The case for FSC teak
FSC-certified teak carries a naturally oily, close-grain structure that weathers to a silver patina without treatment. It is the choice for hospitality schemes that want a warm, tactile, heritage look.
The case for aluminium
Marine-grade aluminium wins on weight, zero rust, and crisp modern profiles — ideal for rooftops, balconies, and high-turnover contract use where pieces are moved often.
Decision checklist
- Coastal or poolside, low maintenance → aluminium.
- Resort lobby, warm tactile feel → FSC teak.
- Mix: teak dining + aluminium lounge is a common premium pairing.
