Teak wood is highly valued for its natural beauty, durability, and water resistance. Because of the natural oils in the wood, it is resistant to mold, rot, and weathering which means it lasts a lifetime with little maintenance while offering the natural beauty that all wood offers. Teak wood is the ideal wood for wet environments such as spas, showers, and poolside. It is as functional outside as it is inside. Here at AquaTeak, we are proud to be the world’s largest manufacturer of teak wood furniture, but we also make accessories, because we are well aware that the beauty is in the details. We would like to highlight some of our favorite teak wood accessories that can help you create that polished look that every homeowner craves.

Teak Storage Options

The key to great accessories is being functional while adding to the overall look of the space. We love teak wood home and spa accessories as they not only look stunning, but they are capable of housing anything! Teak wood shelving, such as the corner shelf looks great in any room, but because it is handcrafted from all natural teak wood, you can use it in your bath or spa to display decorative items or hold your bath salt collection, without worry of the steam causing it to mold or warp.

Bath and Spa Teak Wood Accessories

AquaTeak is known for our extensive line of teak wood bath and spa accessories! We offer everything you need from furniture to small accessories for your bath, shower, or spa. Some of our favorites are our teak towel rack which is beautiful and functional! It doubles as a blanket rack in other rooms as well. Another great item we offer is our teak wood floor mats, available in stock sizes, or completely customizable.

Kitchen and Entertaining Teak Accessories

We love the way teak wood and stainless steel compliment each other, the same way that teak wood compliments kitchen and entertainware. While you could serve cocktails on metal platters, we love the softer look and feel of wooden amenities accessories. Most wood will readily absorb and stain from any spills, along with permanently warping. Teak wood’s natural oils protect it from stains and swelling, keeping your wooden partywear in service all night long!

Pool and Patio Teak Wood Accessories

Another area that AquaTeak does well is pool and patio furniture and accessories. As previously mentioned, teak wood is the superior wood for wet environments. We love our teak laundry hampers for holding guest towels and our double hampers have the ability to separate clean from used. They are also useful for storing pool toys and summer swimming essentials. As with all teak wood products, they are mold and mildew resistant, so your towels will always be fresh!

Speaking of poolside, our luxury pool and patio furniture is second to none. We know they aren’t technically accessories, but our teak loungers accessorize any pool by adding luxury and elegance.

There are so many benefits to investing in teak wood furniture and accessories such as the natural durability and its resistance to water, weather, mold, and termites that make it perfect for any space. But, the superior quality and natural beauty of teak wood simply cannot be topped. When you invest in teak wood accessories, you are sure to have beautiful products that you can count on enjoying for decades. Browse our entire selection today!

When comparing luxury furniture, one product stands out above all others — teak wood furniture. For centuries, teak wood has been used to build structures and furniture for the elite, as a status symbol. This is because it is one of the most durable, long-lasting, and beautiful woods that make it as functional as it is gorgeous. Many people, upon their first encounter with this fine wood, have many questions. We would like the time to answer some of the most common questions that are asked about teak wood.

Where does teak wood come from?

Teak wood comes from the tropical hardwood tree, Tectona grandis, which is native to south and southeast Asia in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Burma. These tropical beasts grow to be more than 130 feet tall.

What is teak wood better for than other woods?

While there are many fine, durable, beautiful woods, none hold a candle to teak. Teak has a very high natural oil content which makes it almost decay-resistant, which is something that no other wood can boast. Because of the high oil content, teak is essentially waterproof and does not crack or warp due to damp climates. Teak is resistant to termites and other wood pests, which makes it ideal for projects that are usually vulnerable to termite infestation. Teak also gets to brag that it doesn’t crack or turn colors when exposed to metals, which makes it great for building long-lasting furniture. Teak wood has been used to build boat decks — rather, battleships — for centuries because of its water resistance and strength. Today, teak is used anywhere that any other wood is, and is popular for creating bath, spa, and pool furniture because it allows the natural look of wood without the weathered appearance or swelling that other woods take on when exposed to humid environments.

How is teak turned into lumber?

Many Asian countries, where teak is native, have established government-managed teak plantations that manage the growth and use of the teak wood. Trees that are between 40 and 80 years old provide the best quality wood, and are also full grown, so they supply the most lumber. Young trees tend to be softer, and the quality of the furniture that is produced from it will reflect the immaturity of the tree. Once the trees are chopped down, they must dry for one to two years before they are cut into lumber and then fabricated into boat decks or furniture.

Teak wood is one of the finest hardwoods available. Because it is only available in a small part of the world and the age of the tree has to be so great to produce ideal wood, it has become a wood that is exclusive to those who can afford it. While the price tag for teak wood furniture may be a little higher than other hardwood furniture, it is because it is almost indestructible and so durable that it will likely outlast its owner! Teak wood does not need to be stained or wax-coat finished and only requires a teak oil rub to regain its original beauty. Teak furniture can be placed anywhere, inside or out, and will weather well.
