Teak Furniture Naturally Resistant to the Elements and Built to Last a Lifetime
Teak is a deciduous hardwood tree found in the highlands of south-east Asia. Teak has a naturally
high oil content which makes it resistant to rotting when exposed to climatic extremes. The wood's
density, natural oils, and its resistance to salt water are some of the reasons it is considered
to be the premium wood for outdoor furniture. Teak has the ability to resist the extremes of both
the heat of summer and the cold of winter, even without any maintenance this furniture will last
for seventy-five to one hundred years.
Outdoor furniture made from teak is a high quality product that is designed and created to last
a lifetime. Teak is an extremely durable hardwood. It is loaded with self preserving elments,
such as rubber, oil, and silica. This natural lubrication and water resistance actually lets the
wood treat itself. The natural benefit of the silica, is that it repels termites.
Teak furniture requires little care and no treatment of any kind to protect it from the elements.
Left alone, teak will naturally weather to become a silvery gray color, giving your teak furniture
a distinctive appearance. This color that results from the natural aging process is considered to
be very attractive, and enables your teak furniture to blend into many outdoor environments.
