Network 142 Chaise Lounge

The Network 142 is made of teak that is renowned for its remarkable durability and resistance to the elements, making it an ideal material for outdoor furniture.

The inherent qualities of teak wood, particularly its natural oily resin, provide exceptional protection against weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and insect infestations.

This resilience ensures that teak furniture remains sturdy and reliable even when exposed to harsh outdoor environments.

One of the unique characteristics of teak wood used for Network 142 is its ability to develop a natural oxidation patina over time. When left outdoors, the surface of the teak undergoes a transformation, forming a thin layer of oxidation about 1/2 mm thick.

This patina gradually changes the color of the wood, turning it from its original warm, golden hue to a sophisticated silver-grey shade. This process, while altering the appearance of the teak, does not compromise its structural integrity or inherent properties.

The teak remains just as strong and durable as it was in its natural state, continuing to offer long-lasting performance to Network 142.

For those who prefer to maintain the original color of their teak furniture, proper maintenance is essential. The silver-grey patina can be avoided or removed through regular care and treatment.

Cleaning the teak with specialized products designed to preserve its natural color, and occasionally applying teak oil, can help maintain its original golden appearance.

This routine maintenance not only keeps the teak looking fresh but also enhances its natural oils, providing an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Teak’s robustness and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for various outdoor furniture pieces, including dining sets, loungers, benches, and more. Its ability to withstand the test of time, coupled with its low maintenance requirements, makes it a favorite among homeowners and designers alike.

Whether left to age gracefully into a silver-grey patina or maintained in its original golden state, teak furniture adds a touch of elegance and timeless beauty to any outdoor setting, proving to be a worthwhile investment for years to come.
