For Outdoors:

We do not advise timber table tops be used in an unprotected outdoor situation due to the possibility of warping and fading.

If you are looking to furnish your outdoor areas with a timber look we advise using Teak products or timber look products that can withstand the harsh rain and sun of the Australian environment.

We suggest the Timber look Resin Table Tops or Compact Laminate which is available in a variety of timber look finishes.
