Skagerak Denmark White Drachmann 82" Bench

White Painted Nyatoh

All of Skagerak Denmark's white painted furniture is made of solid Nyatoh hardwood, which is surface treated with a thick white paint. Wood is a living material, and it works and moves in line with changes in humidity and temperature. This may cause small cracks in the paint. Such cracks should be repaired immediately to avoid moisture penetrating in underneath the paint coat. Moreover white painted furniture should be repainted/repaired as required (depending on placing, winter keeping, etc.). White painted furniture should not be left outdoors in the winter time. It is recommended to keep the furniture for the winter in an unheated room such as a garage or a cellar. At delivery the wood is dried according to outdoor average humidity, which should be considered if you want to keep the furniture indoors. Use Skagerak Denmark Wood Quick for cleaning and Skagerak Denmark white repair paint for repainting and repair.

Versatility - Indoors or Outdoors

Skagerak teak and white painted furniture and accessores are made for either indoor or outdoor use.

Wood is a natural fiber and should be properly maintained for maximum life and beauty.  We recommend that you do not expose your Skagerak furniture to extreme cold during winter.

Teak Wood - Naturally Beautiful

Teak is a hardwood that contains natural oil, which makes it resistant to moisture and the drying effects of exposure to the elements. Teak is the perfect wood for outdoor furniture, and is increasingly popular indoors because of its natural beauty. Teak is also used for ship building (especially decks), indoor or outdoor furniture, high-class joinery, flooring, paneling, plywood and decorative veneers.

Teak is kiln dried for three to four weeks. This dries the teak to the optimum humidity and helps eliminate cracks.

Teak is generally straight grained with a medium luster and an oily feel. It has a yellow brown to dark golden brown appearance when new and grayish or white look as it ages.

Care of Teak

This teak product is untreated. If you wish to preserve or highlight the natural color of the teak, treat it with oil. The oil treatment should be repeated at regular intervals as needed.

Some people treat teak with varnish to protect its natural color. This is often done in the cabins of sailboats.

For regular cleaning use natural soap that both cleans the teak and adds a protective layer of soap. Natural soap can be used on untreated and oiled surfaces alike. A wood cleaner can also be used. Re-treat the teak with oil after using a wood cleaner.
