Why Teak?

Teak is a yellowish brown timber with good grains and texture. It is used in the manufacture of furniture, boat decks, and other articles where weather resistance is desired. It is one of the most eco-friendly materials on the market. Since teak wood has its own natural oil that makes it very durable, it is frequently used in making furniture.

Why choose teak wood furniture?

Durability: Teak wood is derived from mature teak trees, which have the natural ability to ward off dry rot, fungus, and parasites. Teak furniture will stay in good condition for a long time. This makes it an eco-friendly investment because you will not have to discard and replace it after a few years of use.

Easy to clean: You only need to wipe down teak wood furniture with special varnish and light cleaning products to keep it looking fresh and new. This means you need fewer cleaning products and solutions for cleaning your teak wood furniture than plastic, metal, and other types of wooden furniture.

Strength: Teak is harder than many other types of wood used to make outdoor furniture. Teak furniture does not corrode or warp from the effects of weathering. Teak furniture can withstand different types of weather, making it a good choice in outdoor furniture for a variety of climates.

Low maintenance: While other types of wood and certain types of plastic require repainting or re-staining over time to maintain their good looks, teak outdoor furniture does not require these. It will naturally change color from honey brown to silver grey; this color change does not affect the wood's durability or strength or you can use Natural teak-wood oil to maintain the wood's rich brown color.

About Reclaimed Teak

Reclaimed teak wood is teak that has been reaped from any works, e.g. quays, bridges, housing, etc. The lumber is then gently selected and restored yielding in a rich mature aged patina, which is significantly resistant and less likely to shrink or crack. This reduces the felling trees, and lead existing materials to a new use since it is being used again.

In consequence, recycled teak is royally eco-friendly. It tends to have less pitch pockets, sapwood, and other natural defects since recycled teak wood is from old-growth trees. Another advantage we can gain from this wood is that it less likely to warp or twist than freshly felled timber. It is because it has been air-drying for decades, and consequently fully adjusted to the atmosphere.

Recycled teak wood is the wood of choice for many architects and builders around the world. It is often more expensive than new wood, as the cost to retrieve it, clean it and get it to market costs more than the felling of new wood. Nevertheless, there is nothing more timeless than a hand crafted piece of recycled teak wood furniture. Each piece is absolutely picturesque, giving it the extra distinctive something. Purchasing authentic reclaimed teak furniture is not only an environmentally friendly option, but one can end up owning a piece of the past as well. Recycled teak will last a lifetime and often remains in families for generations.
