GlosterSaranac Teak 2-Seater Sofa

When designing  the Gloster Saranac 2-Seater Sofa, Mark Gabbertas imagined a design that combined exceptional comfort with an enduring aesthetic. He achieved just that with the blend of natural finish teak frame and a woven outdoor rope back panel, creating a design that would continue to charm for years to come. To tie it all together, the outdoor fabrics used in the plush cushions of this design ensure durability without compromising on softness. 

From modular seating arrangements to dining tables and chairs, Gloster’s outdoor furniture combines sophisticated fabrics, powder-coated finishes, and sustainable Indonesian plantation-grown teak. 

Gloster’s roots go back to West Africa in 1960. By the late 1980s—due to increased demand and access to sustainable, plantation-grown teak—Gloster moved its factory to Indonesia. Today, Gloster is a leader in luxury outdoor furniture. All of Gloster’s teak furniture originates from ethically managed plantations, and a Gloster teak tree has a lifecycle of at least 50 years. The result is beautiful, sustainably sourced teak that will last through even the harshest weather conditions. 

What’s more, Gloster’s outdoor furniture is not the result of mass production; every piece boasts handmade quality and consistency. To ensure its furniture designs are just as top-tier as its materials, Gloster works with world-renown designers to create timeless outdoor furniture. Once a concept is approved, designers work closely with the development team at the Gloster factory to further perfect their designs.

Material Properties
Every piece of teak Gloster uses originates from plantations. About 80% of this is from government owned plantations on the Indonesian island of Java and the balance from FSC certified plantations outside Indonesia. Contrary to popular belief, teak furniture does not require any special maintenance routine or any additional protection apart from occasional cleaning. Left to age naturally outside, teak will gradually change to a soft, silver-grey as the pigments in the surface layer of the wood begin to fade away. We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally this way and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with Gloster Teak & Upholstery Cleaner.

Teak furniture may also benefit from an occasional light sanding to remove any raised grain and restore a smooth finish to the surface. Under no circumstances should a power washer be used to clean teak furniture.

If you wish to retain the golden-brown color of new teak we also offer Gloster Teak Sealer. Application of Teak Sealer will not affect the strength or longevity of the furniture in any way, just its appearance. If you elect to use Teak Sealer you will be embarking on a regular maintenance programme as Teak Sealer needs to be regularly re-applied to provide continuous protection.

If you intend to store your furniture over the winter, we recommend that you do so in a water-tight garden shed or garage. However, we advise that you do not move teak furniture from the garden straight into a heated indoor room for storage, as the sharp differences in temperature and humidity may cause the wood to split.

To protect teak surfaces from staining and to help maintain the silver-grey patina on weathered teak, we recommend using Gloster Teak & Upholstery Stain Protector. Gloster Teak Protector creates an almost invisible shield which helps to prevent food (coffee, ketchup, red wine, olive oil, etc.) penetrating into the teak and causing unsightly stains. Teak Protector also helps protects the wood against the ingress of moisture, the adhesion of dirt and prevents mildew growth.

Cleans and brightens weathered teak in one, simple step. Each bottle is supplied complete with a special applicator pad. Teak is a beautiful golden brown, close- grained hardwood with a high natural oil content. Exceptionally hard wearing, highly resistant to rotting and almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow, teak is the first choice timber for outdoor furniture. It is recommended that you clean teak furniture thoroughly once or twice a year.

It is recommended that you treat your teak furniture with Teak Protector at least once every year. Tabletops should be treated more often.

Gloster Teak Sealer - 25oz / 750ml plastic bottle with trigger-action head. Water-based formula - both non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Cleans and brightens weathered teak in one, simple step. Each bottle is supplied complete with a special applicator pad. It is recommended that you treat your furniture with Teak Sealer at least once a year.

Cleaning Cushions
One of the best ways to keep cushions looking good and to delay the need for deep cleaning is to properly maintain the fabric cushion cover. This can be accomplished by simply brushing off dirt before it becomes embedded, wiping up spills as soon as they occur or spot cleaning soon after stains occur. Cushion covers should always be removed from the cushion filling prior to any cleaning. Cushions should be stored in a dry location when not in use.
