About Teak
Teak, Tectona grandis, is one of the most valued woods in the world, high in natural oils that give teak strength and durability, making it virtually impervious to the elements.
Where does your Teak come from?
Java Teak is from the plantations of Perum Perhutani on the island of Java. These plantations are owned and managed by the government, who are party to a comprehensive sustainable replanting program.
Taking care of your Teak
If you prefer your teak in its natural state – left untreated – the furniture in time will turn a silver-grey in colour. This is the maintenance free approach that we advocate. In hot dry and sunny conditions, some cracks may appear especially on the end grain. These are perfectly normal characteristics of the wood and will not affect the strength or structural integrity of your furniture.
Can I treat my furniture?
To maintain the more original golden appearance of your furniture teak oil can be applied. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions. The oil is best applied with a cloth rather than a brush. This process will help reduce the amount of end grain cracking and possible warping that can occur over a period of time, if treatment is started. Once treatment is commenced maintenance needs to be continued regularly, to prevent uneven colouring.
Can I clean my furniture?
When retreating your furniture it is essential that it is first cleaned using a teak cleaner to remove any dirt follow manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions. When your furniture is completely dry, teak oil can be re-applied.
How is your furniture constructed?
All Java furniture is constructed in the time honoured fashion of tight fitting mortise and tenon joints with teak dowels. Where possible, Java Teak furniture is delivered fully assembled and can easily be mixed and matched.
