Teak garden furniture UK makes more sense financially than any other common garden furniture built from more fragile materials. Teak outdoor furniture is built from a wood that is especially good at standing up to all that the elements may have to throw at it. Your teak garden furniture UK will last longer and look better, simply because nature created the wood to be self sustaining.

Teak garden furniture UK needs very little maintenance, and as a matter of fact you will damage your teak outdoor furniture if you apply oils to the wood. I know that for most woods you are told to apply oils to keep the wood supple, but the wood in teak outdoor furniture contains oils that are just below the beautiful surface. As the wood needs it, oils are lifted up to the exterior portion, therefore maintaining the high quality of the piece for many years.

You can put a sealer on teak outdoor furniture so that it retains its beautiful honey colouring for longer and does not weather into the silvery grey that the aged pieces tend to take on. You must apply the sealer that is specifically designed specifically for teak outdoor furniture and not varnishes or sealers designed for other woods. The sealers designed for use on other woods will seal off the pores of the wood so that they cannot breathe or absorb any moisture, but remember that teak provides its own oils from these pores and if you completely seal them, you will cause the oils to boil up and blister the sealer. When this happens you will have a hard time stripping all of the old sealer from the furnishings.

Teak garden furniture UK will weather and begin to appear grey in colour after a while. You can easily cleanse the pieces and make the wood lose the silvery grey colouring by simply using cleaners made especially for this purpose. You must do this cleaning outside in a well ventilated area because the cleanser contains caustic soda and phosphorous acid.

There is no reason to discard your teak outdoor furniture because it weathers, or even because the varnish starts to bubble and peel. By following a few simple instructions you will find your teak outdoor furniture restored to its former glory.
