Why we Choose Teak for All of Our Products
27th Jul 2016
With more than 100,000 different tree species in the world, you have to wonder why we would choose to use teak, and only teak, to create our furniture and storage pieces? What is so special about teak that it causes us to focus completely on its properties and shun all other woods?
Because our total focus is aimed at creating only the best teak shower benches, bath stools and indoor and outdoor furniture, we knew that only teak would do.
The properties of teak wood make it the overwhelming choice for wood furniture. Mass manufacturers and craftsmen alike agree that its durability and beauty aspects are hard to beat. Many consider teak to be the "gold standard" when it comes to decay resistance noting that teak is also resistant to termites.
Teak's heartwood grows in tones from golden to medium brown which darkens and becomes more rich with age. Its grain is generally straight with distinct growth rings which give finished products a tight grain pattern that spotlights its beautiful tone. For woodworkers, teak is easy to work with and because of worldwide plantation growth, it is fairly accessible. Because of its durability and desirability however, it does remain fairly expensive to cultivate. The extra cost is thoroughly worth it however because teak furniture will hold its beauty and functionality for decades.
At AquaTeak, we choose the highly-valued wood as the base for all of our furniture and accessories, including our teak shower benches, teak bath stools and teak furniture. We back all of our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, expecting that you'll be as thrilled with the long-lasting beauty of your teak products as we are.
