Teak outdoor furniture is the choice of the discriminating buyer. As in the past, the characteristics of teak wood from Thailand demonstrate significant advantages over other wood that is often used in outdoor furniture. The primary advantages of teak furniture are the durability and restorability.

As many boat owners know already, teak is the wood of choice to be used in boat building. It is used because it can withstand the elements. And, because even after it is exposed to rain, saltwater, and sun, it can be restored to its original beauty by simple cleaning and sealing. Boats have been built with teak wood for centuries.

Teak outlasts other materials. As found on another page of this site, teak has been used in construction of buildings and temples. Used in those applications, the teak withstands centuries of use and continues to withstand the elements.

Interestingly, teak outdoor furniture withstands the attack of insects and rot due to the intrinsic quality of teak oil in the wood itself. This oil remains in the wood even after it is dried and made into furniture. It also remains in the wood when it is teak furniture.

The scientist may not know why this combination of ingredients gives the teak wood its preventive qualities, history shows that the oil imbedded in teak protects it from insect attack or from rot.

Teak outdoor furniture, even after it has been left outside for years, can be restored to its original golden color with the application of a cleaner (like the one we offer) and followed with a sealer. While some admirers enjoy the sun bleached patina of teak furniture after it has been allowed to weather out of doors, some would prefer to see their teak furniture shine the way it was originally received from our warehouse. Either choice is possible when the outdoor furniture is made of teak.
