Benefits of Teak Memorial Benches

Teak Wood: A Timeless Choice for Memorial Benches

Teak, a tropical hardwood tree native to Southeast Asia, is renowned for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, golden colour, weather resistance and resistance to insects, teak is a premier choice for outdoor furniture, including memorial benches.

Teak is native only to Myanmar (Burma), Northern India and Northern Thailand where there is high altitude, thinner soils and less rainfall results in the trees growing slower and stronger.

Teak has however been grown as a crop in plantations all over the world, In Indonesia planted by the Dutch centuries ago and in South America by the Spanish and Portuguese. 

Exceptional Durability

Teak's exceptional durability stems from its natural oils, which repel water and protect the wood from moisture damage. This resilience allows teak to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, sunlight, and rainfall. Over time, untreated teak furniture develops a beautiful silvery patina, adding to its character and allure.

Staining and Preservation

Teak's natural oils provide inherent protection, making it virtually maintenance-free. However, for those who prefer to maintain its original golden colour, Golden Care Teak Protector can be applied to enhance its appearance and prolong its life.

We recommend Golden Care products for treating, sealing and cleaning teak. We do not recommend the use of teak oil as it can react with the environment and turn black.
