Q & A

Why do we need the Teak Shield?

Teak Shield is a great way to protect the teak furniture in those accidental spills on dinners and parties. The shield prevents most of the hard staining foods we can think of making it non penetrating by staying close to the surface of the teak.  The teak furniture will look as new year long. 

How often do we need to apply teak protector?

Teak protector generally lasts for the entire season and it depends also on the exposure of your furniture to sun, humidity, rain, the age of teak, and other natural climatic factors that are beyond control. Our teak protector is non-greasy, water based which penetrates into the teak in less than an hour or so and you don’t have to worry of getting your clothes or cushions to get any stains from it. Once applied let the furniture dry for an hour or so depending on the conditions of weather, how fast it dries the furniture. As said it is water based and it will dry quickly so you can use in few hours.

What are the effects of teak protector on environment- flora and fauna?

It may affect your garden grass and plants, so it is highly recommended if you do by yourself have the disposable piece of sheet placed underneath your furniture that needs to be treated and make sure to dispose off like any other hazardous material should be.

Does the color of furniture change after applying teak protector?

No, the teak furniture remains the same color as this teak protector is not a sealer and not oil based, that can change the color of teak wood furniture. It is ususally the teak sealers and teak oil that changes the color to more darker like in brown or in reddish orage tint. Our teak protector reinforces the golden/honey color and gives a beautiful end- result that lasts a year long.

How do we apply teak protector and how much is recommended?

To apply teak protector, we recommend that not only the teak furniture be cleaned from dust and fibre, but also the cloth used should not have fibre releasing component. The cloth should be dust free and should be used once only and then disposed off. We do not recommend using of sponge or spray to apply the teak protector as that is overusing the Protector resulting in damaging the teak wood, like slight cracking and/ or blistering. Applying a small amount and applying evenly all over the teak furniture.
