Teak is a tall sturdy, evergreen tree indigenous to the tropical climate of south eastern Asia. Indonesian teak wood is a dense, coarse, close-grained hardwood. It naturally contains high levels of resinous oil that acts as an insect repellent and allows it to be resistant to moisture and the drying affects of weather. No other wood compares to teak regarding its durability, elegance, stability and low maintenance; thus making it the ultimate material choice for furniture construction.
Teak is ideal for garden furniture
Teak wood is used primarily in the construction of outdoor furniture and in various aspects of shipbuilding because of its virtually indestructible composition. The furniture weathers beautifully and can be left untreated outdoors without the risk of rotting, it requires minimal maintenance and does not need to be sealed or treated on a regular basis. When first purchased the furniture is a bright golden colour and its natural oils make it appear polished. The surface oil evaporates within the first week, but the oil below the surface will last the lifetime of the furniture and enables the unmatched durability of the wood. After one or two seasons outdoors the wood will turn to a silver-grey colour however if this finish is too rustic for particular tastes teak oil can be applied to create a full rich surface sheen.
