Teak has long been valued for outdoor furniture because of its natural strength, stability, and resistance to weather. Our collection focuses on two proven materials — A-grade teak and reclaimed teak — each chosen for performance, longevity, and visual character rather than trend.
A-Grade Teak
A-grade teak is cut from the heartwood at the centre of the teak tree. This is the densest and most stable section, naturally rich in oils and rubber that protect the timber from moisture, insects, and temperature fluctuation.
The result is a clean, consistent grain with a warm honey tone and minimal imperfections. Because of its structural integrity, A-grade teak is exceptionally well suited to outdoor dining tables, seating, and large-format furniture that remains outdoors year-round.
Strength and Outdoor Performance
Teak’s performance comes from its internal composition rather than surface treatments. The natural oils within the timber slow water absorption, reducing the risk of warping, cracking, or rot over time.
This makes teak one of the few materials that can be left exposed to sun, rain, and seasonal change while maintaining both strength and appearance. It is why teak has been used for decades in marine, architectural, and outdoor applications.
Reclaimed Teak
Reclaimed teak is sourced from dismantled buildings, bridges, and older structures where the timber has already completed decades of natural seasoning. Structurally, it remains extremely stable, while visually it carries a more varied surface character.
Marks, tonal variation, and surface texture are not defects but evidence of age and use. Each piece is inherently individual, making reclaimed teak well suited to settings where character and material honesty are preferred over uniformity.
Teak Care and Ageing
Left untreated, teak will gradually develop a soft silver-grey patina as it responds to UV exposure. This change is cosmetic only and does not affect the strength or durability of the furniture.
Cleaning: Wash occasionally with mild soap and water to remove surface dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes.
Colour retention: If you prefer to maintain the original honey tone, a teak sealer can be applied once or twice a year.
Low maintenance: Teak does not require regular oiling to remain structurally sound. Its natural properties provide long-term protection with minimal intervention.
