Teakwood

The Timeless Beauty of Teakwood

Teakwood is more than just a material; it's a symbol of enduring beauty, strength, and resilience. At RusTeak, we celebrate the timeless allure of teakwood and harness its natural beauty to craft exquisite furniture and artifacts.

Teakwood Sustainability 

Thanks to Mumbai's rich colonial history, teakwood can be reclaimed from old bungalows in the area. Reclaimed teakwood refers to the process of salvaging teakwood from old structures and repurposing it for various applications, including furniture, flooring, and decorative items. This practice not only helps preserve the valuable teakwood but also adds a touch of history and character to the reclaimed pieces. Reclaimed teakwood is known for its durability, natural beauty, and unique patina that develops over time. It is highly preferred while making moving parts like doors, windows, cupboards, folding furniture etc., since this is naturally seasoned over decades. 

From its rich history to its unparalleled durability, teakwood holds a special place in our hearts and our craftsmanship. Explore the world of teakwood with RusTeak and discover the magic of this extraordinary material.

Teakwood Care

Teakwood products have their intended usage and the ergonomics is accordingly defined. Otherwise, the RusTeak joineries, careful handcrafting and our 7 Step world-class finish will ensure your product lasts for a lifetime and becomes a part of the family heirloom!

We use Epoxy block primer, Emporio epoxy sealer and Emporio top coat PU – these are some of the toughest products available and also used on aircraft exteriors. What is distinct with Rusteak is the level of detailing, micromanagement and effort which goes into the Product Grooming and final finish. Rigor includes

a) 35/40 grit grinder finish for the rounded edges

b) Hard sanding with machines/ hand depending on the surface with 80 grit paper , this is the most important part and lays the foundation for the final look and feel. Greater the rigor here, enhanced is the Beauthy of Teakwood. We audit this stage before moving on

c) Block primer/ insulator application and sanding with a 120/180 grit

d) Emporio world class Sealer application - 2 coats done by compressed sprays and sanding between coats by Grit 280/320

e) Undulation checks, Putty, sanding

f) Color checks , final checks and sanding

g) PU application - Matt finish of world class Emporio series . 

The above ensures a beautiful handcrafted product in your hand, good for family heirlooms , however It is important to clean with dry clean cotton fabric , avoid exposure to direct sunlight or rain – makes your purchase look great forever.

It is absolutely normal for large products to display surface hairline cracks in the first year of purchase – it is just a seasonal expansion or contraction exerting itself. 

Ideally, just clean the area well with cotton or use a 320 grit sanding paper a few strokes and apply some wax/ oil – it will settle off and blend with the existing finish.

Cleaning periodically, mild waxing and buffing is all that the product needs. Be assured on the joineries, design and ergonomics.
