What Is Teak?
Teak is widely regarded as one of the best timbers in the world for outdoor furniture — and for good reason. Known affectionately as the “King of Hardwoods,” this tropical hardwood is not only beautiful but incredibly strong, weather-resistant, and naturally low maintenance.
Where Does Teak Come From?
Our teak is sustainably sourced from well-managed plantations in Indonesia. These government-regulated plantations are designed to ensure long-term environmental responsibility while maintaining the high quality teak is known for.
Why Is Teak So Durable?
Teak contains a high concentration of natural oils and rubber within its dense grain. This makes it naturally resistant to water, pests, rot, and decay — even in harsh outdoor conditions. Unlike many other woods, teak doesn’t need to be treated or sealed to last for years outside.
Low Maintenance, High Performance
Thanks to its natural oils, teak requires very little upkeep. It can be left to weather naturally to a silvery-grey patina or maintained with teak care products if you prefer to preserve its original honey tone. Either way, it’s built to handle life outdoors with ease.
Why Choose Teak Furniture?
- Exceptionally durable and weather-resistant
- Naturally low maintenance
- Resistant to rot, mould, and insect damage
- Beautiful grain and colour that ages gracefully
- Responsibly sourced from sustainable plantations
A Timeless Choice
It’s no surprise teak has earned a reputation as the gold standard for outdoor furniture. Whether it’s a bench in your garden or a full dining set on the patio, teak delivers reliable performance with timeless style — no wonder it’s called the King of Hardwoods!
