One of
the most important benefits of shorea wood is its
resistance to rot and bug damage. With little or
no maintenance, shorea will last many years
outdoors.
Shorea has a remarkable ability
to withstand the effects of wind, rain, sun and
snow. Left untreated, shorea will weather
naturally to a warm shade of gray.
During
wet weather, some surface roughness may develop
but over a period of about one year the natural
weathering process will stabilize. Some hairline
cracks may appear but these are only on the
surface and in no way effect the structural
integrity of the furniture. We believe this is the
best way to “maintain ” your bench. Sit back,
enjoy the scenery, and do nothing at all. Let
nature take its course by turning your bench into
a beautiful rich work of art.
 If you prefer to maintain the beautiful
rich tonalities of the natural wood in its newly
arrived condition apply a coat of teak
oil upon
receiving your new bench.
If the effects
of weather have already weathered your bench into
a natural grey, and you would like to restore it
to its original “new” condition, first apply a
coat of teak cleaner, followed by a coat of teak
brightener. This restores the wood by removing the
grey. To maintain the color of the wood and to
give it a richer, darker patina, apply a coat of
teak oil.
We highly recommend the use of Starbrite® cleaning
products. | | | | |
