This Teak furniture
is delivered unfinished, allowing you to finish it to your preference.
Oil or Polyurethane can be applied to hide blemishes and make the finish
more attractive. Applying Teak Oil will delay the onset of weathering
and the naturally occuring UV Light Bleaching as long as the oil or
finish is effective. Oil must be reapplied after 6-12 months to preserve
the color.
Teak wood may be left unfinished. It will then
weather to a gorgeous silver-gray. The weathering process is gradual and
takes between 3-12 months, depending on the level of sunlight it is
exposed to. When exposed to moisture (rain, high humidity, etc.), its
grain will slightly lift. This natural process expands and contracts the
wood during wet and dry cycles. Weathering WILL NOT impact its strength
or durability. The Teak will return to it's smooth feel after the
initial weathering process. Teak furniture does not require treatment to
protect the wood.
It is possible and quite simple to restore
the original color of sun bleached Teak. Chemical applications or a
light sanding will easily restore the wood to its natural beauty.
Sanding Teak lightly will remove the top bleached layer. To prevent
further bleaching, be sure to apply Teak Oil or finish shortly after
sanding. Teak Cleaners are readily available online or at your local
home improvement stores. Teak Cleaners are caustic and remove a fine
layer of the wood to raise the grain slightly. Make sure the cleaner is
completely rinsed away and the wood has dried thoroughly before applying
any kind of oil or finish.
Regal Teak furniture comes with a 5 Year Residential Limited Warranty and a 1 Year Commercial Limited Warranty.
