FAQ's
Will my teak furniture weather to a different color?
Yes if your furniture is left untreated ,outside and not oiled,your furniture will eventually weather to a silver grey color. This process is usually completed in roughly 12 months but you will start to notice the difference in the first 3 months. If your furniture is exposed to a lot of sunlight this will accelerate the process
​
Can I keep my original “golden” color of my teak furniture?
Yes you can retain the original golden color by applying teak or danish oil to your furniture to coat it and stop the weathering process. This will need to be done within the first 1-2 weeks of placing your furniture outside as you would not want it to start weathering as you would be applying oil to an already weathered product.
​
Does my Teak furniture come with a Guarantee?
Yes all products come with a years “structural” Guarantee covering anything structural and not accidental damage.
​
I have a split in my teak furniture, is this anything to worry about?
Your teak furniture may develop small cracks/splits as it begins the weathering process and is exposed to its new environment. They call this “checking” . This is nothing to worry about and and is natural with all wood products. The wood is releasing and drawing moisture and will not affect the longevity of your furniture. This is purely a natural characteristic of teak and is completely normal. Over time these usually sort themselves out but if this is bothering you,all you need to do is apply a small amount of wood adhesive on the crack/split and lightly sand down so it fills this in.
​
Is teak furniture a good investment?
The most notable reason for investing in teak is its highly lucrative potential. Teak is a highly desirable wood used for making exotic products such as boat decking for yachts and other boats and high-end outdoor furniture.
​
Is Teakwood good wood?

​
Do I need to maintain my teak furniture with oil?
Oiling your teak furniture is optional and is purely for cosmetic purposes and will not extend the life of your furniture. By using either Teak or Danish oil (Make sure you purchase some good quality oil) once every year to two years,you can maintain the original golden color of your Teak furniture. (This can be supplied from your local hardware store)
​
How do I clean my Teak furniture?
If your furniture is starting to show signs of dirt, grime or is starting to look slightly green and mossy or faintly black, then it is time to give your teak furniture a clean. Start by mixing a small amount of bleach and washing up liquid with some hot water. Gently hose your furniture down (or just the affected area). Scrub your furniture down with either a cloth or sponge using the mixture of hot water, bleach and washing up liquid. Finally hose down and leave to dry. This process is recommended to be done on a dry sunny day.
