Decking Care & Maintenance

INDOTEAK DECKING MAINTENANCE

A beautiful reclaimed teak deck can be left to age to a beautiful silvery grey or if desired, regular maintenance can keep your deck looking new for years to come.

There is no need for sealants or preservatives when it comes to maintaining teak decking. With solid teak boards, it is always optional to sand or refinish depending on the condition of your deck.

When it comes to cleaning a teak deck, avoid the strong two-part acid type teak cleaners. Also avoid high-pressure cleaners. Teaks natural oils make it great to stand up to moisture and our reclaimed teak is hundreds of years old, and can last many more decades with a little care. Hard brushes or strong cleaning detergents are also a no-no for teak decks.

If you prefer teak’s natural weathering to a silvery grey shade, leave it in its natural state. This is considered the traditional way to achieve this look effortlessly. On the other hand, some homeowners prefer retaining teak’s freshly sanded color. One of the treatment options to maintain teak in its natural state is to apply traditional teak oil. We recommend products from Rubio.

Besides maintenance methods for teak decks in residential areas, there are also a couple of tips for teak-decking in boats, which are quite similar. The best way to keep your deck in top shape is by cleaning it regularly every few months with a gentle wash.

Tile Installation & Care

Indoteak Design 100% FSC Reclaimed Teak Tile

ACCLIMATION: When teak tile has arrived at location of installation, reclaimed teak tile should be allowed to acclimate on location for 4-5 days prior to installation.

SUBSTRATE: This reclaimed teak tile should then be installed on a clean, sound, flat substrate. All substrate material must be dry, clean, and flat. The following substrates may be used with our teak tiles: • Fully cured concrete substrate • Cement backer board • Gypsum board (dry area only)

GROUT: Epoxy grout is our recommended choice for our reclaimed teak tiles. Due to the moisture in the adhesive during installation, our teak tiles may warp if traditional water mix adhesives are used. Please only use Epoxy based grout (floors) & epoxy adhesive(walls)

Prior to Grouting: Prior to grouting joints, after the setting adhesives is completely dry the following day. It is not recommended to set our teak tile and grout in same day. If set and grouted in same day, our teak tiles will not have a chance to acclimate during the drying process of the setting material and this may crack the grouted joints.

Grouting: Test grout on sample piece of tile to ensure that color and appearance is as desired. During application, when sponging the grout off the tile surface, a soft bristle brush is helpful to remove grout from the seams in the wood surface. If the grout is allowed to fully dry in the surface seams, it can be very difficult to remove. Our teak tile does not have to be sealed after grouting, as urethane grout does not require sealing.

Cleaning and Maintenance: CINTA™ wood tile may be regularly cleaned using, a gentle water based cleaner. (Example: BONA CLEANER) Do NOT use strong cleaners and strippers.
