Take care not to place your furniture in close proximity to any source of heat. We recommend at least  two feet of distance between your furniture and any heat source to prevent excessive drying. In general,  fluctuations in temperature and moisture may result in movement of natural materials used. Proper care  and maintenance will prolong the life of your finish. 

Weathering conditions such as sun, rain, wind, pollution, freezing cold, salt water and a host of other  conditions will degrade the finish over time. These elements of nature combined with other factors such  as abrasion may cause wear, damage or corrosion of the top coating and underlying primer. This will  shorten the aesthetic and protective value of the finish.

In the absence of regular maintenance, the high quality of our teak turns to a lustrous silvery-gray patina  when left in its natural state, which is often preferable. To promote the weathering process, wash the teak  regularly, especially during its first few months outside. Do so on a sunny day if possible, and use a mild liquid detergent mixed with a teaspoon of bleach in a gallon of water. The bleach will accelerate the  weathering effect of the sun. After the soap/bleach wash, rinse the furniture thoroughly with clean water  and let it dry. As the teak begins to weather, the grain begins to lift. You may want to lightly sand the fine  “hairs” which rise when the teak begins to weather. The silvery-gray patina will evolve at a different pace  depending on its environment. Wind, salt, spray and sun will always weather teak more quickly.
