Teak is a very elastic wood type with a high natural content of oil, which makes it extremely durable and weather resistant. It is resistant to fungi which is a primary reason why teak is so optimal for outdoor furniture.
Teak is an exotic wood type and grows naturally in tropical climates. It can grow up to 40 metres tall and with a diameter of 1.2 metres. All sourced teak is FSC-certified (FSC- C135991) of the highest quality and comes from responsible suppliers.
Untreated, teak has a flaming, golden-brown shade and a lively look with dark stripes that follow the growth rings. For each log, teak can vary dramatically in colour and growth rings.
Untreated teak has a flaming, golden-brown colour and can last for decades due to its natural content of oil, whereas oil-treated teak has a warm reddish-brown colour with a golden shade. With time, teak will patinate and develop a silver-grey shade unless treated with oil regularly.
At Studio CHS, we have standard surface treatment options but can also customize to fit individual needs.
Sourcing, treating, and manufacturing the wood is all done in the Studio CHS factory which gives full control of the quality inspection as well as the flow of raw materials and components from forest to sawmill to manufacturing. This allows us to monitor lead times from the uncut log to the final beautiful piece.
