Teak has been highly valued worldwide throughout history. Native
to Southeast Asia, it dates back as early as 7th Century Siam
(now Thailand), where it was used to construct and decorate
royal residences, religious buildings, and trade ships. Other
cultures began using teak wood for shipbuilding in the Middle
Ages, and its buoyancy, water resistance, durability and
anti-fungal properties make it an ideal material for marine
construction to this day.
Due to teaks ability to resist warping and rotting it is ideal
for outdoor settings such as, decks, patios and gardens. But
that doesn't mean teak furniture will look out of place indoors.
It can also be a perfect compliment to a sitting room, sunroom,
etc.
Teak furniture styles are so numerous and varied, that finding
distinctively styled tables, chairs, and benches to compliment
your home should be a snap. Any way you slice it, teak furniture
is an affordable long term value whether it's use is for indoors
or out.
