It’s all about teak.
The benchmark
hardwood for fine
outdoor furniture for
more than 700 years.
Teak is a close grained hardwood with a high
natural oil content. This makes it hard wearing,
highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious
to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow. These
characteristics combine to make it the ideal timber
for all outdoor applications.
Only premium grade plantation grown teak is used
for the manufacture of Gloster furniture. The features
of premium grade teak are a straight grain structure,
the absence of knots, splits or cracks and an even
overall colour.
Many things make Gloster’s teak furniture exceptional.
For example, the joints used are specifically chosen
to provide the strongest means of joining the
component parts together. Thanks to the use of
kiln dried timber and our modern wood-working
machinery, these joints are made to extremely tight
tolerances, which means that they are always a
perfect fit and there are no visible gaps between
two pieces of joined wood.
With a beautiful sheen and a soft
natural finish, every piece of Gloster
teak originates from carefully managed
plantations and is thoroughly inspected to
ensure that quality endures.
