Unsealed Sealed with Satin Sealer
If you want to preserve the natural look of new teak and protect your furniture from “graying”, sealing your furniture with a teak sealer is the best option.
There are many oils, varnishes and polyurethanes on the market today. Teak & Deck Professionals has observed the best results from a high-quality custom teak sealer formulated specifically for our use. This sealer is a flat finish, which contains a UV and mildew inhibitor which helps to preserve your furniture. It also contains a small amount of pigment (color) available in a warm honey color. The pigment acts as a shield by preserving and protecting your teak furniture. (Note: We are able to offer a darker or lighter transparent color upon request.)
Information About Sealing New Teak Furniture:
1. You must apply a teak sealer before your furniture begins to weather. If it has already begun to weather and gray, you first need to remove all weathered spots and gray areas. (Note: Please look at information on restoring old furniture.)
2. The furniture should be allowed to sit outside for a week before sealing.
3. We also recommend a light sanding to all furniture prior to sealing. This will ensure the surface is clear of imperfections. Also a light sanding prior to sealing, guarantees the sealer will stick to the furniture and do its job.
4. Teak & Deck Professionals uses a high quality teak sealer. We have had excellent results with this product in different climates and the mass majority of our customers are satisfied with its look and durability. We do not recommend that our customers use a varnish, polyurethane or any glossy finish on their outdoor furniture. The ongoing maintenance and restoration expenses become very costly with shiny or glossy finishes. Also, we do not recommend tung oil or teak oil be used on your furniture. Contrary to what their names may imply, these products will require frequent maintenance and tend to turn black and degrade rapidly.
5. After applying the teak sealer, if added stain protection is desired, we can provide an additional two coats of a clear coat product to the tops of tables and flat surfaces. A clear coat provides added stain resistance and allows easy cleanup of food spills.
