Question: Where Does Teak Wood Come From?
Answer: Teak wood comes from the beautiful teak trees of the rainforests of Asia. Because the trees have to survive through such a wet, tropical climate, teak has natural water-resistant and termite-resistant properties. This makes teak the perfect wood for use in boats, outside construction, and of course, furniture! Teak is becoming very high in demand, and as such, teak trees are being grown on large plantations. We are proud to say that we support sustainable teak tree plantations, and offer a wide selection of eco-friendly teak furniture!
Question: What Are the Benefits of Teak Wood?
Answer: There are many benefits to constructing furniture with teak wood! To name a few, teak is...
Durable: Teak is a tropical hardwood, known for being dense and durable. Originating in the rainforests of Asia, teak wood is naturally water-resistant, termite-resistant, and rot-resistant. Teak wood contains a chemical called silica, which makes teak one of the hardest, most durable woods around!
Water-resistant: Because teak comes from the tropics, teak wood contains natural properties that make it water-resistant. This means that teak can get wet, and you never have to worry about it rotting or becoming warped! Of course, this makes it the perfect wood to use for shower seats -- we can't get enough of it!
Versatile: Being naturally water-resistant and naturally durable, teak wood is also naturally-versatile! With it's beautiful, rich color and texture, teak makes a beautiful addition to any space. And because it won't get ruined by moisture, it can be used both inside the home, or out in the garden or by the pool! That's why in addition to shower benches, we offer teak seating and teak storage for any part of your home, inside or out.
