Absolutely! One of the most common questions we receive is, "Can we order a bench with a different wood type, like teak?" The answer is a resounding yes. Customization is at the heart of creating public spaces that are both functional and reflective of a community's character.
While many standard urban benches use durable hardwoods like oak or ipe, premium woods such as teak are excellent alternatives. Teak is renowned for its natural oils and dense grain, providing exceptional resistance to rot, insects, and harsh weather. This makes it an ideal, though often more expensive, choice for long-lasting beauty with minimal maintenance. The rich, golden-brown color of teak weathers to an elegant silver-gray patina over time.
The process is straightforward. When planning your project, simply discuss your material preferences with our design team. We can guide you on the performance, aesthetics, sustainability certifications, and cost implications of teak versus other hardwoods or modern composites. We'll work with you to select the perfect wood type, along with custom finishes, metalwork, and dimensions, to create a bench that perfectly suits your urban environment's style and durability requirements.
Investing in a custom material like teak ensures your benches are not just seating but enduring landmarks of quality and thoughtful design.
