Teak Oil provides many benefits to wood and is a popular choice for wood finishing. We recommend Teak Oil for Garden Furniture, as this is where it performs its best.
Teak Oil is a wood finishing oil used to protect and nourish wood. It penetrates deep into the grain of the wood to create a long lasting, hard wearing finish that protects the wood and enhances its beauty.
Our Teak Oil is formulated using a traditional recipe of pure tung and linseed oil, making it completely safe and non-toxic to use. As Teak Oil isn’t a naturally occurring oil itself; the formulation is open to interpretation and so other companies Teak Oils will likely differ from one company to the next.
