Why teak stands up to the weather
Teak (Tectona grandis) is a dense tropical timber rich in natural oils and silica. Those oils repel water and protect it from rot and insects, so it can stay outside all year with no varnish or treatment.
In sun and rain, untreated teak turns within a few months from honey to a silver-grey patina. It is a change of colour, not decay: the timber stays just as sound.
Teak, aluminium, resin or synthetic rattan
The materials most often used on hospitality terraces, compared:
- Teak: the longest-lasting outdoor timber, does not rust and ages to a grey patina. It weighs and costs more than the others.
- Aluminium: light and rust-free, but it gets hot in the sun and its finish can scratch.
- Resin or polypropylene: affordable and easy to clean, though sun can fade it and make it lose stiffness.
- Synthetic rattan: water-resistant and comfortable, usually woven over aluminium. We weave it into seats and backs on teak frames.
For a hotel terrace, used every day and expected to look good for years, teak is the option that ages best.
Outdoor dining for terraces
We make outdoor dining sets, chairs, armchairs, dining tables and café tables in teak, with seats in timber or synthetic weave. Sizes are adjusted to the terrace and the number of covers, and the indoor dining room can carry the same collection.
Caring for teak outdoors
- Cleaning: warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, two or three times a year.
- To keep the honey tone, apply teak oil to clean, dry timber once or twice a year.
- If you prefer the grey patina, it needs no treatment at all.
- Do not varnish it: varnish cracks in the sun and has to be sanded off.
- It can stay out in winter; store the cushions or protect them with a breathable cover.
Frequently asked questions
Can teak get wet?
Yes. Its natural oils repel water, so teak can stay outdoors all year without rotting. Rain and sun give it a silver-grey patina, which is only a change of colour.
What are the downsides of teak?
It costs more than aluminium or resin, it is heavier and, left untreated, it turns silver grey over time. In return, it lasts decades with very little upkeep.
Does teak need oiling?
No. Oil only keeps the original honey tone; without it, teak turns grey but keeps its strength. If you do oil it, apply it to clean, dry timber once or twice a year.
Can teak be varnished?
We do not recommend it outdoors. Teak's oils stop varnish from bonding well, and in the sun it ends up cracking and peeling. It is better left natural or treated with teak oil.
Which outdoor furniture does not rust?
Furniture in teak, resin or aluminium. Iron and steel rust unless they are properly treated. For hospitality, teak combines weather resistance with looks that improve over the years.
Which is better outdoors, oak or teak?
Teak. Oak is a hard, handsome timber, but untreated it soaks up water and cracks outdoors; teak, thanks to its natural oils, stands up to the weather without varnish.
