Key Considerations When Choosing Oil for Garden Furniture A. Water and UV ProtectionThis is why we recommend our teak oil for garden furniture and exterior wood, as both oils penetrate the wood and protect it from within. Rather than creating a surface coating that might wear off or become damaged.

Teak's natural oils don't need replacing: Many teak oils are solvent based and designed to replace the teak's lost natural oils. The thing is, these oils don't actually need replacing. The natural greying of teak is caused by the evaporation of oils near the surface, but the oils deeper in the wood are retained, which keep the teak strong and durable. A. Yes, our Teak Oil is excellent for woods both indoors and out, especially for use on garden furniture. Oiling can weaken the wood: If allowed to dry out, oiled teak can become brittle and less sturdy. This means that it won't last as long as if it had not been treated. Teak which is left to care for itself naturally lasts for many years, but applying treatments to it can shorten that lifespan dramatically. Specification: Protects and nourishes the wood: yes , Can use this on: outdoor furniture rather than indoors (especially suitable for hardwoods) , Volume: ‎‎0.5LWooden garden furniture looks great when new but can, within a year or two and without maintenance, start to lose its natural colour, turning grey or silver as a result of weathering and UV exposure.

Teak naturally fades from a golden tan to a silver gray through oxidation. It will begin a few weeks after keeping your furniture outdoors. After a year it should pretty much be a gray color. Most furniture oils have a lifespan of one year, after when you’ll need to apply it again to avoid fading, rot and dryness.

There are 3 main types of garden furniture oil that can be used to treat outdoor wooden furniture. These include: Teak Oil This oil has a reputation for preserving the golden hue of teak for a long time.

Furniture Clinic Teak Oil We would suggest spraying your metal with a heavy-duty cleaner that is safe on metals, paints and most plastics. Such as a solvent designed to cut through dirt, grime and any tough grease that will build upon your furniture when it is sat outdoors over long periods.’ Restores colour – some people like the ashy, grey colour that teak becomes as it naturally ages. But if you’d prefer to retain some of the teak’s golden hue that it has when it first arrives in your garden, teak oil can help with this. Although the ageing process is natural to teak and is impossible to stop fully, regular and proper teak oil application will help to keep the honey-like colour in place for much longer and bring out the natural beauty of the wood. I may have been able to change some of your opinions and gotten you interested in using a teak sealer rather than an oil to treat your teak wood furniture. But some of you may still want to use an oil due to your own preference. Teak oils do make teak furniture look fantastic when initially applied. So if you are prepared for the more frequent applications, that is your choice.
