TEAK
Teak (scientific name Tectona Grandis) is a premium hardwood, native to South East Asia, with a very high natural oil content, highly resistant to rotting, fungi, warping and water absorption, remaining durable even in an extreme climate.
Exposed to sunlight, the color of teak, will gradually change from honey brown to silver grey. This weathering does not affect the performance or quality of the timber. Various products are on the market to clean, protect or restore teak.
Mamagreen carefully controls the sources of its teak timber, avoiding any negative impact on the environment, where possible we use reclaimed or recycled teak from abandoned constructions.
Recycled teak has character : there are a lot of signs that these wood components had a previous function. There are holes where bolts were used, there are nail-holes, damages from hinges and other imperfections, that give recycled teak its unique look. We do not attempt to hide these characteristics, because we feel that each aesthetic imperfection in the wood adds to the exceptional feeling in the furniture.

Smooth sanded teak looks best with simple, regular cleaning. Especially if the furniture is placed under trees or used regularly for dining. Wash with a mild household soap and lukewarm water to avoid mildew, caused organically by dirt gathering in the grains and notches.
