When considering outdoor furniture; teak is hailed the best of the best and we can’t disagree. Teak wood has certainly earnt its title of being the preferred wood for outdoor furniture. We discuss the benefits of a teak daybed for outdoor lounging in more detail below including its longevity and durability.
Did you know a teak daybed for outdoor lounging is extremely durable and strong. A teak daybed can last many years. Invest in a high quality teak daybed and it will last for generations regardless of the climate. Why? Teak wood contains high oil content which leaves it impervious to pests and weather. It is almost immune to going mouldy or rotting.
Easy to maintain – it requires no additional treatments to extend its life span. Teak furniture will start a golden colour and will fade to a silvery patina when left outdoor for an extended period of time. The length of time this will take will vary dependent on the level of sun exposure and the environment in which it is in.
A simple wash with soapy water will quickly remove any surface dust. Or to maintain the golden brown, simply buff the whole surface with teak oil upon purchasing the furniture.
It does not matter how old the teak wood is, it will quickly return back to its original golden colour when it’s turned into weathered gray (silvery patina). You just need to use fine sandpaper to sand off the weathered surface, then wash away the dust with mild soap and cleanse with water, let it air dry.
Teak wood is self-regulating. It will stay cool in the summer months and warm in the colder months. An excellent alternative to other materials such as metal which can get extremely hot in the summer and icy cold in the winter months.
Think of your outdoor lounge space as you would your indoor lounge space. Consider the two spaces together so they flow from one to the other seamlessly. Pull colours you use inside to your outside space. It can be simple but very effective.
A teak day bed for outdoor lounging is extremely comfortable and stylish. A few scatter cushions are recommended it you want a softer finish. It will create an alluring space to entertain or relax. Even your dog will love to lounge on a spacious daybed, enjoying the outdoor breeze.
