Finishing Tips
Our teak furniture will come to you in its natural, unfinished state and will be finely sanded to enhance its smooth surface. The timber is a striking yellow-brown olive color when still new. If you are going to keep your furniture indoors and out of natural sunlight, it will change color over a period of time – perhaps six months to a year. The wood color will change to a darker shade of brown.But if you are going to leave your teak furniture outdoors the sun’s UV rays will slowly “bleach out” the natural color of the teak wood and will leave it a soft sliver-gray “patina” color, giving your furniture the distinctive teak appearance. This silver-gray appearance is very good-looking and useful because it helps the furniture to blend into many different outdoor environments. In this state, teak needs no regular maintenance to maintain its handsome appearance and structural integrity, even when left outdoor through all the years’ harsh elements. Teak is truly maintenance-free!
If you purchase your teak furniture already oiled with teak oil it will be a bit darker than normal, mid-brown color and have a soft sheen. Teak oil is not necessary, and does not lengthen the life of the teak furniture, but it does change the color a bit and will be useful in keeping stains from seeping down into the wood grain. It also will slow down the graying effect of the sun’s UV rays. To maintain the appearance of teak-oiled wood a fresh coat of teak oil will need to be reapplied periodically. If you ever need to reapply teak oil to your furniture please contact us for suppliers of teak oil or purchase some from your local source.
