Finishes

Powder-Coating

We use a durable powder-coating finish on all metal products. This eco-friendly process creates a hard, long-lasting finish that is highly resistant to scratches, scuffs, and fading. Powder-coating is an environmentally responsible choice because any excess powder is reused, reducing waste and air pollution. This finish is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, keeping your pieces looking new with minimal care.

Cork Finish

Our cork products often have a protective varnish that adds extra resilience to the material. This specialized coating enhances cork’s natural durability without detracting from its texture or beauty. The finish is nearly invisible, slightly darkening the cork but preserving its natural look and feel.
