Teak chairs are an extremely strong outdoor furniture option that can withstand a variety of weather conditions. Teak (Tectona grandis) is a type of hardwood that comes from the teak tree, which thrives in tropical regions such as Indonesia; these qualities make teak chairs a valuable investment for your outdoor space.
Extraordinary Durability and Strength: Teak wood is known for its extremely high grain density and superior structural strength. This makes it extremely sturdy, resistant to impact, and resistant to cracking or warping, even after years of outdoor use. This density also makes teak chairs shockproof and even fireproof.
Weather Resistance: One of the main advantages of teak for outdoor use is the high content of natural oils and rubbers in the wood. These natural oils act as a protectant, making teak resistant to water, humidity, mold, rot, and insect attack (especially termites). This allows teak chairs to withstand exposure to sunlight, rain, and wind without experiencing significant damage.
Perhutani Teak: Known to be the most durable and strong with very dense wood grain and vibrant 3D colors. Its quality is high due to strict selection and contains natural oils.
Golden Teak: Grows faster and is easier to shape, with a relatively more affordable price.
People’s Teak: Its quality is below gold and perhutani teak, with a more crooked trunk and dense pores.
