Why Buy Teak Outdoor Furniture?
Teak is one of the hardest, most durable of the hardwoods, making it the perfect material for outdoor furniture that lasts. Used in shipbuilding since the middle ages, it continues to be used today for a wide variety of interior and exterior environments. When introduced in the 1950′s it quickly became a popular choice for outdoor furniture.
Furniture made from teak wood is valued for its durability and water resistance. This is one of the few woods containing a natural oil which repels water, keeping it from warping, cracking or becoming brittle when exposed to outdoors. Outdoor furniture made from teak will withstand the harsh effects of hard rains, severe winter snow storms and broiling sun without diminishing it's strength.
Teak wood features a close-grain ranging from smooth to coarse. When new, Teak wood furniture has a honey brown color. Over time it will age naturally into an elegant patina grey.
Not only does teak hold up well against the weather, it is also has a high resistance to rotting, termite devastation and acid damage. The abundant natural oils repel unwanted insects and moisture from damaging the integrity of the timber.
