THE beauty of premium plantation teak outdoor furniture is more than just its looks – its longevity is also a key part of the attraction.
Teak Living’s Craig Robotham is an unabashed fan of the hard-wearing beautiful wood, establishing his business in Grovedale two years ago and recently moving to a new South Geelong showroom.
Ask Craig about the benefits of teak and he becomes a wealth of knowledge.
“Teak is the premium wood for outdoor furniture because it is so dense water does not penetrate, so it doesn’t rot or splinter if left outside in the elements,” Craig says.
“Instead it turns a silver grey colour as it weathers and does not need any maintenance.
“However if you prefer to maintain the original wood colour you can oil it with an outside furniture oil.”
It’s that long-lasting beauty that allows homeowners to create a beautiful backyard, patio or pool deck space with quality furniture that enhances their lifestyle.
Teak Living has a range of traditional teak wood pieces as well as more contemporary looks, mixing teak and stainless steel.
There are also pieces made from reclaimed teak which has been re-milled and turned into a beautiful rustic look.
Teak Living has partnered with the most respected teak manufacturers in Indonesia, with all product Forest Stewardship Council certified, plantation grown and ecologically harvested.
“We are extremely proud of the relationships we are building with individual customers, designers, architects, landscapers and commercial institutions throughout the country.”
Teak Living is at 112 Fyans Street South Geelong, phone 5221 4081.
