Teak is naturally water, mold, and mildew resistant due to its natural density and high oil content. It has been the wood of choice for hundreds of years of luxury boat builders. This natural resistance has been supplemented by using their proprietary DecoTeak stain which is a deep penetrating stain with added mold, mildew and fungus inhibitors. It provides the ability for this teak furniture to be used outdoors as well as indoors.
