More about Teak Wood
Teak is a tropical hardwood birch tree, also known as Tectona, which is grown on plantations in various areas of South East Asia including Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Phillippines and Malaysia. Teak trees reach a height of up to 150 ft and often can live up to 100 years if unharvested. Tree harvesting and conservation is strictly controlled by the government in these countries to ensure an adequate supply of high grade teak for furniture and other products. The best quality teak wood comes from trees at least 40 years old that have been drained of water for a period of 1 to 2 years. There are many processes involved in the harvesting of teak which must be performed under exacting conditions in order to produce high-quality teak wood for use in furniture. These are performed under the careful cooperation of tree plantations and the governments of teak producing countries. New, genetically improved teak woods and improved harvesting technologies are beginning to allow for faster processing of teak woods. What makes teak so special? It has many qualities that make it a superior wood for furniture. It is highly resistant to all kinds of weather. It contains naturally antibacterial qualities which make it highly resistant to decay and insects. Its fibers are elastic for woodworking ease, yet it holds it’s form for many years, making it ideal for things like boat decks and furniture. Teak’s heartwood contains a special oil which repels water and keeps it gleaming like new year after year. It maintains its strength and will not become brittle, even when left outside in the elements for years. Another characteristic of teak is its easy maintenance. In fact, depending on your preference, no special care is needed at all. After about 3 months of exposure, teak will begin to develop a “weathered” appearance that will continue for another 6 to 9 months. This gray patina appearance is a highly distinctive feature of teak wood that allows it to easily blend into any outdoor environment. If you prefer to keep your teak furniture its original golden brown, then simply apply a light coat of teak oil 3 times a year, or seal with a high-quality teak sealer once a year. If your teak furniture is kept indoors out of the sunlight from windows, you may notice it gradually turn slightly more brown within the first year. You may wonder if outdoor teak furniture is really a good investment. The answer is a resounding “yes!!” Despite careful conservation techniques and new technologies that may allow for faster harvesting of trees, demand for teak products continues to grow as people around the world discover its beauty and versatility. Prices will continue to rise as supply is unable to keep up with this increasing demand. All of our teak products utilize grade A, kiln dried teak, the finest in the world. What does this mean? Grade A means that there are no knots, cracks, imperfections or color variations in the wood. Kiln dried, means that the wood has been thoroughly dried for maximum strength and sturdiness. Rest assured, our teak furniture will continue to be a good investment as each year passes.
