When shopping for wood furniture, always make sure you are buying furniture made from 100% solid hardwood, and not furniture made from a combination of lesser quality wood that are not resistant to warping and splitting. In Gotic, you can rest assured that you are buying quality furniture made from 100% genuine plantation-grown solid Teakwood. Teak is a close grained hardwood with a high natural oil content. This makes it hard wearing, highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of sun and rain. These characteristics combined to make it an ideal timber for all outdoor applications. Testament to its strength and durability is the fact that, when English battleships were being scrapped after a lifetime of service, the teak from their decks was salvaged and re-made into garden benches! This immensely stable timber has a high oil and rubber content, which acts as an 'in-built' natural water repellent, making it virtually immune to rotting. Teak furniture does not require babying or covering during bad weather, thus you can theoretically leave it out in the open, and your furniture will still be at the same spot 80 years later! Many other hardwood are used for outdoor furniture and some are even marketed as 'teak substitutes'. This is a deception. There is no substitute for teak and no other hardwood will perform to the same standard. Unlike pine or cedar, teak can last for decades. Only the finest quality genuine plantation teak (Tectona Grandis) is selected for use in our products for durable and attractive indoor and outdoor furniture. Teak furniture weathers beautifully, season after season, and can be left untreated outside without the risk of rotting. Teak furniture is an investment that will last you a lifetime, while other types of outdoor furniture are rotting in the landfill! Don't make the mistake of trying to save money on cheaper furniture, as you will spend that money, time and time again over the course of your lifetime. Buy teak once and buy it for life!
