Collection: Teakwood Furniture

Both oak and teak are highly durable and popular for furniture, but teak is often preferred for its exceptional weather resistance, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. Teak contains natural oils that repel moisture and pests, making it more suitable for adverse conditions. Oak, while sturdy and beautiful, is better suited for indoor furniture unless specially treated for outdoor use. Check out our blog for a detailed comparison on oak and teak.

Teakwood is considered a premium material for furniture due to its superior durability, natural oils, and tight grain, which protect it from pests, rot, and the elements. Its slow growth rate and high demand also contribute to its higher price. Teak's longevity and timeless appeal make it a cost-effective choice over the long term, justifying the initial investment for high-quality teak furniture.

Teak furniture is surprisingly easy to maintain, especially suited to the busy lifestyles of today’s households. It naturally resists decay, moisture, and warping, which means it doesn’t require frequent treatment. To maintain its natural colour, a simple application of teak oil once a year is sufficient. Otherwise, a wash with soapy water a couple of times a year will keep your teak furniture looking great.

Teak is less prone to staining than many other woods due to its high oil content, which creates a barrier that resists spills and stains. However, like all wood, it can be susceptible to stains from harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to highly pigmented substances. Prompt cleaning and occasional light sanding and re-oiling will help maintain its pristine condition.
