What is teak?
Teak is commonly referred to as the "king of woods" and comes from the Tectona grandis tree. Teak wood is a dense, tightly grained hardwood with a woody color and smooth texture. Due to its high content of natural oils and rubber, it is incredibly strong and durable, and highly resistant to extreme weather conditions and rot.
How to measure teak garden furniture
Due to teak's durability, it's no surprise that it's the first choice for those looking to invest in high-quality garden furniture. Before deciding on the teak furniture you need for your space, take the time to properly measure both the furniture and the area where it will be placed. All our teak products are listed with the depth, height, and width of each piece, so it's important to note these dimensions.
Use a roll of masking tape to mark out the furniture in your garden. This will give you a much more accurate representation of the size than simply noting the square footage of your space. Once you've marked out your teak garden furniture, take the time to walk through the garden and check if the arrangement works for you.
Things to consider:
- Can the dining room chairs be safely pulled in and out?
- Is it possible to walk around the furniture?
- Are the furniture pieces blocking important paths or exits?
If you are looking for space-saving teak furniture, consider an extendable teak dining table or our teak stacking chairs – perfect for compact outdoor spaces where quality cannot be compromised.
How to care for teak furniture
One of the main advantages of teak is its incredibly low maintenance. Being such a dense hardwood, it can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. Fresh teak has a golden-brown color that ages to a beautiful silvery-gray hue over time. To prevent teak from aging, all you need to do is sand your furniture once a year and apply a wood finish. For detailed teak care instructions, see our Teak Care Guide.
If you prefer to let your teak age naturally, it's perfectly fine to leave it alone.
Storage of teak garden furniture
Teak garden furniture can remain outdoors year-round, as the wood's natural oils make it incredibly durable. However, if you wish to store your teak furniture to protect its color or to save space in the garden during winter, we recommend storing it in a garage, shed, or outbuilding.
What do the different types of teak wood mean?
When buying teak garden furniture, you might come across the term "grade." This simply indicates the quality of the teak wood you're purchasing. There are three grades of teak, but those seeking the highest quality should always opt for grade A. All teak furniture at Luxus is made from grade A teak, which is knot-free and has a dense, tightly curved grain. Grade A teak has a uniform color and is not prone to splitting or shrinking over time. At Luxus, our teak is also completely sustainable. All our teak furniture is inspected and comes with an SVLK certificate, confirming that the wood was legally harvested and can be sold in all EU countries.
