Solid beauty
To choose teak is to enjoy a lifetime of natural beauty. Teak is part of a lifestyle that goes back to essentials: experience the blissful fulfillment of country life, fine eating and drinking, and the small, but pure, pleasures of life.
Teak for life
Centuries ago, the unmistakable quality of teak was discovered on Java. What makes the ‘Tectona Grandis’ so wonderful as a species of tree is not just the wood it produces: while the worst types of weather wreak havoc on all other types of wood, it seems to have no effect whatsoever on teak.
The most cutting of island winds, tropical storms and the scorching heat of the equatorial sun are the toughest quality tests nature can throw at teak.
And thanks to its oily resin, teak remains totally durable, without any treatment to the wood, which always stays tough and unchanging in structure.
Teak has been used for its durability on Java for centuries. They used it to build fishing boats and sailing ships, as well as temples, houses and furniture.
This unique wood is cultivated in immense plantations and is only cut down after decades of growth. With their innate sense of beauty an artistry,
the Javanese have become genuine experts in working with teak.
The furniture they make is not only strong and long-lasting, but its sober shapes and pretension-free craftsmanship make items of Javanese teak furniture into timeless masterpieces.
Unique harmony
The unique character of teak lies in its natural and timeless aura. Furniture made from teak blends into any surroundings – it is never overbearing and is always harmonious. Teak furniture is sincere and stylish in any setting – the best choice when it comes to real class.
Inspired perfection
Teak furniture from Java is created using traditional craftsman’s skills that are passed down from father to son. Generations of furniture-makers use their inspiration, skills and simple manufacturing methods to produce a truly noble end product.
Timeless comfort
Teak wood requires no processing and can easily be cleaned and maintained with soap and water. Moisture does not permeate the pores of the wood:
teak has a specific structure that makes rain run off its surface immediately.
Simple pleasure, hidden depths
To choose teak is to enjoy a lifetime of natural beauty. Teak is part of a lifestyle that goes back to essentials: experience the blissful fulfillment of country life, fine eating and drinking, and the small, but pure, pleasures of life.
Purity & simplicity
Teak furniture is comfortable and user friendly. Its traditional style is robust but elegant, with designs that are sober and free of pretension.
Pure shapes are combined with superior quality.
Choice for style, choice for life
Teak furniture is perfect for relaxing and style. Pure but sober luxury creates a state contentedness. Anyone who opts for teak, opts for a lifetime
of beauty and quality. Teak is a tangible proof of eternity. A choice for living.
Gift of nature
The ‘Tectona Grandis’ or teak tree, is cut down in Java on immense teak plantations. It takes at least 40 years before a teak tree can be felled.
Only then does the wood possess the quality that makes it so unique. The authorities ensure that as many teak trees are replanted as are felled, so that the natural balance can be maintained.
MAINTENANCE OF STAINLESS STEEL AND TEAK WOOD FURNITURE
Casa Java New Metal Collection is constructed from a combination of durable 304 Stainless Steel and premium Indonesian Teak wood as well as the high quality, fire retardant batyline. The Teak’s high oil content naturally guards against the elements, making it a superior choice for outdoor use, and stainless steel, resistant to corrosion, also provides your furniture with added stability, strength, and durability. With the touch of mortise and tenon joinery craft and stainless steel fittings, Casa Java New Metal Collection ensures decades of outdoor usage.
However, over time, the outdoor environments which include variable weather will eventually affect the appearance of the teak and the polished stainless steel look. The dirt may collect on exposed surfaces of the teak and stainless steel, which can be minimized with the recommended use of “Casa Java Stainless Steel and Teak Cleaner “on the furniture.
Stainless Steel
The 304 Stainless steel is may not “Corrosion Proof” even though it is not resistant to discoloration. Certain chemical applications and extreme environments such as salt water, acid air and airborne particles will gradually lead to signs of corrosion and discoloration; however, it will in no way affect the strength, integrity, or longevity of the furniture. Therefore, some maintenance is required to preserve the finish and the quality of the stainless steel.
Small brown spots may appear on the stainless steel surface but such spots can easily be removed by cleaner available in hardware store. By gently rubbing the surface with a soft cloth in the direction of finish, you can clean the affected stainless steel surface and bring back the exclusive look of the stainless steel.
The more extreme the environment, the more frequent the maintenance is required and we recommend a monthly and weekly application. By placing the stainless steel furniture in marine and coastal environments will cause a quick discoloration and require more frequent maintenance.
Teak Wood
The teak portion of the Casa Java New Metal Collection is finished with Aqua Politur. With the ability of protecting the teak surface from water absorption and without changing the natural look and grain of the teak, Aqua Politur is the most suitable water-based finishing material for outdoor purposes.
Despite the use of this particular finish, the finished teak will naturally change from golden brown to a silver grey color due to weather and time. With the mixture of the cleaner liquid and water with a 1:1 composition, gently rubbing the mixture with a soft cloth on the teak surface can protect the wood from the mildew growth and further water seepage as well as maintaining the natural look of the teak. Any remaining dirt not easily removed by the soft cloth can be removed with No. 240 sandpaper then rubbed with the Aqua Politur finish. The frequency of maintenance will depend on the weather conditions but we highly recommend a weekly and monthly maintenance on all furniture.
