What is so special about teak?
 
Teak is a deciduous hardwood tree native to the highlands of east India through Burma (Myanmar), it is not native to tropical rainforests. Teakwood is extremely durable with a naturally high oil and silica content, which makes it both stable in climatic extremes and resistant to rotting and insects. For many years teak has been the choice of boat builders for its long-lived durability in the most severe conditions. For these reasons teak is considered the premium natural material by producers and users of fine outdoor furniture.
 
How long will the furniture last?
 
Teak furniture is made of one of nature’s most durable renewable building materials. Teak has been used for centuries for building construction, shipbuilding and furniture construction. Teak furniture has withstood the test of time in public areas around England with many pieces still in use after 100 years. Your furniture will also give decades of service without requiring the constant care that some other types of outdoor furniture demand.
 
Why does my new teak furniture have dark or red markings?
 
Teakwood is a natural living material and as such there is endless variety in grain. In the manufacturing process, the freshly cut wood often exhibits deeply colored grain markings. This is perfectly normal and in most cases will disappear after a few days of exposure to sunlight.
 
Why do small cracks occur in the wood?
 
Teakwood is a natural cellular material. It absorbs small amounts of moisture when exposed to rainfall and loses it when the environment is hot and dry. This causes expansion and contraction and can cause small cracks to appear at the surface of the wood. These fine cracks are a normal weathering effect and have no effect on the serviceability or longevity of the furniture. They will soon blend into the surrounding surface.
Cracks appear periodically in my furniture and then go away?
 
This is perfectly normal as the wood breathes and reacts to variations in the moisture content of the air. The cracking tends to appear on the end grain sections and usually happens early in the life of the furniture. Cracks come and go depending on seasonal variations but rarely do they affect the strength, performance or life expectancy of the item.
 
Should I keep the furniture indoors during the winter months?
 
There is no problem wintering furniture outside, it may need a washing down in spring before use. Should you prefer to bring your furniture indoors, our range of folding tables and chairs are perfect and can be easily tucked away when not in use.
 
  Are less expensive items in the range as good quality as the more expensive?
 
Generally price is dictated by the shape and weight of a piece of furniture. The more shape a piece has, the more wood is required to make it along with taking more time to create. Also the heavier the sections of wood used means more weight and thus more cost. No matter which piece of furniture you choose, you can be assured that the same great quality teak and standard of workmanship is used along with the same methods of manufacture and assembly
