Stainless steel fasteners embedded in some high tannin timbers such as Garapa may cause localised tannin stains on the surface of the timber. This risk is reduced by using 316 stainless steel screws (and not 304 stainless steel) and using un-coloured screws (not bronze or black stainless steel options).

Bronze finish is a 'vintage' look and may wear off when installed in high traffic areas, cleaned with abrasive methods or damaged during installation.
