A Frontgate exclusive.
Teak Construction:
Frontgate teak furniture is built of premium, natural teak.
Teak is a durable, dense, coarse, close-grained hardwood. It contains high levels of resinous oils that make it naturally resistant to moisture, repellent to insects and impervious to drying. Teak also contains silica, a sand-like component that makes it resistant to fungal decay, water, rotting, warping, shrinking and swelling. Teak is extremely durable and ideal for outdoor patio furniture.
If left untreated, teak will develop a lovely silver-gray patina over time that some people desire. This process occurs as surface pigments start to fade (which does not affect the durability or strength of the wood). Treated teak will retain its natural golden color longer but will require periodic reapplication of teak oil. In either case, periodic cleaning may be necessary to remove stains and surface mildew.
Cleaning Teak Furniture:
Teak requires little maintenance or care. Although it is naturally resistant to decay, mildew can form on the surface, especially when used outside for long periods of time. Surface mildew does not affect the durability or longevity of the wood and can be easily washed off.
To clean the surface, either spray the furniture with water from a garden hose or apply a mild washing solution and scrub the surface with a soft-bristle brush.
- Always begin with a mild – or more diluted – cleaning solution (see below). If that does not work, try a stronger concentration or a store-bought teak cleaner.
- Homemade Teak Cleaning Solution:
- 1 cup chlorine bleach
- 1 cup laundry detergent
- 1 gallon warm water
- Either apply the above cleaning solution using a brush with soft, plastic bristles (metal bristles will scratch the surface) or apply the store-bought cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Allow the cleaning solution to sit on the furniture for approximately 15 minutes.
- Thoroughly rinse the cleaning solution with clean water (spray it with a garden hose).
To remove stains, either lightly sand the affected areas with a fine-grit sandpaper until the stain disappears or clean with a store-bought teak cleaner.
Oiling/Sealing Teak Furniture:
Treating teak with oil or teak sealer helps to retain and enhance teak’s natural golden honey color. It does not affect its strength or longevity. Teak that remains outside for extended periods of time will require re-oiling or re-sealing approximately every 2 to 3 months and should be kept out of direct sunlight.
Tung oil is recommended by professionals, but linseed oil and store-bought teak oil can also be used. (If using a commercial teak sealer, follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
- Before treating, clean all teak surfaces and allow to completely dry
- Use a paint brush to apply oil in even strokes until it is completely soaked into the wood.
- Wait 15 minutes to allow oil to soak in.
- Wipe away excess oil using a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.
- Oil dripped on other surfaces should be immediately cleaned off to avoid stains.
- Wait until the surface is completely dry (oiled teak will initially have a matte finish and should not have any shiny areas).
- Buff the surface with a soft, clean, dry rag.
Storing Teak Furniture:
When not in use, we recommend using furniture covers, storing the furniture indoors or placing the furniture in a watertight shed or garage. If storing teak furniture in a heated indoor room, avoid moving it immediately into a cold outdoor area as the sharp differences in temperature and humidity may cause the wood to split.

Coffee is a beverage brewed from roasted, ground coffee beans. Darkly colored, bitter, and slightly acidic, coffee has a stimulating effect on humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. It has the highest sales in the world market for hot drinks.
Coffee production begins when the seeds of the Coffea plant's fruits (coffee cherries) are separated to produce unroasted green coffee beans. The beans are roasted and then ground into fine particles. Coffee is brewed from the ground roasted beans, which are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out. It is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. Coffee can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, French press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). Sugar, sugar substitutes, milk, and cream are often added to mask the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. There are also various coffee substitutes.
Though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the Red Sea. The earliest credible evidence of coffee drinking as the modern beverage appears in modern-day Yemen in southern Arabia in the middle of the 15th century in Sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to how it is now prepared for drinking. The coffee beans were procured by the Yemenis from the Ethiopian Highlands via coastal Somali intermediaries, and cultivated in Yemen. By the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the Middle East and North Africa, later spreading to Europe.
The two most commonly grown coffee bean types are C. arabica and C. robusta. Coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa. Green, unroasted coffee is traded as an agricultural commodity. The global coffee industry is massive and worth $495.50 billion as of 2023. In the same year, Brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world's total, followed by Vietnam and Colombia. While coffee sales reach billions of dollars annually worldwide, coffee farmers disproportionately live in poverty. Critics of the coffee industry have also pointed to its negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use.

Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs (perfect flowers). The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and various small projects.
Tectona grandis is native to south and southeast Asia, mainly Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, but is naturalised and cultivated in many countries in Africa and the Caribbean. Myanmar's teak forests account for nearly half of the world's naturally occurring teak. Molecular studies show that there are two centres of the genetic origin of teak: one in India and the other in Myanmar and Laos.
