Frequently Asked Questions


What is Grade A Teak

For teak to become Grade A the teak tree has to grow for at least 45 to 50 years to fully mature before it is harvested. This length of time gives the tree time to produce a very heavy oil concentration, allowing the oil to spread to all parts of the wood, bonding the wood and making sure that nothing penetrates the wood.

What is Grade B & C Teak

B and C grades of teak are harvested just after 10 to 20 years. This results in a lack of oil in the tree, which will give the timber a much shorter lifetime since water will be able to penetrate into the wood.

What to do for Crack - Separations - Splits in Teak Wood

For cracks or separation of seams that don’t disappear and you want to get rid of or for splits in the wood, you can do the same that the teak factories and we also do at our warehouse…….use a good wood glue and fill them in.  The teak factories recommend either Gorilla Glue or TiteBond Premium glue…..our preference is the TiteBond because when it sets up in 8-12 hours… it expands the least and dries clear. A business card or paper clip can be helpful sometimes in pushing the glue in small cracks. Sometimes a clamp can be used in this process depending on where the crack/separation/split is….A little sanding with fine sand paper (150 grit) may be needed afterwards to sand away the excess glue that set up and expanded.  After this process, that part of your teak furniture will actually be the strongest part of the furniture piece.

What You Should Know About Teak

Teak is a very hard, closely grained wood that is high in natural oils. These three properties combined together, is what creates this wood’s legendary endurance, truly making teak the King of woods, best suited for outdoor use that is extremely resistant to water and humidity.

Why Choose Windsor Teak Furniture

Windsor Teak Furniture is widely regarded as one of the best teak furniture brands in the world—and for good reason. Every piece is crafted from 100% Grade A Indonesian teak, the highest standard of teak wood available.
Why Grade A Teak Matters
Not all teak is created equal.
Grade A teak is taken from the mature heartwood of the teak tree, where the natural oils, density, and strength are at their highest. This makes Grade A teak:
Extremely durable
Naturally water-resistant
Crack, warp, and rot resistant
Rich in color with a tight grain
Long-lasting (often 50+ years outdoors)
Lower grades (Grade B & C) lack these oils, fade quickly, and deteriorate much faster. When you invest in Windsor Teak, you’re investing in furniture designed to last for decades.
