Teak is a close grained hardwood with high natural oil content. It
is highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of
sun, rain, frost or snow. These characteristics make it the ideal timber
for all outdoor applications. Many other hardwoods are used for outdoor
furniture and some are even marketed as 'teak substitutes', however,
there is no substitute for teak and no other hardwood will perform to
the same standard as teak in outdoor conditions.
Teak does not require any special maintenance routine. Left outside, the exposed surfaces of the furniture will become a soft silvery grey in color. Besides, weather will cause some surface erosion leading to slight surface roughness, possible mildew and checking. Checking is a natural process that occurs when teak develops small cracks in the end grain. However, this does not affect the durability of teak furniture.
The properties that make teak such a well-suited material for this use
are two-fold. First of all, it's high in natural oils, making it
naturally resistant to rain, snow, and other damaging weather. Second,
it has an exceptionally tight grain that resists splintering. Both of
these qualities have served to make it a perfectly suited material for
the construction of quality furniture for outdoor use.Teak does not require any special maintenance routine.
