Teak is a dense, close-grained hardwood with a high natural oil content.
Teak is exceptionally hard wearing, highly resistant to rotting and is almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow. For these reasons, teak is the first choice timber for outdoor furniture.
We control our manufacturing at every level - from hand selection of the finest grade of teak, through kiln drying to processing at our own factory. Kiln drying not only enables us to craft accurate, close fitting joints, but also ensures the stability of the finished furniture in all the climatic conditions it is likely to meet.
Naturally, all teak we use is sourced from sustainable plantations. Every item is designed to the last detail by the World's most eminent
professional furniture designers, who set higher standards of comfort, style and
practicality. The quality of Gloster furniture is consistent from every angle. Comfort,
safety and security are key features in every piece. Edges are smoothly finished, joints
are close fitting and folding furniture has automatic safety catches. |
