You have invested in a pair of wooden sunglasses but aren’t sure what the best approach is to take care of them. Your glasses provide a fashionable look while keeping your eyes protected from harmful UV rays. This brief article will provide valuable information that will allow you to keep your stylish wooden glasses safe and looking great for years to come.
Store in Protective Sunglasses Case
Although wooden glasses are durable, accidents can still happen. Storing your wooden shades in a protective case keeps them from becoming victims of innocent damage. Whether it’s a heavy-duty packaging box like Charlie V provides with all of their wooden sunglasses, or a high-quality sunglass case purchased elsewhere, be sure to properly store your beautiful wooden sunglasses to keep them safe.
Ensure Your Wooden Sunglasses Are Sealed to Prevent Moisture
When purchasing wooden frames you will need to ensure they have a sealant on them to prevent warping from moisture and water. Your sunglasses are designed to be worn outside, and outdoor elements can cause damage to the wood on your sunglasses if the manufacturer did not properly seal the wood.
When wooden shades are properly sealed, you will not have to worry about water or moisture having a negative impact by causing damage.
Use a Wood Conditioner For Sunglasses
Using a wood conditioner that is specifically designed for wooden sunglasses will preserve their durability and natural look. As wood ages, it becomes dry, brittle, and fades. This results in sunglasses breaking easily and losing their natural beauty.
With the use of proper wood conditioner, your sunglasses hold onto their rich wooden color and allows the grain of the wood to be more pronounced and unique to fit your style. Wood conditioner for sunglasses also adds additional protection from outdoor elements such as the sun’s UV rays, rain, wind, and cold and hot temperatures.
Keep in mind that all wood conditioners aren’t created equal. Please message us to learn more, or if you are interested in purchasing a high-quality wood conditioner for your frames.
