If you are looking for the landscape of your backyard, revive a tired porch or patio, or even create a warm and cozy living space from this new deck, you may need new furniture. After all, what good is a great place to have fun if your guests do not feel comfortable while they are there? When you need a few chairs to fill some space on the porch, or this plush, comfortable, deep seating for the veranda, it is possible that a teak or cedar will be your best choice for this outdoor living room. The choice to choose will depend on a variety of factors, although, most importantly, you will need to consider the appearance you are hiring to achieve, the service required, and the price you can expect to pay to find the best option. So read below and you'll relax in the new pool bar in a new lounge chair in no time!
Sight
One of the most important features of any new furniture is the look it highlights. Is your outdoor patio space more suitable for a village appeal or a luxurious modern style? Perhaps not. Maybe just simple, but warm, elegance tells you more. But if you want to create a fun, relaxing environment with a poolside bar, and some lounge chairs or a simple lounge chair, you will have many options with both teak and cedar.
Cedar usually has a very natural look, emphasizing your living space in soft red, light brown and gray tones. A light and porous cedar can easily take on a stain, sealant, or even paint, but is most often left in its raw finely ground form to preserve the natural appearance, feel, and smell. Cedar is fragrant in nature, which not only complements the atmosphere of a relaxing evening, but also helps to preserve and protect the forest from insects and weather.
Tick is almost the polar opposite of cedar from the point of view of almost everything. A tick is by its nature deciduous and, as such, denser and heavier than cedar. It is grown exclusively in subtropical and tropical regions, and most often in the Danish jungles of Indonesia and other Asian countries, teak is almost always imported and, therefore, less often. As a result of the exotic, associated with furniture made of teak, she got an idea of rarity and wealth, and then gives luxury and prestige. Teak furniture is usually purchased in one of two ways. It can be oiled to get a darker “colored” look, or it can be left in its natural unfinished state, where it will delicately age and turn into a soft patinated gray color. This color, unique to teak furniture, contributes to its exotic appeal.
Service
Another very important factor to consider when deciding to buy furniture for an outdoor patio is the level of service you want to use in your new furniture. Fortunately, the factor of service or lack of - one of the main reasons why wood from teak and cedar is the best choice of furniture manufacturers and consumers.
Cedar, by its nature, is a very tree for tenants, whose properties help to withstand the weather conditions of all climates, but are particularly dependent on precipitation. Snow, sleet and rain do not care about the long-lasting properties of cedar, which retain their brilliance for many years. This is one of the reasons why leaving cedar furniture in a polished unfinished condition is by far the most popular end. As in many other forests, some want to finish their cedar furniture to achieve the same look. In order of popularity are listed several paint coating options.
- Stain - many prefer the finished look of a beautiful spot on their outdoor furniture. The advantages of using stains include the ability to change the color of furniture to almost any color for which there is a stain. Spots are now offered in many shades through a dark light spectrum. The stain can also provide little protection against the elements, despite the fact that cedar is really not needed and therefore mainly should be used only to change color. The drawbacks of the spots are that in order to maintain the original painted appearance, the stain must be reapplied every 2-3 years, since the stain itself is not as resistant to the sunshine of ultraviolet radiation and weather elements as wood.
- Sealer - some prefer to “lock up” the natural look of their cedar furniture and therefore prefer to use high-end sealant. Dealers are made by many companies and are available in any equipment or store large boxes. The sealant will prevent fading of furniture from the cedar patio and slow down the aging process. Keep in mind that this aging is often a desirable affect of cedar. The lack of sealing cedar furniture is consistent with the lack of use of stains. To maintain its effectiveness, it must be reapplied every 2-3 years, which can be tedious and tedious.
- Paint - like any wooden surface, cedar can be painted with beautiful wooden exterior paint. This is not as common as painting or sealing furniture, because the paint will crack and the chip, and also dramatically changes the appearance of the furniture from its natural state. As soon as the paint cracks and chips, the entire painted surface must be completely polished and repainted, sealed or painted.
Teak is also very resistant to weathering and ultra-elastic wood, in part due to its propensity for secreting natural teak oil, which helps self-purify and protect against the harsh requirements of a humid and / or humid climate. For this reason, many shipbuilders choose teak as the main tree for the decks of their ships. Many shipwrecks were raised from the depths of the ocean only to show a tick, perfectly preserved and in tact. This is a property that makes the tick more common in its natural incomplete state, since there are no functional reasons for applying any external coating on the surface. However, some customers prefer to use additional amounts of this teak oil to get a darker look. While this will preserve the “new” type of furniture, it must be reapplied every 2-3 years to maintain this appearance and therefore may become burdensome. In addition, leaving the tick in its natural state, often the desired gray tint of the patina is naturally achieved where it is not possible if tick oil or another coating is applied to the surface of the furniture.
Price
Although price is often a problem for consumers, sometimes this is not a factor for buyers of wood furniture. As with everything else, price is a measure of perceived value. The more valuable a product is perceived as a consumer, the more it will cost. Only this reason is that teak and cedar furniture are usually more expensive than other common materials for outdoor furniture, such as plastic, wicker or rattan furniture. Tick and cedar themselves have a difference in price, although this can be quite significant depending on the individual piece of furniture. That's why.
Cedar - because of its easy, convenient, easy collection and accessibility, cedar is a cheaper choice of two types of wooden furniture. Although it will last a long time and is very durable, a typical tick will last longer.
Tick - for all reasons opposite to cedar, tick is a more valuable tree. Just the absence of the presence of cedar or other forests helps to create this elitist, rare, some kind of feeling that carries a tick, which increases the price. Buying teak furniture is often perceived as a sign of abundance or wealth, because teak has a well-known reputation for making the team more expensive. More expensive assembly, more expensive delivery and its long-term attractiveness in combination with its novelty together contribute to the increase in its cost, which, in turn, creates a higher price for the consumer.
Thus, “better” or “better” can only be determined by the client. However, given the appearance, service and price, tick and cedar can be easily compared and contrasted with similarities and differences. Cedar, a lighter weight, commonly used wood makes large patio furniture because of its ability to resist insects, decay and weather elements (especially rain, snow and snow), and also because it is reliably cheap to produce. Teak, hardwood two, more exotic, rare and will last longer. Thus, it provides a higher price, but also provides greater perceived value in terms of prestige, longevity, and free possession.
