From
benches, tables, lounging chairs, patio sets and dining sets, Teak offers
a durable option for any furniture choices. Teak furniture is made from
a hardwood native to the southeastern and southern areas of Asia. As
a tropical wood, Teak can endure weathering such as splitting, rotting
and cracking as well as bug infestations.
Teak furniture is often available in several shades depending
on the treatment of the wood. A newly-treated teak piece will maintain
its sheen. A piece treated for an aged-look will provide a silver or
gray wood. With many shades in between, it's easy to find a teak set
that matches the decor of your living room, dining room, bedroom or
patio area.
Despite being a hardwood, Teak must also be well maintained
to retain its particular sheen. Sealants are available at a variety
of home improvement stores for teak and accompanying literature of a
newly purchased piece of teak furniture will usually indicate proper
storage and maintenance.
