Teak: Tried and Tested Elegance

Teak is a material that has long been loved by artisans, both for its natural elegance and its unrivalled durability. At once, teak is able to convey ideas of Victorian glamour as well as exotic rusticism, and that is why at Chic Teak we feel that teak garden furniture is able to elevate any garden space, and give it an elegance that is tried and tested.

As a clue to why teak garden furniture is so fit for purpose, we need only examine how teak was used throughout history. In the middle ages, for example, teak became an ideal ship building material, unrivalled in terms of durability. This was in part due to the oils inherent in the wood, which not only help to maintain the wood in adverse weather conditions but also warded off termites! Even now teak is a wood of choice for modern ship builders.

It is a testament to the quality of teak that when ships in the middle ages where no longer fit for purpose, the teak decking could be recycled and made into teak garden chairs and tables. Of course, for outdoor usage it is the durability of teak garden furniture that belies its success; however, teak also has an astounding aesthetic quality.

At Chic Teak we are proud to offer only the highest quality garden furniture, in a variety of styles to suit any garden space, committed to offering furniture that conveys beauty alongside practicality.
