What is the teak weathering process?

0

Over a few months in an outdoor environment, untreated teak will weather to a silver grey colour, which is due to the action of sunlight. Why does new teak sometimes have ‘wild’ dark or orange stripes? These markings are perfectly normal and will disappear within a few days, following exposure to the UV spectrum in natural sunlight. These marks are often apparent following the kilning process, which we use to lower the moisture content of the timber prior to manufacture. Kilning reduces the incidence of small cracks that can appear in the furniture due to the changes in temperature and humidity encountered in an outdoor environment.
