Benefits of Teak – Here’s Everything You Need To Know

Teak is one of the priciest materials used in furniture—durable commercial outdoor lounge furniture. But why is it so pricey? What is it about the material that makes it such a highly desirable (and thus high-cost) option? Teak offers a number of benefits.   High Oil Content The high natural oil content of teak makes it both water and weather-resistant, as well as resistant to bugs and bacteria. It’s ideal for use with outdoor furniture (like our outdoor contract furniture) because wind, rain, snow, termites won’t damage it.   Low Warping Risk Wood warps when water soaks into it and dries. Thankfully, the high oil content of teak prevents water absorption. This means there is a very low risk of teak warping, which is why teak was used for ships and maritime vessels for thousands of years. Hail nor rain nor snow will cause your teak furniture to warp.   Beautiful. Teak naturally has rich tones and deep coloring that you just don’t find with other types of wood. You can find teak in a variety of colors from blonde to bright red to deep brown to black. Each piece of teak of unique and the unique style of grains and coloring makes teak a wonderful enhancement to the beauty of any kitchen, office, or commercial venue.   Extreme Durability Teak grows much more slowly than most trees, which means it has a tight grain. With the high natural oil content to keep out water and bugs, the tight grain will ensure that the teak retains its shape not just for years, but decades or even centuries. Teak requires very little maintenance or protection against the elements or bugs. It can be used anywhere in your home or commercial space, and you can trust that it will bear up to heavy use!   A lot of our Caluco furniture collections use teak, particularly the Sixty and Cozy collections. We’ve found the material is beautiful, not to mention hardy.   We use ONLY Grade A teak, meaning it is cut from trees older than 40 years and using only the premium center of the teak tree. Grade A teak has a much lower risk of discoloration, variations, and knots. It also has a tighter grain, higher oil content, and better weather, water, and bug resistance. Over time, it develops a beautiful silver-grey patina that enhances the beauty of the furniture.   If you are thinking of buying teak, you should always consider Grade A teak first. It’s much more durable and beautiful—making it the perfect choice for your outdoor furniture!

4 Key Considerations When Choosing Restaurant Outdoor Furniture

Adding an outdoor seating area to your restaurant can increase revenue dramatically, as you can read here. If you’re looking for a way to offer your customers something new and unique, you’d do well to consider turning that patio, rooftop, garden, or sidewalk into an outdoor venue. When shopping for restaurant outdoor furniture, here are four things you need to take into consideration:   Comfort This is always the most important factor! You want your diners to be comfortable because a comfortable person is more inclined to order additional drinks and desserts. All of our Caluco outdoor furniture collections are designed with user comfort in mind, with the option to integrate a cushion into the frame to ensure your diners are happy and relaxed while they eat.   Sizes Finding stock furniture of the right size can be a challenge, especially if you’re working with a less-than-flexible outdoor layout. We solve that problem by offering versatile furniture in a wide range of sizes, and available in any quantity (no minimum on all of our Stocked Collections).   Storage The downside of having an outdoor seating area is that your servers have to bring the furniture inside or cover it every night to prevent weather damage. Not so with our Caluco furniture! Not only are our chairs, stools, and tables built with natural and synthetic materials that are highly resistant to rain, sunlight, snow, heat, and cold, but we offer furniture covers (made with our durable SurLast fabric) to protect the furniture overnight. We’ll even manufacture custom covers for your non-Caluco furniture. Our goal is to make your life easier and prevent the need for storing the furniture overnight!   Maintenance Spills, food stains, water stains, and dust and debris damage are among the primary concerns of restaurateurs shopping for furniture. We’re proud to offer very low-maintenance furniture that is beautifully easy to clean. Our synthetic wicker is stain-resistant and can be cleaned with a damp cloth in a matter of minutes. The fabrics used for our chair and stool covers are also resistant to stains and spills. Best of all, our furniture covers will keep your furniture clean with rain, wind, debris, and snowfall. We make keeping your furniture in great shape a breeze! If you’re looking for the best quality furniture for your outdoor restaurant, shop Caluco. Our collections offer unparalleled versatility and durability. We’re here to help you make your outdoor venue a success!

Where to Set Up Outdoor Furniture in Restaurants/Bars

One of the great things about life in Southern California is the fact that the weather is pleasant most of the year. This means that people like to get out of their house more, and often search for a venue where they can relax, enjoy the mild weather, and socialize with friends and family. A good way to take advantage of this desire to be outdoors is to set up an outdoor dining space. With the right outdoor restaurant furniture, you can turn your extra spaces (gardens, sidewalks, patio, porch, roof, etc.) into an attraction that will bring diners from around your city. Natural and Man-Made Features  If your venue is located near a natural feature (beach, mountain, lake, etc.), offer an outdoor venue that provides access and views of the natural feature. Your guests will love relaxing on the comfortable restaurant furniture outdoors, sipping their drinks or eating their food while enjoying the view. Green Life If you have a garden or are near a forest or national reserve, you MUST use restaurant furniture to take full advantage of the green life. Green is a naturally soothing, relaxing color that will encourage your guests to sit back and enjoy themselves. You will need to do far less decorating because all the green will do the work of de-stressing your diners for you. Great Views What could be better than dinner with a great view? You can set up outdoor dining sets on the rooftop, elevated porch, or patio overlooking the city, mountains, forest, or ocean. People will come from all around the city (and even from out of town) just to enjoy the views. Great food and comfortable restaurant patio furniture are all you need to turn your venue into a hotspot! Open Air Most of us spend our days indoors: at the office, at home, relaxing in front of the TV, etc. Our bodies crave fresh air, so a venue that offers open-air seating will be more popular and de-stressing than one that is fully enclosed. Peaceful Locale If you can set up outdoor seating away from the busy street (such as in a back porch or patio), you can give guests the gift of a quiet outdoor setting. That is incredibly relaxing and can do wonders to help encourage people to return again and again. All of these things make outdoor furniture such an important element in any restaurant. The problem is that the weather (sunlight, rain, and the Santa Ana winds) can take a toll on your furniture. You may worry that buying outdoor furniture for your restaurant might not be a smart investment if it’s just going to get damaged or worn in a year or so. Not with Caluco furniture. We offer seating that can be adapted to any space, no matter how large or small. But our furniture is so much more than just beautiful and practical—we also guarantee durability. Our aluminum furniture is made with a powder coating to protect the metal from the elements. We use only high quality, water-resistant synthetic fabrics to ensure your soft, comfy couch cushions are weatherproof. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, our Standard High-Density Foam furniture is the perfect blend of comfort and longevity. With Caluco’s Mirabella and San Michelle collections, you get everything you need for the ideal outdoor spaces in your restaurant.
