Teak furniture is crafted from one of the world’s most durable hardwoods, valued for its density, natural oil content and long-term outdoor performance. These natural oils help protect the timber from moisture absorption, warping and environmental stress.

In Australian conditions, this density and oil concentration are particularly important, helping the timber remain stable during prolonged UV exposure and seasonal weather changes.

Grade A teak is sourced from the dense inner heartwood of mature trees. This section of the timber contains the highest concentration of natural oils, which provide stability, durability and natural resistance to outdoor exposure.

We use only responsibly sourced Grade A teak across our collections to ensure long-term structural performance in Australian conditions.

Grade A teak is taken from mature inner heartwood and contains the highest natural oil concentration. In high-UV environments, this oil content plays a critical role in reducing excessive drying and surface instability.

Grade B teak comes from the outer heartwood and contains lower oil levels.

Grade C teak is sapwood, lighter in colour and significantly less durable for exterior use.

We manufacture exclusively using Grade A teak to ensure structural integrity and longevity.

Our teak furniture is manufactured at source in Indonesia, where the timber is grown, harvested and processed.

Producing at source allows strict control over timber grading, kiln drying and joinery construction. Every piece is inspected before export to ensure consistent quality and durability.

Yes. Our teak is legally harvested from regulated Indonesian plantations operating under government-controlled forestry programmes, including SVLK certification standards.

We prioritise responsible sourcing to ensure traceability, environmental protection and long-term forestry sustainability.

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 the teak used in our furniture is FLEGT licensed. This guarantees it has been harvested, processed and exported in full compliance with national forestry laws.

Indonesia is the first timber-exporting country to implement a mandatory legal verification system for timber exports. The FLEGT licence forms part of this regulatory framework, helping suppress illegal logging and ensuring only legally produced timber enters international markets.

For our customers, this provides clear assurance of legal sourcing, supply chain transparency and responsible forestry management.

Due to long-distance shipping and changes in climate between regions, you may occasionally notice a light surface bloom or mild mould on your teak furniture when it arrives in Australia.

We include moisture-absorbing materials in our packaging to minimise this. However, variations in temperature and humidity during transit can sometimes cause this temporary surface condition.

There’s no need for concern — this is purely cosmetic and does not affect the durability or performance of your furniture. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or warm soapy water. Once cleaned and exposed to fresh air, the teak will return to its natural appearance.

Yes. Grade A teak performs exceptionally well in Australian conditions, including strong UV exposure, high summer temperatures and coastal environments.

Its dense grain and natural oil content help stabilise the timber during prolonged sun exposure while limiting moisture absorption during storms. This makes it well suited to year-round outdoor living across most Australian regions.

In areas with high UV, teak will gradually lighten and develop a silver-grey patina.

This change is cosmetic and occurs more quickly in full sun environments such as open patios or poolside settings. It does not weaken the timber or reduce its lifespan.

Teak does not require UV protection to remain structurally sound.

If you prefer to retain the original golden tone, a specialist teak protector can be applied periodically. Many customers choose to allow the timber to weather naturally, particularly in contemporary outdoor settings.

See our Teak Care Guide for product recommendations and application advice.

Yes. Teak is naturally suited to coastal environments due to its density and oil composition.

In areas exposed to salt air, occasional rinsing and light cleaning will help remove surface salt residue and maintain the finish.

All natural timber responds to temperature changes. However, Grade A teak’s density and oil content significantly reduce the risk of structural cracking in extreme heat.

Minor surface movement may occur during peak summer conditions, but this is cosmetic and does not affect strength or longevity.

Yes. Teak’s natural oil content makes it highly resistant to moisture absorption.

It performs well during heavy rainfall, storms and humid conditions. While surface moisture may darken the timber temporarily, it does not compromise strength or durability.

In Australia’s strong sun, teak naturally oxidises when exposed to UV light.

This process gradually transforms the surface from golden brown to silver-grey. Sun intensity accelerates this change more than rainfall, particularly in full-exposure settings.

Yes. Teak can remain untreated without affecting structural performance.

Many customers prefer to allow the timber to weather naturally, especially in modern outdoor designs. Treatment is optional and aesthetic rather than protective.

In humid or tropical regions, ensure airflow around the furniture and avoid prolonged moisture trapping.

A light wash with warm water and mild soap two to three times per year is typically sufficient, particularly in coastal or high-humidity environments.

High-quality Grade A teak furniture can last 20-30 years or more outdoors in Australia.

Longevity depends on timber grade, construction quality and basic care. Because our furniture is manufactured at source using premium heartwood and traditional joinery, it is designed to withstand intense sun, coastal exposure and year-round use.

No. Teak does not require oil to maintain durability. Oiling is purely aesthetic and only necessary if you wish to preserve the original colour.

Yes. Teak can remain untreated without affecting structural integrity. Many customers prefer to allow the timber to age naturally.

Black marks are typically surface mildew caused by moisture combined with limited airflow, particularly in shaded or humid environments.

This is not rot and does not indicate structural damage. It can be removed with warm soapy water or a specialist teak cleaner.

Use warm water, mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, cleaning along the grain.

Avoid pressure washers, as they can damage surface fibres.

In coastal regions, cleaning 2-3 times per year may help remove salt residue and environmental buildup.

Our cushions are shower-resistant but not fully waterproof. They can tolerate light rain but should not remain exposed during prolonged heavy rainfall.

During extended sun exposure, we recommend storing cushions when not in use to preserve fabric colour and longevity.

Cushions should be fully dried before storage.

Parasols should be removed during strong winds or when unattended. High winds may cause structural damage to both the parasol and table.

Many of our round dining tables are compatible with Lazy Susans. Please refer to individual product specifications within our dining collections.

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.
