Why teak is the ultimate choice for luxury garden furniture
There are many reasons why teak is considered the ultimate investment when it comes to garden furniture with a luxurious look and feel.
After all, this tropical hardwood offers the perfect blend of practicality, functionality and durability. And teak is known for its timeless elegance, natural resilience and ability to enhance any outside space. Here, we look in a little more detail at what makes it such a great choice for your garden, no matter its shape, size or style.
Unparalleled durability
Teak’s durability is one of the main factors making it such a great choice for outdoor furniture. Whatever items you’re looking for, this wood has the potential to last and keep on withstanding the elements for decades. Indeed, it is one of the longest-lasting hardwoods around. Its naturally occurring oils protect against insects, moisture and decay.
Minimal maintenance
The best quality teak outdoor furniture needs next-to-no maintenance and, unlike other timber varieties, doesn’t require frequent treatment with varnishes or oils. Teak ages gracefully, taking on an elegant silvery-grey patina over time.
The sustainable choice
Your investment in teak can actively contribute to forest conservation, supporting the environment and eco-friendly practices. Look for certifications which guarantee responsible forest management and are legally sourced – don’t buy pieces which have no sustainability information or certification.
A timelessly elegant visual appeal
With its rich golden tones, teak furniture enhances any outdoor space, whatever its style. Your garden or patio will immediately become more welcoming and functional; however, many of you use the area, so it’s the ultimate garden upgrade. And, if you’re considering selling up, teak garden furniture will make your place look more appealing instantly when people come to look around, potentially boosting the chances of a profitable, speedy sale of your property.
