Recycled teak, or what other people call reclaimed teak, refurbished teak as well as rediscovered teak, is the teak wood which is obtained from old houses, old bridges, old stables, old ships and many other sources.

Refurbish teak wood has long been used as furniture material. The material is mostly taken from the sources which have the age more than 50 years. The moisture content of recycled teak furniture is 15% at the highest. Therefore the problem of wood shrinking, warping and cracking will be very minimal, not to say impossible. This means that this kind furniture comparably endures more to the extremes climate than the newly cut-down teak furniture.

Of course the newly cut-down teak furniture can also endure the extreme climate as long as it is kiln-dried up to 15% moisture content. However, many people nowadays tend to love recycled teak furniture not only because it can be called antique in its true sense because it is in line with the spirit of making our earth greener by not making excessive use of newly cut-down teak as the furniture material.

This kind of furniture is also characterized by its natural beauty which comes from prominently beautiful natural grain of the teak wood which has been done by ages and long exposure to the weather and surroundings.

Other distinctive characters of this kind of furniture are its inherent "defects" such as nail holes, paint stains, and other "defects" which are normal to the materials which are all obtained from old houses, old bridges, old stables and many other sources. Most people regard the "defects" as part of the antiquity of this type of furniture.

All customers who buy reclaimed teak furniture have wisely understood why this kind of furniture costs higher than newly cut-down furniture. They know for sure that this furniture can be regarded not only as antique furniture in its true sense because of its old materials used for the furniture but also as the support of the "Green Spirit."
