Teak furniture is a good choice for adding an extra elegance
to our outdoor and indoor
Teak furniture is made from the wood of the teak tree. It
is strong, durable, hard, and yellowish brown in appearance. It is such a good
building material that it effectively resists the attack of termites. Teak wood
doesn't rot and hence was used for making ships. Teak furniture comes in
different categories. There is outdoor furniture, teak lawn, teak patio
furniture and it is available in various models which are compatible with
offices, lawns, gardens, homes etc.
Teak products for outdoor use need regular maintenance
for lasting in good shape for a long time. There are different varieties of
teak wood garden furniture which are high in demand. Some of the commonly used
types are garden benches, garden fences, Adirondack chairs etc. Though not
always outside, patio furniture also should be made of good material to last
for a long time. Teak is the best choice for that, as it can last more than any
other natural and synthetic wood materials.
Another feature of teak wood furniture is that it ages
gracefully. As years pass on, teak furniture retains its elegance and beauty.
Teak furniture does not require any chemical treatment for maintaining its
strength or beauty. They are not painted or treated with coloring materials.
The natural color of this wood is honey brown. We just need to polish the
surface to bring out the natural glow. This does not undermine the need of care
for them. Teak cleaner and teak guard can be applied on it once in two years as
a maintenance task.
If you are keen about keeping your teak furniture in good
shape throughout its lifetime, then there are certain things that can be done
for a guaranteed long life. Every three or four months, we can sand down the
entire furniture, and apply teak oil on them. This is a conditioner material which
will keep the strength of this furniture for a long time.
The use of teak oil does not interfere with the color of
the furniture. The color of teak is honey brown when it is new and as it gets
older the color turns to a deeper hue to give a rich antique like look. With
the increase in demand for teak wood furniture, the prices have also gone up.
But there are options for us to find some shops and online vendors selling teak
wood furniture at discount prices.
