What is the table’s resistance to damage from exposure to bird droppings or feathers?
The resistance of a table to damage from bird droppings or feathers depends primarily on its surface material and finish. Bird droppings are acidic and can cause chemical etching, leaving permanent dull spots or stains on porous and reactive surfaces like natural wood, marble, and some laminates. Non-porous, sealed surfaces like high-pressure laminate, quartz, glass, and properly finished sealed wood offer much higher resistance. These materials prevent the acidic components from penetrating, allowing for easy cleanup without lasting damage. Feathers themselves are generally not damaging but can scratch delicate surfaces if dragged with force, especially on high-gloss finishes or soft woods. For optimal protection, choose tables with durable, non-porous tops and apply recommended sealants regularly. Immediate cleaning of any bird waste is the most effective practice to maintain the table's appearance and longevity, regardless of material.
