RECLAIMED TEAK

Reclaimed teak is timber that’s already been used. In most cases it’s wood that’s been recovered from neglected old buildings which have to be demolished. Reclaimed teak timbers come in all manner of shapes and sizes; each has a special history and story to tell. We love these stories - instead of words and sentences, they’re told through old joints, dents and imperfections.

Visually this salvaged teak has much more ‘soul’ than plantation teak - unlike new wood it has a beautiful mature grain and colour, achieved through natural seasoning for almost 100 years. As it’s already done its ageing, it’s incredibly stable and durable, and its natural oils make it very dense and strong. It’s perfect for making furniture that will last and last.

                                                                           

 MAINTENANCE

Teak does not require any special maintenance routine. Left outside, the exposed surfaces of the furniture will become a soft silvery grey in color. Weather will cause some surface erosion leading to slight surface roughness, possible mildew and checking. Checking is a natural process that occurs when teak develops small cracks in the end grain. However, this does not affect the durability of teak furniture.
