Teakwood is one of the world’s most valuable timbers,
recognized for its durability and stability under severe
climatic conditions. These qualities, along with traditional
doweled mortise and tenon construction, guarantee
teakwood’s long life even when left permanently outdoors.
It is for these reasons that teakwood has endured for well
over 150 years as the timber of choice in marine
applications and shipbuilding. No other timber can claim
to possess the qualities of genuine teakwood.
Your teak furniture does not need to be protected from the elements
It will naturally weather to a silver-grey colour after about
six months of exposure to rain and sun. This weathering
occurs only on the surface and does not harm the
teakwood in any way. Should you decide you no longer
like the weathered look, the teakwood can easily be
restored to its natural colour, either by scrubbing it with a
poly-bristle brush and soapy water, or with the careful use
of a pressure washer.
Teakwood can also be treated to prevent the weathering process. We do not recommend using teak oil on outdoor furniture as it will promote the growth of mildew; however there are a range of oil products can be applied to enhance the teakwood’s warm, golden-amber colour.
