Teak furniture is crafted from one of the most durable hardwoods available for outdoor use. Its dense grain and naturally high oil content provide resistance to moisture absorption, structural movement and long-term environmental exposure.
These characteristics make teak particularly suited to Europe’s varied climates, from northern frost to southern coastal heat.
Grade A teak is sourced from the dense inner heartwood of mature trees. This section contains the highest concentration of natural oils, delivering superior strength, durability and resistance to environmental stress.
We use exclusively Grade A teak to ensure long-term structural stability across European conditions.
Teak is graded based on where the timber is cut from within the tree, which directly affects durability and performance outdoors.
Grade A is sourced from the mature inner heartwood. It is dense, rich in natural oils and darker in tone. This higher oil concentration improves resistance to moisture and helps minimise movement during seasonal temperature changes.
Grade B is cut from the outer heartwood. It contains fewer natural oils and is lighter in colour, offering moderate durability.
Grade C is taken from the sapwood layer. It is pale, porous and not recommended for long-term exterior furniture use.
We use only Grade A teak to ensure strength, stability and long service life in European conditions.
Our teak furniture is manufactured at source in Indonesia, where the timber is grown, harvested and processed.
Producing at source allows strict control over grading, kiln drying and traditional joinery construction. Each piece is inspected prior to export to ensure consistent quality.

Yes. Our teak is sourced from legally regulated Indonesian plantations operating under SVLK certification standards.
FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) is an international licensing system designed to prevent illegal logging and ensure timber is legally harvested and exported.
All of our teak is FLEGT licensed, providing verified legal sourcing and supply chain transparency.
During transportation across Europe, fluctuations in temperature and humidity can occasionally cause a light surface bloom or mild mould to appear on teak furniture upon unpacking.
We use moisture-control measures within our packaging to reduce this risk. However, environmental conditions during transit can still result in this temporary effect.
This is only a surface-level occurrence and does not affect the structural integrity or longevity of the furniture. It can be easily cleaned using a damp cloth or warm soapy water. With exposure to fresh air, the teak will quickly return to its natural state.
Yes. Grade A teak performs well in freezing conditions and can remain outdoors during winter.
While surface moisture may freeze, the timber’s density and natural oils help limit deep moisture penetration. Minor surface movement may occur during freeze–thaw cycles, but this does not compromise structural integrity.
Yes. Teak is well suited to continental European climates where temperatures fluctuate between warm summers and sub-zero winters.
Its natural oil content helps stabilise the timber during seasonal expansion and contraction caused by temperature change.
Yes. Teak performs exceptionally well in Mediterranean regions exposed to strong sun, dry heat and coastal air.
In coastal settings, occasional cleaning will help remove surface salt residue and maintain the finish.
All natural timber responds to temperature changes. However, Grade A teak’s density significantly reduces the risk of structural cracking in cold conditions.
Small surface checks may appear over time as part of natural ageing. These are cosmetic and do not affect strength or longevity.
Teak’s natural oil content makes it highly resistant to moisture absorption.
It performs well in wet conditions, although surface darkening may temporarily occur after rainfall. This does not affect strength or longevity.
When exposed to sunlight and outdoor conditions, teak naturally oxidises and develops a silver-grey patina.
This is a cosmetic change and does not weaken the timber.
Yes. Teak can remain untreated without affecting structural performance.
Many customers prefer the natural silvered appearance. Treatment is optional and aesthetic rather than protective.
High-quality Grade A teak furniture can last 20-30 years or more outdoors.
Longevity depends on timber grade, construction quality and basic maintenance. Our use of premium heartwood and traditional joinery is designed to support long-term durability.
No. Oiling is not required for durability.
It is purely aesthetic if you wish to preserve the original golden tone rather than allow the timber to weather naturally.
Teak does not require winter covering to remain structurally sound.
However, in areas with prolonged snow accumulation or heavy debris, breathable covers may reduce surface cleaning in spring.
In most European climates, cleaning once or twice per year is sufficient.
In wetter regions, occasional additional cleaning may help prevent surface mildew or environmental buildup.
Use warm water, mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, cleaning along the grain. Avoid pressure washers.
For detailed guidance, see our Teak Care Guide.
Use warm water, mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, cleaning along the grain.
Avoid pressure washers, which may damage surface fibres.
Black marks are typically surface mildew caused by moisture combined with limited airflow.
This is not rot and does not indicate structural damage. It can be removed with warm soapy water or a specialist teak cleaner.

Our cushions are shower-resistant but not fully waterproof.
They can tolerate light rain but should not remain exposed during prolonged rainfall.
Cushions should be stored during extended wet periods and fully dried before storage.
Many of our dining tables are designed to accommodate parasols. Please refer to individual product specifications.
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.
