TEA

K

As teak is a natural material, it can exhibit variations in both colou

r

and texture from piece to piece. The teak used in both the Ville and

RFH collections is untreated and therefore will develop a silver-gre

y

patina over time. This hardwood possesses natural oils and tigh

t

grain patterns that are resistant to rot and decay, making it an ideal

choice for outdoor furniture.

CARE & CLEANIN

G

To clean both treated and untreated teak, begin by brushing or

dusting off any debris with a soft, dry cloth. Next, wipe the surfac

e

using another soft cloth or sponge wrung in a mild cleaning solution

.

Ensure no soapy residue remains on the teak before leaving to dr

y

naturally or wiping down.

Untreated teak will age gracefully over time, fading in colour to a

silver grey when left among the natural elements. However, if you

wish to preserve or enhance the original colour of the teak, simpl

y

apply a suitable furniture oil regularly. It is also possible to sand the

wood to restore its original colour if desired. Exposure to the el

-

ements may cause minor cracks and veins to rise in the products,

but this will not affect overall design or durability. During winter w

e

recommend storing your furniture in an unheated shelter and to

protect it from water exposure to prevent discolouration

.

All teak used in our outdoor collections is FSC

®

certi

fied and has been harvested with consideratio

n

towards fragile forest ecosystems and local communi-

ties, supporting responsible environmental, social and

economical management of the world’s forests
