All of our teak products are produced from the highest quality plantation grade teak and they will last for years giving many years of reliable service. None of these cosmetic changes affect the durability of the wood itself and teak is extremely hardwearing and long lasting. A perfectly valid recommendation for caring for teak is to do nothing, it will not split or age or warp and nothing that preserves the appearance of teak is necessary to protect it. Rarely does it require cleaning and you can choose to let it grow silver with the elements. These are characteristically stylish with unique personality in each piece.
