About Our Teak
As a company we are committed to the principles of bio-diversity and sustainable development and as such manufacture our products using only environmentally sound teak .
Please see below for further details.
Our teak is sourced from the sustainable plantations of Perum Perhutani, on the island of Java. These plantations are owned and managed by the government who have a strict policy with regard to the age, size and number of trees felled each year, together with a comprehensive sustainable replanting program.
Teak, Tectona grandis, is a dense, close-grained hardwood high in natural oils and rubber. These characteristics give teak strength and durability, making it virtually impervious to the effects of rain, salt, sun or snow and hence very resistant to rotting.
We produce furniture with many finishes, from teak-oil to lacquer or from fine sanded to distressed. Simply let us know your requirements - you shall not be disappointed.
Yes, the properties of teak enable it to withstand the most inclement of weather - hence its use as decking on ships. However, it will get dirtier than furniture enjoyed during the spring and summer only. For storage we recommend an outhouse, garage or garden shed. However, please ensure that there is not a dramatic change in the heat and humidity as this can cause your furniture to crack.
Left untreated and exposed to the elements, teak will weather to a beautiful silver grey patina and darken slightly if kept indoors. Should you wish to maintain its colour, we would recommend applying our teak sealer, which will help your teak furniture maintain its colour for a much longer period.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organisation founded in 1993 to support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests. The FSC trademark on a product indicates that the wood used in its construction comes from a source that has been certified by the FSC as meeting these standards. Click here for the FSC Website.
Cyan is committed to the principles of the FSC and when possible use FSC certified teak in our furniture. However, currently there is not enough FSC certified teak available for our total production.
Teak is a natural material and fine cracks can appear especially on heavier components and the end grain. This minor checking may appear or disappear depending on the relative humidity and weather conditions. This is a natural process and will not affect the strength or structural integrity of your furniture.
Where required, all of our furniture is constructed in the time-honoured fashion of tight fitting mortise and tenon joints with teak dowels. This ensures robust, wobble-free furniture equally at home in your garden, or the high traffic areas of luxury hotels. Ours is the specifier's choice!
