Common Teak Problems and How We Solve Them1.Weathering and Graying- Problem: Exposure to UV rays and saltwater causes teak to lose its golden hue, turning gray and weathered.
- Solution: Our technicians use gentle cleaning techniques and specialized products to restore the original color without damaging the wood.
2.Mold, Mildew, and Algae Growth- Problem: In humid marine environments, organic growth can build up, making the teak slippery and unsightly.
- Solution: We apply eco-friendly cleaning solutions and pressure washing methods to eliminate mold and algae, leaving the teak clean and safe.
3.Surface Cracks and Splits- Problem: Fluctuating temperatures and drying effects from sunlight can cause cracks in the wood.
- Solution: We repair minor cracks using professional-grade teak fillers and sanding, ensuring a smooth and uniform finish.
4.Over-Oiling or Improper Coatings- Problem: Excessive oiling can attract dirt, while improper coatings may peel or flake over time.
- Solution: Our team expertly applies high-quality oils or sealants, ensuring balanced protection and a stunning finish.
5.Staining from Spills or Rust- Problem: Oil, rust, or food spills can leave unsightly stains on the teak.
- Solution: We use stain removers and sanding to gently eliminate blemishes without compromising the wood’s integrity.
6.Loose or Damaged Caulking- Problem: Over time, the caulking between teak planks can deteriorate, leading to water ingress and further damage.
- Solution: Our technicians carefully remove and replace old caulking, creating a watertight seal that protects the underlying structure.
