How Teak Furniture Outsmarts the Great British Weather
Rain on Monday, sunshine on Tuesday, frost by Friday – sound familiar? The Great British weather has a knack for keeping us on our toes. Planning anything outdoors often feels like a gamble, and your garden furniture bears the brunt of it all.
That’s why choosing the right material matters – and our teak wood outdoor furniture here at Royal Finesse doesn’t just endure our unpredictable climate; it thrives in it. Here’s how our teak outsmarts whatever the British weather throws our way.
1. Resists rain and damp with natural oils
In a country where drizzle is practically a year-round feature, moisture resistance is essential. Teak is rich in natural oils, which act as a built-in defence against rain, damp, and mildew. These oils stop the wood from absorbing water, which means no swelling, rotting, or warping, no matter how many April showers or soggy weekends come your way.
2. Withstands cold snaps and winter frost
British winters may not be Arctic, but the damp chill and freezing overnight temperatures are no friend to traditional timber. The dense grain and robust structure of teak mean it won’t split or splinter when the temperature dips.
That’s why so many of our customers leave their teak garden furniture sets outside all year round, with no panic buying or bulky storage required.
3. Handles harsh UV rays with grace
We may not get many blazing hot days, but when the sun does come out, it can be surprisingly intense. Teak furniture naturally resists the bleaching and brittleness that often plague synthetic materials. Instead, it gracefully weathers to a silvery grey, adding charm and character without losing any strength.
Furniture pieces like our teak outdoor chairs retain their integrity season after season, come shine or sudden heatwave.
4. Performs without protective covers
Let’s be honest – most of us don’t have the time (or inclination) to cover and uncover furniture every time the forecast shifts. The beauty of teak is that you don’t have to. It’s weatherproof nature means it can live outdoors, uncovered, all year long.
If you spot a piece you love in our ex display clearance garden furniture sale, you can rest easy knowing it’s built to last, not just to look good.
5. Long-term investment that outlasts the weather
Teak isn’t just a quick fix – it's a smart, lasting investment. While cheaper options may need replacing every few seasons, teak lasts for decades with minimal care. And when sourced responsibly like our SVLK-certified collections, it’s a sustainable choice too.
Whether you buy brand new or through our clearance sale, you’re getting exceptional value and enduring beauty.
