Characteristics of Teak
Teak furniture is an excellent choice for outdoor living and with regular maintenance will provide years of loyal service. PNZ offers an array of Golden Care products for protecting and retaining Natural teak as well as touch-up kits designed to match our teak finishes.
Natural Teak – Our Natural finish highlights the beauty and grain of solid teak. Due to natural variations in the wood, each product and finish may vary slightly. When exposed to sun and rain, the color of Natural teak will soften to a handsome silvery-grey shade depending on the amount of sun exposure.
Newly purchased Natural teak will experience oil surfacing. These areas, which look like a water mark, can be removed by gentle washing. Fabric cushions stained by the natural surfacing of teak oil can be cleaned with OxiClean™ or Simple Green and a soft brush or a power washing of 1200-1400 PSI.
Finished Teak – Our finished teak is created using a wire brush with a pigment-based finish. Imperfections such as hairline cracks may develop over time. If left uncovered, the finish will fade and wear through, exposing unfinished teak to the elements. Exposed teak will begin to acquire the beautiful silvery-grey patina that is typical of untreated teak. We recommend that these pieces be protected from incremental weather by our furniture covers.
