What are the characteristics, weathering effects, and care considerations for teak furniture?
Understanding the beauty, durability, and natural aging process of teak.
Natural teak roots add a touch of organic texture to spaces indoors or out. Each has unique character, with dramatic highs and lows in the finish.
Over time, teak weathers and greys in the sun for a found feel. Safe for outdoor spaces — cover or store indoors during inclement weather and when not in use. Below are some essential details on the finish.
- A smart, stylish solution for outdoor furniture, teak is a durable, time-tested material that reveals a natural patina over time.
- When exposed to the elements, teak develops an attractive silvery-grey hue, which speaks to the material’s organic nature and does not affect its integrity.
- Hairline cracking, peeling, and joint expansion are expected in all teak furniture.
- Aging timelines are dependent upon weather variables, climate, and exposure.
Communication Tip: Each has a unique character, with dramatic highs and lows in the finish and shape. Knots, color variance, and stains will vary from piece to piece, so no two are alike.
