Robust Teak
Teak is a hardwood which contains a high amount of oil and resin, making the wood naturally water-repellent and therefore suitable for outdoor use. Teak wood is very strong and does not easily damage.
LIFE teak products are all 100% sustainably certified. They work mainly with Indonesian SVLK teak, but also work with FSC certified teak. This means that the full process in manufacturing is registered and monitored.
Normal use of the product will result in small cracks (hairline cracks) and openings appearing in the wood. This does not detract from the quality or the lifespan of the teak, and is characteristic of the charm of this product.
We advise against using a protective cover for teak furniture as this can lead to the growth of fungi.
Teak Cleaning
Before using any maintenance product on teak, the surface needs to be clean and dry. We discourage the use of any aggressive detergents or pressure cleaners. If you wish to use a different cleaner, always test the effect of this in a hidden spot. Teak maintenance products may cause staining of other materials so it's advised to cover workspace floors, patios, or chairs, cushions etc.
LIFE Outdoor Living Teak Cleaner can be used for intensive cleaning of weathered teak, and will kill fungi and algae within the teak wood. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle and the colour of new teak will be restored. It is important when treating teak that you work along the direction of the grain for the best results.
Teak Maintenance
When the surface of the wood starts to feel rough it is time to treat your teak with LIFE Robust Teak Protector. A thin layer should be applied and left to soak into the wood. If too much is used, the colour will run off the surface and could stain chairs, patios etc. Once dry, treat with LIFE Teak Shield to repel moisture and protect against mould and mildew.
Because it takes some time and effort to clean teak, we recommend using LIFE Teak Shield at least 2-3 times a year.
During the teak manufacturing process LIFE Teak Shield is applied. To account for the time taken for shipping and purchase, we suggest that the LIFE Teak Shield is reapplied directly after purchase.
