Why Choose Teak for Patio or Garden Furniture?

Teak wood is known for its natural beauty and resistance to outdoor elements. It is strong, sturdy, and has a high oil content and dense grain that protects it from decay and insects. This means your furniture will maintain its stunning appearance for years to come. Teak is also a natural product and grown in Indonesia at Planations that were started by the Dutch more than 200 years ago. Teak is sustainably harvested and the process is controlled by the Indonesian Government. Unlike recycled plastic furniture that is heavy and is not biodegradable, or metal furniture which eventually corrodes, teak patio furniture can last for decades. In fact we have customers who have sent us photographs of their teak furniture purchased from Goldenteak after more than 15 years.

Benefits of Teak Patio Furniture

As mentioned earlier - Grade A Teak Wood (that is used by Goldenteak) has high oil content that protects the furniture pieces from mold, decay and insects.

Grade A Teak Wood has remarkable durability and tight grain. To clean and "refresh" your teak outdoor furniture, all one needs to do is hose it down or do a light pressure wash. The dark areas you might see on the wood are mold growing on the pollen that has fallen on the teak wood, rather than on the teak wood itself. So a light pressure wash or a manual wash with soap and water should clean up the teak wood to its clean color. 

Teak Wood will weather to a silvery grey (like driftwood) if left untreated. Teak Oil or any UV protector may be used on Teak Wood to preserve its golden brown color.The UV protection does not affect the longetivity of the teak. Teak Oil or any UV protector will evaporate over time, based on sun exposure. One has to reapply the Teak Oil or UV protector from time to time to keep the brown color. 

If you let the Teak Wood weather and need to bring back the brown color - a light sanding of the top surface is all that is needed. One could also use "chemical sanding", which is to use oxalic acid (main ingredient in wood brighterners) in dilution to remove the top layer of cellulose and bring out the brown color again. Oxalic acid will raise the grain just a bit and a light sanding may be reqiuired after its use (and the wood is dry).

Teak Patio Furniture is very low maintenance - especially if you allow it to weather naturally to a silvery grey.  It is a strong durable wood and your furniture will last for many many years. Some of Goldenteak's products are shown in our customer photos after 15 or so years of use. There are benches in the UK that are in public parks and are 100 + years old.

Premium Manufacturing Methods and Grade A  Premium Teak Wood - The making of Premium Teak Patio Furniture

At Goldenteak, we take pride in our Precision Manufacturing. Each piece of furniture is carefully constructed using traditional mortise and tenon joinery techniques. Our manufacturing is not a cottage industry where every piece is different, but rather made using drawings and precision machinery. This implies that if a piece of your teak patio furniture from Goldenteak is damaged during shipping or in use, we can send you a replacement part that will fit. The joints are tight and precise, and we use no fingerjointing in the long boards. Fingerjointing is when two shorter pieces are joined together to make a longer piece, to save the manufacturer money. Fingerjointing introduces a weakness at the fingerjoint where separation will occur over time.

We also only use Grade A Premium Teak Wood.  This is the best part of the tree for its durability, hardness and other characteristics, and also the most expensive.

Care Tips for Your Teak Outdoor Furniture

Once you’ve made the investment in teak outdoor furniture, it’s vital to care for it properly to maintain its beauty and longevity. Here at Goldenteak, we understand that you would want your teak patio furniture to look good at all times. By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your teak furniture remains in excellent condition for many years to come.

Teak Patio furniture can accumulate some dirt and grime. This is mostly due to mold and debris on the surface. The mold grows on the pollen that has accumulated on the surface, not directly on the teak.

Regular Cleaning of Teak Furniture

If your teak patio furniture is in a sunny location, you will be surprised by the amount of cleaning nature will do. For example, small food stains, oil stains, wine and drink stains, will naturally disappear over time when exposed to the sun and rain. If you want to institute a regular cleaning regimen you can take the steps below.

Regular cleaning is a simple step in maintaining your teak furniture’s appearance. Start by putting on a pair of gloves to protect your skin. Then, create a soapy solution of dishwashing soap and water. Dip a brush into the solution and gently scrub the furniture, working along the grain where possible. Rinse with a garden hose on a gentle setting, ensuring all suds and bleach are thoroughly washed off. Towel off excess water and let your furniture air-dry.

For very soiled teak furniture, a mixture of dishwashing soap, water, and a quarter cup of bleach can be used. Apply the mixture, let it soak for about 10 minutes, then scrub with a bristle brush before rinsing off with a garden hose.

We have had good luck with very light pressure washing. Light pressure washing implies keeping the wand about 12 inches away on a fan spray setting, and moving it back and forth along the grain. You will notice that the first sweep wets the surface, and the next time you go over the same area, you will see all the dirt lifting off. You can use light pressure washing after coating the dirty surfaces with the mixture of dishwashing soap and bleach described above.

If you notice any rough areas after drying, use 220 grit sandpaper to smooth them out, always sanding with the grain to avoid scratching the surface of the teak. For tougher stains, a specialty teak cleaner can be used to soften and lift the marks.

Preserving the Color of Teak Furniture

Teak outdoor furniture naturally changes color with age, from a warm honey tone to a silvery gray patina due to bleaching from UV light. This color change is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect the furniture’s strength or durability. However, if you prefer to maintain the golden color of teak, treating the wood’s surface with teak oil or sealer (both of which are essentially UV protectants)  will preserve the original hue.

We recommend using a teak sealer, which should be applied once a year after cleaning the furniture. The sealer prevents the color from fading and helps combat fungus, mold, and mildew growth. Alternatively, you can use teak oil which provides almost immediate results but requires more frequent reapplications.

Teak Oil or Sealer must be applied only to DRY teak surfaces, If the teak surfaces are moist, the teak oil or sealer will trap the moisture, and create an ideal environment for mold and mildew.

Storing Teak Furniture

While teak furniture can generally withstand outdoor conditions year-round, areas with heavy snowfall may require additional care. Snow accumulation on the Teak Wood does not damage the teak wood in any way, but it does create a moist environment where the leaves, dirt and debris that have accumulated below the snow will start decomposing.  This creates a  situation where you would need to clean the furniture before use.

To avoid having to clean off the dirt and debris below the snow, one may use furniture covers. Our specially designed breathable furniture covers provide strong protection against rain, snow, sun exposure, and wind gusts up to 70 MPH, ensuring your teak furniture remains unscathed during the off-season. The breathable nature of these furniture covers allows for air circulation reducing the chance for mold buildup.

By adhering to these care tips, you can maintain the beauty and durability of your teak outdoor furniture, ensuring it remains a part of your outdoor living space for many memorable years to come.
