Teak Wood Furniture

Teak (Tectona grandis), a durable hardwood, performs beautifully in any climate. Teak is the very best you can buy for outdoor use because it is resistant to water damage and severe weather, and will never rot. Teak is known as the ultimate in durability of outdoor furniture.

Teak requires no preservatives or treatment of any kind to protect it from the elements. If left outside without oil then the natural teak will gradually turn a light silver gray color over time. You will begin to notice the "graying" after 3 months or so, depending upon the amount of sun and rain the furniture is subject to. The "graying" is only on the surface layer and can be removed by cleaning with soapy water and a poly-bristle scrub brush. If you wish to maintain the rich honey color of your furniture, you simply utilize a little teak oil 2 or 3 times per year to restore its natural luster.
