Outdoor teak furniture on the Riviera is exposed to a combination of: salt air, intense UV and humidity changes. Even high-end furniture can degrade within a few seasons without proper maintenance.

Teak insights
Teak performs differently in Mediterranean conditions.
UV exposure, salt air, and temperature changes accelerate wear, cracking, and surface degradation.
These short insights explain what actually happens — and how to avoid costly damage.
Why Teak Cracks Faster under the Sun
Teak doesn’t just age in Mediterranean conditions — it degrades faster due to constant UV exposure, salt saturation, and temperature swings.
Why Pressure Washing Teak Causes Permanent Damage
Pressure washing removes more than dirt — it destroys the soft grain of teak. Once the surface is damaged, the wood becomes thinner and more vulnerable to cracking and water ingress.
