Teak
(Tectona grandis)
Teaktræ er meget modstandsdygtigt over for vind og vejr og forener førsteklasses kvalitet med et dynamisk udtryk.
Teaktræ er kernen i vores kollektion af havemøbler. Den eksotiske hårde træsort har et varmt farvespil med gyldenbrune toner og mørke striber, som følger træets vækstringe.
Teak er en meget elastisk træsort med en tæt struktur og et højt olieindhold, som gør, at det ubehandlede træ kan holde i årtier. Træsortens naturlige modstandsdygtighed over for svampe og fugt gør den oplagt til bådbygning, eksteriør og udendørsmøbler. Når træet først skæres ud, er teak grønligt med et lyserødt skær. Når træet tørrer i solen, absorberer det lyset og udvikler den flotte gyldne nuance.
Treatments tailored to every type
At Carl Hansen & Søn, we believe in minimal finishes that best showcase the unique qualities of each wood type. Because teak is naturally waterproof, our outdoor furniture collection remains untreated; over the years, it will acquire a silvery-grey colour as it patinates. Our indoor teak pieces are surface-treated with oil to produce a reddish-brown tone that patinates beautifully into an even colour with a warm glow.
Information about teak
Qualities in furniture production
Teak is a highly elastic wood with a high oil content, which makes it extremely weather-resistant and durable.
Teak is highly resistant to fungal attacks, which is a major reason why teak is so suitable for outdoor furniture.
Origin
Teak is an exotic wood species and grows naturally in tropical climates.
Carl Hansen & Søn only uses FSC-certified (FSC-C135991) teak from responsible partners.
Growth & size
The teak tree can grow up to 40 metres in height and 120 cm in diameter.
Hardness
The weight of the wood may vary, but the mean weight is approximately 630 kg/m³.
Appearance
At Carl Hansen & Søn, we only use the heartwood of teak.
Teak wood has a flaming, golden brown colour in the untreated state.
The teak has a lively appearance with dark stripes that follow the growth rings.
The wood can vary greatly in tone and grain thickness within the same trunk.
Surface treatment
Carl Hansen & Søn offers teak either untreated or surface-treated with oil.
Due to the high oil content of teak, it is not necessary to surface-treat the wood. Untreated teak can last for decades without being damaged.
In an untreated state, teak will have a silver-grey surface.
Oil-treating teak produces a reddish-brown colour with a warm golden glow. Over the years, the wood will patinate and acquire a silver-grey colour unless treated with oil.
