Teak is a dense wood with a warm colour and a high oil content that acts as a natural protection against the elements. If left untreated it will take on a fine grey patina.
Care Teak does not rot as it is a dense wood with a high oil content. Therefore, it does not need to be painted and it is well suited to outdoor use.
Furthermore, teak is a supple wood making it able to tolerate different climates and adapt to different terrains.
