Grade A teak is the highest quality teak available. It is taken from the dense heartwood of mature trees, where the concentration of natural oils is strongest. These oils provide built-in resistance to moisture, rot and insect damage, making Grade A teak exceptionally suited to outdoor furniture in the UK climate.
All of our collections are crafted using responsibly sourced Grade A teak for long-term structural strength and outdoor performance.
Our teak furniture is manufactured at source in Indonesia, where the timber is grown and harvested. Producing at source allows strict control over timber selection, kiln drying, joinery construction and finishing standards.
You can learn more on our Teak Manufacturing Process page.
Yes. Our teak is legally harvested from regulated Indonesian plantations under government-controlled forestry programmes. We prioritise responsible sourcing to ensure long-term environmental sustainability and traceability.
Grade A teak comes from the mature heartwood and contains the highest natural oil content, offering superior durability.
Grade B teak is taken from outer heartwood with lower oil concentration.
Grade C teak is sapwood, lighter in colour and significantly less durable.
We use only Grade A teak for our outdoor furniture collections.
Teak combines high density with exceptional natural oil content. This natural composition allows it to resist rain, damp air and seasonal temperature changes without requiring sealing or chemical treatment.
For British gardens where moisture exposure is common, teak offers unmatched durability and longevity.
Due to the UK’s variable climate and humidity levels during transit, you may occasionally notice a light surface bloom or mild mould when unpacking your teak furniture.
We take preventative measures by including moisture-absorbing materials in our packaging. However, seasonal conditions can sometimes lead to this temporary surface appearance.
This is purely cosmetic and does not impact the strength, durability, or lifespan of your furniture. It can be easily removed with a damp cloth or warm soapy water. Once cleaned and allowed to air, your teak will return to its natural condition.
Yes. Grade A teak can remain outdoors throughout the year in the UK.
Its natural oils protect it against rain, damp conditions and temperature fluctuations. Unlike softer hardwoods, teak does not require winter storage to maintain structural integrity.
Teak is highly resistant to frost damage due to its dense grain and oil content. Minor surface hairline movement may occasionally occur as timber responds to temperature changes, but this is cosmetic and does not affect strength or longevity.
Yes. Teak performs exceptionally well in damp and humid environments. Its natural oils limit moisture absorption, helping prevent rot and decay even during prolonged wet periods.
Yes. Teak is suitable for coastal locations. Its density and oil content offer natural resistance to salt air exposure. In coastal areas, occasional cleaning is recommended to remove salt residue.
No. Grade A teak is naturally resistant to rot. Rain exposure will not compromise the structural integrity of the timber.
High-quality Grade A teak furniture can last 20-30 years or more outdoors in the UK.
Longevity depends on timber grade, construction quality and basic maintenance. Because our furniture is manufactured at source using premium timber and robust joinery, it is designed for decades of outdoor use.
For maintenance guidance, please refer to our Teak Care Guide.
Covering teak furniture in winter is optional. Teak does not require protection from rain or frost to preserve structural integrity.
If covers are used, they should be breathable to prevent trapped condensation.
No. Teak does not require oil to maintain strength or durability. Oiling is purely aesthetic and used only if you wish to preserve the original golden-brown tone.
Teak turns silver-grey due to natural oxidation caused by UV exposure and rainfall. This weathering process is cosmetic and does not affect durability.
Yes. A specialist teak protector can be applied if you wish to slow the greying process. Many customers choose to allow the timber to develop its natural patina.
See our How to Care for Teak Furniture page for guidance.
Black spots are typically surface mildew caused by damp conditions. This is not rot and does not indicate structural damage. It can be removed with warm soapy water or a specialist teak cleaner.
In the UK climate, cleaning once or twice per year is generally sufficient. Additional cleaning may required in shaded or coastal environments.
Yes. Teak can remain untreated without affecting durability. The timber will gradually develop a uniform silver-grey tone over time.
Use warm water, mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Always clean along the grain. Avoid pressure washers, as they can damage the surface fibres.
Our cushions are shower-resistant but not fully waterproof. They can withstand light rain but should not be exposed to prolonged heavy rainfall.
We recommend storing cushions during extended or heavy rain to preserve their condition and lifespan.
Cushions should be cleaned, fully dried and stored indoors in a dry, ventilated area during winter months.
Parasols should be removed during strong winds or when not in use. Leaving a parasol unattended in windy conditions may cause structural damage.
Many of our round dining tables are compatible with Lazy Susans. Please check the product specifications within our Teak Dining Sets collection pages for compatibility details.
Yes, our cushions can be cleaned, but they are not machine washable.
We recommend hand washing only, using cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap. Gently clean the affected area using a soft cloth or sponge, then allow the cushions to air dry fully before reuse.
If needed, a cold wash setting may be used, but avoid high temperatures, harsh detergents or tumble drying, as this can damage the fabric and reduce performance.
For light stains, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water and gently clean the area. Avoid scrubbing too harshly.Allow the cushion to air dry completely before placing it back on the furniture.
