Is teak outdoor furniture suitable for HK?

Is teak outdoor furniture suitable for HK?

HK is a very harsh environment for outdoor furniture because of its huge variation in relative humidity, from single digits in the winter to nearly saturated humidity in the summer months.

 The naturally rich oil in teak helps to prohibit rotting and insect attacks. However, to prevent splitting and bending due to changes in humidity and temperature, careful selection of a healthy section of the tree and also the kiln drying progress which is followed after cutting the log, are also important.

The kiln drying progress can take weeks and the timber is placed in a huge 'oven' to remove moisture, thus making it dimensionally stable for making fine furniture. Although teak is said to have a naturally long-life cycle, correct maintenance is also necessary to yield the timber’s full potential and maintain its good looks.

Extend your Indoor Comfort to Outdoor

We used to separate the usage of the indoor and outdoor environments. Due to the limitation of COVID-19, we have had a lack of holidays and travels in the last 2 years. Interestingly, we discovered that some of us treat our home as a holiday house.
Empowered by this interesting rationale, there is a new trend of people trying to extend the cosy mood tone and usage from indoor to outdoor.

When setting up an outdoor space, you should first consider what you’ll mostly be doing in the space – lounging around, chilling, relaxing, entertaining, or maybe you’d like to accommodate several functions. Giving some thought to how you’d like to use your outdoor space will help you establish the type of furniture you’ll need – for example, comfy loungers, rugs or swings.

Whilst summer days seem to be getting longer each year, we all dream of a portable cooling system which will make our outdoor living times more comfortable.
A misting system is a great solution as it is both effective and safe to our environment! There is now technology using centrifugal forces to generate fine mist rather than using high pressure pumps pushing water through nozzles—the latter method often causing blocked nozzles issues. 
Our Manvac A-4C Misting Towers are portable and, with one fill-up,  can produce fine mist for 8 hours, longer than any party will last!  The Towers can swing through 90 degrees and deliver mist up to 10 metres away, helping your guests enjoy themselves and not be bathed in sweat.
