Teak Furniture
Our outdoor furniture is crafted from genuine teak, a hardwood naturally rich in protective oils. These oils not only give teak its characteristic warm honey-brown tone, but also make the wood durable, water-resistant, insect-resistant, and highly suitable for outdoor use. When new, teak has a warm golden color that gradually softens to a silver-grey patina over time.
During the first few months outdoors, some natural oil may rise to the surface, especially after rain or in humid conditions. On light-colored fabrics, this may occasionally leave faint marks. Please note: This is normal for real teak and not a defect. This effect will gradually diminish as the timber settles and weathers.
Care and Maintenance
Before placing cushions
When you first receive your teak furniture, wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then allow to dry fully before placing cushions.
During the initial months
-
If visible oil appears on the surface, wipe it away with a clean, dry cloth.
-
Avoid leaving light-colored cushions directly on the teak for long periods while the furniture is new. A thin protective layer can be used if needed.
-
If oil marks appear on fabric, spot clean promptly with mild soapy water, following the cushion care label.
Ongoing cleaning
-
Clean teak periodically with a soft brush or cloth and a mild detergent solution.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or pressure washing, as these can damage the wood surface.
Finishing and colour
-
Teak does not need to be oiled, sealed, or stained for strength or durability.
-
To maintain the original golden colour, use a quality teak sealer according to the manufacturerās instructions. Otherwise, allow the timber to age naturally to a soft silver-grey patina without affecting its performance.
