Are you among the people who take furniture for granted and think that these pieces of wood would remain in this immaculate condition forever? Think again! Because parts of furniture also age with time as we do. As you maintain yourself to show the minor signs of the damage and keep yourself healthy and fit to keep going. Similarly, your furniture needs some maintenance to keep serving you while looking presentable. If you do not maintain your table, you either have to repair them or replace them.
Furniture Repair Services
Antique and heirloom furniture pieces are a different story. These little pieces have history, nostalgia and cherished memories attached to them. Like your grandma may have given you a vintage coffee table that has witnessed the thick and thin with your family. We understand its emotional value for you. Now, what if it accidentally bangs with something and gets chipped? Well, it’s not a pleasant situation anyway.
What Causes Furniture Damage
Furniture is usually made of solid and sturdy materials and is expected to last for long periods. However, nothing lasts forever. Life is full of spills, knocking overs, bangs and falling over, so furniture pieces are also victims of these. Let us discuss some potential causes of furniture damage.
-
Age Spots
We call the minor damages over the lifespan of furniture age spots because they appear so slowly and gradually that you don’t notice them. Until one day, they become a prominent part of your face. Similarly, minor nicks, cuts, scratches, and dents go unnoticed, but they keep damaging the furniture until you spot a significant amount of the broken piece.
It is always advisable to repair minor injuries in time to not grow into unmendable damage.
-
Environment
Environmental factors like heat, moisture, water damage, dryness, and material ageing are also responsible for furniture damage. However, you can avoid them to a certain extent through preventive covering and coating.
-
Spills
These are especially notorious for dining tables, nightstands, coffee tables and chairs. We spill liquids like water, coffee and tea. Though these are more noticeable and we try to absorb them out of furniture. However, the most ignored spills are small spills like cleaning supplies, tiny droplets from chilled glass, steam, etc. The gradual buildup of these unnoticed spills causes damage to your furniture integrity.
-
Serious Damages
Severe damages are fire, water overflow, major breakage of some part of the furniture. These are usually the result of unfortunate events.
