Caring About Teak
We are often asked about the best ways to care for
Teak Furniture. Because
of the hard and yet forgiving nature of the timber it will withstand a great
deal of abuse. But it will also repay a little tender loving care, so you
may care to read through this page and pick up a few hints.
Generally, you can buy our Teak Garden Furniture in one of two conditions:
1. Fine sanded
2. Oiled with Teak Oil.
Fine Sanded
If you buy your furniture fine sanded it will have only the natural color of
the wood coupled with the raw natural texture of the teak grain. The
untreated timber is a very pleasant yellowy-brown olive color when still
fresh.
If your furniture is to be used indoors, and away from a lot of natural
sunlight, over a period of time -perhaps six months to a year - the wood
will gradually become a darker shade of brown.
If on the other hand the furniture is left outdoors, the effects of the suns
rays will 'bleach out' the timbers natural color, gradually turning it a
soft silvery gray color. This silvery gray 'patina' which develops over time
gives Teak Furniture a distinctive appearance. The silver gray color
resulting from this natural ageing process is considered to be very
attractive, and allows the furniture to blend in well with many outdoor
environments. Teak furniture left in this state is easily maintained, and
needs no treatment whatsoever to give many years of service. And this is
about as easy as a maintenance schedule as its possible to get!
Teak Oiled
If you buy your furniture already oiled with teak oil it will have a darker
than normal mid brown color and a soft sheen. Teak wood is of itself
naturally oily and requires no treatment to be used indoors or outdoors, and
the use of teak oil won't increase the life of the timber. It does change
the color somewhat and it can also help a little to prevent stains from
seeping into the timber grain. It will slow down the graying effect caused
by ultra violet rays.
To maintain its appearance teak oiled furniture will need to be re-oiled
periodically. If you decide to re-oil your furniture you can contact us for
supplies of teak oil, or buy from your local supplier. A basic method for
oiling is as follows:
The furniture will need to be cleaned first, Afterwards ensure that it is
nice and dry before starting to oil. Have a good look around the furniture
first and attend to any areas requiring sanding before starting work.
You will need some
teak oil, a clean 1" or 2" paint brush, some clean cotton
rags, good light and plenty of space to work in. It can be a little messy so
be sure to wear some overalls, and wearing household gloves to keep the oil
off your hands is a good idea as well.
The oil can be applied with a clean brush, starting from the top and working
downwards. The surface should be left wet by the brush, but try to avoid
leaving too much surplus oil behind as you work.
After a few minutes - maybe 5 - 15 depending on the ambient temperature, the
oil will start to become 'tacky'. At this point the surface of the furniture
should be wiped down with a clean cotton rag, carefully removing all surplus
oil.
One coat is usually sufficient, but you can apply a second coat if required,
after a minimum of one hour for the first coat to dry. Once you've completed
the oiling and the surface is touch dry, a second clean rag can be used to
buff up the surface.
Please be sure to dispose of any used rags and cleaning cloths carefully,
and in accordance with the instructions from the oil manufacturer.
Cleaning Teak Furniture
If your Teak furniture requires cleaning this can be done with a normal
household bristle brush [not too hard] and some warm mildly soapy water.
Wash down afterwards with clean water. There are also proprietary cleaners
on the market which can also be used to clean off various deposits and
accumulated dirt and stains.
We do not recommend the use of high pressure hoses, and steel wool or steel
wire brushes should not be used at all as any residue left in the grain will
rust and discolor the wood.
If the furniture has some stubborn and heavily ingrained stains these can be
removed by sanding with a fine grade of sandpaper, being sure to work only
with the direction of the timber grain. After sanding stains away like this,
if the furniture was previously teak oiled you may wish to re-oil, or if it
had previously been left natural, the fresh teak color exposed by sanding
will soon mellow in with the existing silver gray patina.

Teak furniture is right choice for many years of outdoor living enjoyment!
Teak furniture has been popular through the years for its classic elegance
and durability. The tradition of teak outdoor furniture continues with
quality plantation grown teak. Teak is the most weather resistant wood in
the world and is practically maintenance free because it is such a hard
wood.
Teak chairs, tables, benches and loungers last for decades through all
weather conditions and a wide range of seasonal temperatures without paint
or preservatives. When the furniture is outdoors and untreated, the sun and
rain will change all colors to an even, warm, silvery grey. Teak
preservatives are available if you wish to maintain the warm amber color of
the wood. Be sure to use only products recommended especially for teak to
treat your teak patio furniture.
Teak, a tropical hardwood, is saturated with a hard waxy oil substance that
protects the wood from bugs, disease, mold and the effects of weather and
the sun. Natural teak timber varies widely in color from soft, even blonde
to rich patterns of golden amber and deep brown.

Characteristics of the teak tree and its
location
Tectona Grandis is said to be indigenous to India, Burma, Thailand,
Indochina and Java Indonesia. It has been extensively planted for timber or
as an ornamental within its natural range and throughout the tropical
regions of the world, including East and West Africa, as well as Cuba and
the Caribbean, and South America from Panama to Brazil.
Tectona grandis, is not a timber from tropical rain forests, and indeed,
teak cannot grow in rain forests - it is a deciduous tree which grows
particularly well in the dry, hilly terrain typical of plantation forests in
Southeast Asia.
Specifically in Java Indonesia, Perum Perhutani is the government agency
which is responsible for managing Indonesia's extensive forests and
plantations. Java has very large Teak plantations which were first planted
by the Dutch in the early 1800's. These plantations are now well managed by
Perum Perhutani.
Perum Perhutani operate a strict policy regulating the number and size of
trees which can be felled, as well as with regard to the numbers of trees
which are replanted to maintain the productivity of the teak forests for
future generations. The teak plantations produce a high value crop that is a
very valuable source of income in their local area. And the associated
furniture and timber products industry provides regular local employment to
many thousands of people.
When plantation grown the tree will attain a height of up to 45m [150ft]
with a dia. 1 - 1.5m [3 - 5ft]. It will be ready for harvesting at around 50
- 60 years. If well maintained the tree can produce a clear stem of up to
30m in length giving a high timber yield. It produces a very large leaf
similar to a tobacco leaf which is around 12" long and wide.
Characteristics of teak wood
Teak is an extremely dense [40lbs cu ft when dry] coarse grained hardwood.
Teak wood is generally straight grained, but occasionally wavy. It has a
coarse and uneven texture. The wood contains a high level of silica which
causes rapid blunting of cutting edges. When fresh cut the surface of the
wood is dull in appearance, and the timber has a distinctive, pleasantly
aromatic odor which has been likened to the smell of leather. Fresh sawn
teak has a slightly 'oily' feel due to the high oil content.
One of the most commonly quoted facts about the characteristics of teak is
its durability. It is resistant to rot caused by fungal decay, and the high
level of resinous oil present in the timber helps to act as a natural insect
repellent giving the timber very high resistance to attack by termites and
other wood boring insects.
The timber is said to be resistant to water and many chemical reagents,
including acids. It does not have a strong reaction when it comes in contact
with metals.
All these statements regarding the durability of teak are born out by the
fact that we can see many instances of the timber which have withstood the
test of time when used as key components in the boat building industry, or
more sedately when used for making municipal furniture for our parks.
