I can buy hardwood furniture at lower prices. Why is Teak more?
Our grade A teak
is strong, heavy, and crafted by the Britannic skilled workforce. It is virtually maintenance free and will endure for many years. Therefore
it is much more cost effective to acquire furniture made from Teak. There are a
number of cheaper hardwoods used for outdoor furniture and all of them are
inferior to teak. Iroko is the most common of these woods and it does not have
the same life expectancy as teak, let alone the same touch, feel or aesthetic
quality. Teak furniture is not expensive when you relate the cost to its life
expectancy, you must remember this when comparing prices. You are not comparing
like with like when you compare teak with any other wood. See

How
do I look after my furniture?
Teak
is a natural product, it can be left out in the open all year round in any
weather. Its colour will gradually mellow to a graceful silver grey. The
character of your furniture will alter, but its strength will remain. See

How
long will my furniture last?
Teak
furniture should last a lifetime if properly built in the first place. Only grade
A teak is used and crafted into the finest teak furniture. Teak resists both warping and rot.
Cracks
have appeared in my furniture, why?
This
is perfectly normal as the wood breathes and reacts to variations in the
moisture content of the air. The cracking tends to appear on the end grain
sections and usually happens early in the life of the furniture. Cracks come and
go depending on seasonal variations but rarely do they affect the strength,
performance or life expectancy of the item.
Should
I protect the furniture during Winter?
There
is no need to. It may need a washing down with soapy water in Spring before
use. |
