Every wood is a natural material and is therefore sensitive to external influences such as the weather, and especially UV rays that destroy the structure of the wood and create more or less cracks on its surface. Then the water in the form of rain or moisture penetrates the resulting cracks and makes the wood continue to decay. The process of decay is further accelerated by other external influences, such as air temperature. Depending on the length of exposure to the mentioned influences, the wood will first start to fade and look unsightly, and eventually completely collapse.
Teak is a hardwood that can be found in Asia – for example in India and Burma, which contains a high percentage of oil and is therefore very durable and resistant to moisture.

Over time, the varnish layer wears out slightly, so one-year maintenance of the varnish is recommended.
Oil decking cycle
The decking cycle is a simpler application cycle due to the use of only one product. The oil is enriched with a protective UV filter and protects the wood from water and other impacts, maintaining the vibrancy and tone of the treated wooden surface over time.
Teak oil cycle

Teak oil does not contain sufficient UV protection, and for this reason, teak treated with this oil very quickly loses color unevenly and looks gray, inconspicuous, and smudged. Therefore, it needs to be applied 3-4 times a year. For this reason, this is the most demanding cycle, if you want to achieve quality protection of … Read the rest
