General Information:
- Brushed Teak: The hard yellowish-brown teak wood is used primarily for furniture and shipbuilding. Ethimo teak comes from controlled forest plantations in Thailand and Indonesia, resulting in an excellent and high-quality material ideal for outdoor furniture. It is particularly resistant to temperature, water, humidity, and saltwater changes.
- Pickled Teak: To give teak vintage charm, it is“pickled”, in other words, it is firstly brushed to give the surface a rougher older appearance, and remove the natural oily coating. It is then tinted. For the “grey” pickled finish, after being brushed, the teak is treated to give it a silvery-grey coating with an antique effect.
- Maintenance: To keep the teak furniture in the best condition, it is recommended to wash it often with water to remove dirt and impurities from the surface. In the case of stains on the surface, it is advisable to clean the dry material with a soft sponge and cleanse with mild soap diluted in water.
In case you want to protect the surface of teak from natural wear, avoiding stains and dirt, it is possible to treat the material with a protective product that will darken it slightly, creating a protective film. Ethimo provides the specific kit for cleaning and protection.
Ethimo uses natural stone, such as statuary marble and lava stone.
- The marble is given a treatment to protect its surface that leaves it with a matte finish. Lava stone, enamelled in emerald green, may vary in colour and occasionally irregularities. These are traits characteristic of both the natural stone and the artisan finish. After specific treatment, marble and enamelled lava stone surfaces ensure exceptional hygiene, resistance to atmospheric agents, staining, scratching, and low water absorption. They are also highly resistant to wear and tear and temperature differences.
