What is so special about teak?
Teak is a deciduous hardwood tree native to the highlands of east India through Burma (Myanmar), it is not native to tropical rainforests. Teakwood is extremely durable with a naturally high oil and silica content, which makes it both stable in climatic extremes and resistant to rotting and insects. For many years teak has been the choice of boat builders for its long-lived durability in the most severe conditions. For these reasons teak is considered the premium natural material by producers and users of fine outdoor furniture.
