Why does new teak furniture sometimes have wild dark or orange stripes?
These markings are perfectly normal and will disappear within a few days, following exposure to the UV spectrum in natural sunlight. These marks are commonly found following the kilning process, which is used to lower the moisture content of the timber prior to manufacture. This process minimizes the incidence of small cracks appearing in the furniture due to the changes in temperature and humidity that it encounters in an outdoor environment.
