Indonesian
Teak is universally recognized as the
finest in the world. Very few regions
have the right combination of soil,
weather, and humidity to grow top
quality teak. Our supplier uses only Grade
"A" teak wood harvested from
government controlled forests in
accordance with strict sustainable
forestry practices.
Unlike
any other variety of wood, the natural
characteristic of teak is its
durability in all weather conditions -
it is undeniably the best wood for
outdoor furniture.
Don't be fooled by
cheaper and lesser quality woods. Teak
has a uniquely dense grained hardwood
that resists rot, warping, shrinking
and swelling. Its high natural oil
content continually preserves the wood
so it can be left outdoors for
decades.
Because
of the durability of teak in all
weather conditions it was once used to
build the decks of ships. In addition
to its natural durability, teak
furniture is very smooth and does not
splinter. The color of teak stays very
neutral in all weather conditions
whether its exposed to the sun, rain,
or cold. Its also maintains its
pleasant natural aroma for years.
Some
like the natural grey color teak takes
on over time but we prefer the rich
golden hue of oiled teak. That's why
all of our products come pre-oiled.
Either way, you can count on teak
patio and garden furniture to last for
many years - even decades.
