Teak Furniture

Teak Garden Furniture should harmonise with your outdoor area and mature along with your plants and hard surfaces.

Wood is a natural choice for this and teak has great advantages:

1. It is robust and resists the weather and insect damage by virtue of its organic oils. It can withstand neglect for more than a few years, unlike softer woods.
2. Teak outdoor furniture will last you much longer than other woods and so the initial outlay must be measured against the likely lifetime use of the furniture.
3. Since teak wood does not splinter or rot, there is little worry about maintaining outdoor furniture and you have a choice of treatments from nothing, to teak oil to lacquer, to give your wooden furniture the finish you desire.
4. A final advantage is that teak weathers evenly to a soft silver-grey colour, and doesn’t warp. This means that your furniture doesn’t deteriorate in appearance as it ages, unlike softwoods which can blacken or split, or develop fungal infections.
