Teak is an excellent natural material
to use in the making of garden furniture. Prized for its fragrance
and rich colour, teak is a staple of high quality garden furniture.
With the help of modern new designs the beauty of the wood
shines through by focusing on clean lines and classic looks.
Teak wood is heavy, durable, extremely handsome and has long
been a favourite for the garden and poolside furniture, however
it is relatively expensive when compared to other woods.
How do you know if it is Teak?
If your furniture is crafted from wood that can be left untreated
outdoors for about a century, your garden furniture would
real teak.
Confusion is understandable because some woods looks similar
but are less than teak prices. These tropical woods are described
as 'teak-like' or 'Indonesian hardwood.
If your garden furniture is crafted from wood that can be
left untreated outdoors for about a century, the garden bench,
table or chairs must be real teak.
How do you treat teak garden furniture?
As a guide, Teak-owners should never try to preserve their
outdoor hardwood furniture with the use of polyurethane or 'tung' oil.
Try only to use a bottle labelled 'Teak Oil'. Most other oils
will just sit on the surface of teak, dry then become gooey
and bubbly.
Teak furniture designs and expense
Teak may be one of the most resilient woods on the plane but
it not just having the right material it's the designs and
workmanship in the manufacturing process that is just as important.
Beyond material, the price of a wooden garden bench, and teak
tables and chairs is determined by the complexity of design
and quality of construction. The way the parts are joined
together makes the teak furniture more expensive because of
the time spent on construction. Alternatively, the use of
straight slats and simple cuts and angles is an easy manufacturing
process and is therefore much less expensive.
