It’s finally home. You’ve just forked out a sizeable amount of money for your dream teak garden furniture set. There it is, sitting amongst the pristine backdrop of your freshly preened garden, its youthful honey-gold complexion revealing its incredibly young age. This grade-A teak is Java’s finest and all of its intricate details are visible. The woodgrains run tightly up the length of each piece, you can tell it’s remarkably smooth just by looking at it. “I’ll keep it like this forever” you say. That’ll be difficult without the right help. Even grade-A teak -- which is renowned for its unmatched durability and weatherproof nature -- could use an extra hand once a year. Look at the level of detail in its woodgrains, you wouldn’t want to cover that up in dirt would you? How about when it finally ages into its instantly recognisable silver-grey patina, which reflects the sun like a beacon? Well it won’t if you don’t keep it clean. We hear a lot about teak’s world renowned longevity compared to other woods, whilst this is completely true, you wouldn’t want dirt and grime to sit on its surface, even if it doesn’t cause any damage to the wood. You wouldn’t smear a laminated Rembrandt in pond water, would you? Here we are going to go over our range of essential teak care products, so you can keep your luxury teak outdoor furniture glistening throughout the decades. You’ll hear from many online sources that a mild hose down every year will keep your teak garden furniture as good as new. This is incorrect. Whilst that may dislodge the larger chunks of dirt, it doesn’t completely remove the dirt and grime which isn’t visible to the human eye (which is the majority of it). You need something extra which can break down dirt and have your furniture as clean as it was when new. This water-based teak cleaner formula is not only a high concentration cleaner, it also contains wood brightening ingredients for added shine. Most competitive brands require a 2-step-process: A separate cleaner and brightener meaning twice the work. Not here. Plus unlike most other teak cleaners, ours is classified as non-hazardous so it’s safer for you and the environment. So you’ve done the cleaning, now it’s time for the repelling. When you’ve finally dislodged all the previous dirt and grime, you wouldn’t want to come back the next morning to find there was a storm overnight which has enveloped your once-pristine teak garden furniture in a fresh layer of mud pie. Our teak sealer shield will make your teak wood furniture water and dirt repellent. This teak shield is 100% water-based, and a near invisible wood impregnator that makes it difficult for wine, olive oil, butter, or coffee to seep into your golden teak. This is great for both indoor and outdoor furniture, as it ensures that post-meal your teak table can simply be wiped down with a damp cloth, without any unsightly stains remaining. Are you in love with the youthful honey-gold complexion of your new teak furniture? Maybe it reminds you of its fine Javan heritage, maybe you prefer it to the silver-grey patina yet to come. Like a puppy, you wish it could stay this way forever. Wish no more. Our specialist teak protector will maintain your golden teak garden furniture up to 4x as long as teak oils. This teak protector also gives a nicer, more natural colour after application (teak-oil makes teak appear much darker brown). Also, Teak-oil often cause black spots on the wood as dirt and grime easily sticks to its surface. Our teak protector is not oil-based or greasy so your clothes stay clean. Most teak-oils contain hazardous solvents/voc's, whereas our protector is water-based and solvent-free: that is why we call it eco-safe. Maybe you prefer the mature appeal of teak’s elegant silver-grey patina and can’t wait to bring it on. We don’t blame you, this maturation is one reason grade-A teak is commonly used on ship decks. Now you can preserve this silver complexion with our quality teak patinizer.
This is a water-based product for teak wood furniture based on synthetic polymers which are highly resistant to water and dirt. Teak Patinizer slows the growth of algae and fungi in order to maintain teak’s silver-grey colour for a longer period of time, without getting green deposits. Patinizer guarantees the typical light-grey patina of your furniture will be untarnished as decades worth of seasons pass by. For more information on our range of high-end teak care products, call our expert team on 020 8655 6242 or email [email protected]. With its smooth glossy finish, graceful silver ageing and its simplistic charm, teak garden furniture defines itself as a timeless statement piece found in any English home. Its origins date back centuries, having been widely used in India for over 2000 years and cultivated by Danish colonists almost 200 years ago. Recognised for its incredible durability and elegant colouring, teak has become one of the most popular and high quality materials for garden furniture in the world.
What type of wood is teak? A lot of factors contribute to making teak, Tectona grandis, the finest material for garden furniture. Grade A teak furniture is sourced from the heartwood. It has tight grain and a high oil content, making it incredibly durable and weather resistant. To assure the highest quality, teak goes through a lengthy drying process. Teak must have a moisture content of 12% or less. To achieve this, teak wood is dried in a kiln for up to 8 weeks. Further to this, teak furniture is constructed with mortise and tenon joinery, allowing the natural expansion and contraction of wood and avoiding the deterioration of metal screws. These combined processes raise the quality of the teak, assuring longevity. The colour of teak changes with age. The warm, honey colour that it possesses when new slowly ages into the now classic silver that teak is recognisable for. Both colours are timeless and tasteful. To maintain the golden colour of new teak, all that is needed is a gentle application of a water-based teak protector. Equally, to achieve the silver colour, no effort is required - in time it will weather to a beautiful silvery-grey patina. There is minimal maintenance required to keep teak looking graceful. However, if you prefer, there is a range of water-based teak care products available to preserve that brand new feeling. Whatever the style or colour of your teak garden furniture, you are guaranteed a timeless, elegant piece that will last a lifetime. |
