Used in residences of the rich and powerful as early as the 7th century, teak made its way to Europe by way of the Dutch traders who colonized Indonesia and were ultimately responsible for establishing the earliest teak plantations. Teak is an extremely dense tropical timber with unique properties. It has naturally high levels of oil and silica, locked right into the tight grain of the wood. When dried to a proper moisture level content, teak maintains its structural integrity, and resists deterioration caused by weather conditions or other enemies like mold and insects. All teak is not the same. New teak has a natural honey golden color. Left untreated outdoors, exposed to sunlight air and moisture, the honey color will soften to a light grey and after several years to a silvery patina. HiTeak timber has been carefully sourced globally only from plantation-grown trees. We look for trees over 30 years old and cut our components from the heart of the tree. Our teak is carefully kiln-dried to less than 10%. This eliminates shrinkage that might affect the structural integrity of the furniture. Traditional joinery is used including dowels and mortise and tenon joints. All our hardware is marine-grade stainless steel. Our furniture has been hand sanded on all sides and the fit is carefully checked before it is packaged.
