Key takeaways
- Our Bruges and Annecy ranges have arms made from Grade A teak (Margine teak) on powder-coated aluminium frames.
- Teak is known for its natural resistance to decay and insects, which is why it suits outdoor furniture.
- Left untreated, teak gradually weathers to a soft silvery grey. This is cosmetic and doesn't affect its strength.
- Clean teak gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush, working along the grain; avoid pressure washers.
- Use the included weather covers and store cushions dry to keep the whole set in good condition.
Teak is one of the easiest outdoor woods to live with. Our Bruges and Annecy furniture combines Grade A teak arms with powder-coated aluminium frames, so the wood is only on the parts you touch most. A gentle clean a few times a year keeps it looking good, and you can choose whether to let it silver naturally or keep its warmer colour for longer.
Here's how to look after teak-armed outdoor furniture. See our Bruges and Annecy ranges.

What is Grade A teak?
Grade A teak comes from the heartwood of the tree, the densest and most naturally oily part. Teak's natural oils are what give it its resistance to decay and insects outdoors. Our furniture uses Grade A Margine teak for the arms.
Why does teak turn silver?
Sunlight and rain gradually change the colour of the surface of untreated teak from honey-brown to a soft silvery grey. Many people like this weathered look. It's purely cosmetic: the wood underneath stays strong.
How do you clean teak arms?
- Brush off dust and leaves.
- Wash with warm water and a little mild soap, using a soft brush along the grain.
- Rinse with clean water.
- Let the wood dry naturally.
Avoid pressure washers, wire brushes and harsh chemicals, which can roughen the surface.
Silver or honey: which look do you want?
| If you want… | What to do |
|---|---|
| The natural silvery grey | Simply keep the teak clean; it will weather on its own |
| To keep a warmer, honey colour for longer | Ask our team before applying any teak product, so it suits the finish and won't mark the aluminium or cushions |
Teak care through the year
- Spring: give the teak and frames a full clean before the season starts.
- Summer: wipe away sun cream, drinks and food from the arms promptly.
- Autumn: clean again and check for any rough spots.
- Winter: use the weather cover and store cushions dry. Covers are included with our Bruges sofa and dining sets and Annecy sofa sets.
