Singapore’s tropical climate, with its relentless humidity and heavy rainfall, poses a severe threat to furniture integrity. At MRETTY, we engineer luxury custom furniture that not only elevates aesthetics but also combats moisture through cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship. Our solutions ensure your investment remains pristine for decades, even in 85% average humidity.
Why Moisture Control is Non-Negotiable in Singapore
High humidity causes wood swelling, mold growth, and structural weakening in ordinary furniture. MRETTY’s tropical-optimized designs integrate ENF-grade OSB panels (the strictest global emission standard) and aerospace aluminum honeycomb cores—creating an impervious moisture barrier. Unlike solid wood, our engineered structures resist warping while maintaining 2.5x higher load capacity.
Step-by-Step Guide to Avoid Moisture Damage
-
Environment Control
Maintain 40–60% indoor humidity using dehumidifiers—critical during monsoon seasons. MRETTY’s E0-certified lacquer (five-base, three-top coats) adds a hydrophobic shield, repelling water droplets and preventing absorption. -
Structural Fortification
Standard 18mm panels warp under humidity stress. Our 25mm thickened boards with J-groove designs eliminate water pooling, while concealed hinges prevent internal corrosion. -
Advanced Ventilation
Install MRETTY’s honeycomb-core cabinets, which promote air circulation within enclosed spaces. Paired with anti-mold base films, this blocks ground vapor ingress. -
Professional Installation
Our floor-membrane protection during installation shields against ambient moisture. Post-fit silica gel sealing at joints adds an extra defense layer. -
Routine Care
Use pH-neutral cleaners; avoid direct sunlight. MRETTY offers lifetime maintenance support, including wax replenishment for the lacquer layer.
