Finished Teak:
Some of our teak comes with a “pre-weathered” with a silver-grey finish. This finished teak has been vigorously brushed to obtain a textured, seasoned finish and a water-resistant protective coat is applied. This process protects the wood against the weather, UV rays and various stains such as wine, coffee or oil and therefore requires little maintenance.

Over time, the protective finish applied will begin to deteriorate. If you notice your teak is becoming less water resistant it may be time to apply a protective finish using our Teak Shield solution.

Natural Teak:
New teak product will secrete some of its natural oils for the first few weeks which can stain light coloured cushions (or porous stone patio surfaces).We recommend wiping down your new natural teak furniture with a damp cloth & allowing the oils in your furniture to dry for a minimum of 2 weeks before use. This should be done before placing new cushions on the product. If cushions do become stained by the oils in the teak, we recommend the use of our Upholstery Cleaner.

To restore weathered teak to its natural honey colour we recommend thoroughly cleaning your natural teak with our Teak Care Kit. After applying the Teak Cleaner and Protector you may choose to apply our Teak Shield to help repel moisture and prevent staining. Follow the instructions indicated on the bottles.
