A common problem faced by woods is termite damage and teak is particularly resistant against these pests. Much like cedar and cypress wood, teak has its own natural resins that protect it from damage from extreme weather conditions, especially damp rot. In general hardwoods resist decay better than their softwood counterparts which makes them very suitable for outdoor and patio furniture. Hardwoods are those which have a high number of pores and a high density.
The teak is a 30 to 40 ft deciduous tree (its leaves fall off during the winter months). The hardwood Teak comes from the Teak (Tectona) tree, which grows in southern Asia. It may come as a surprise to learn how many different types of wood are used in furniture making, each one with their own specific properties, weight, density and grain.
