Teak wood is the most look for furniture material all over the world. However, the supply of teak wood is not large in several states. Regions that have potential as suppliers of teak wood are Asia, and one of them is Indonesia.

IFEX Indonesia (International Furniture Expo) 2024 was held in Jakarta for 4 days on 29 February – 3 March 2024. IFEX 2024 was attended by 450+ exhibitors, 117 countries, and 13.730 visitors. It was a pleasure for Alas Gembol to be able to attend the largest International Furniture & Craft Trade Show in Indonesia.

IFEX exists with the aim of bringing together exhibitors with partners, buyers and other relations directly, which is expected to help exhibitors in developing their business. Through this exhibition, it is an opportunity for furniture business players to prioritize encouraging exports and increasing the growth of the furniture industry.

Maximizing use of technology and increasing innovation is also an important part of the business development process because it supports businesses to more easily enter international markets and helps potential buyers to explore Indonesian products/crafts and build business relationships. The business transaction model that occurs at IFEX is B2B (Business to Business), where this transaction model involves companies with other companies.

Alas Gembol has been a part of IFEX since 2018 and we have got positive result after joining IFEX. Alas Gembol has met several new buyers and this has had an impact on increasing sales/exports. Until now, Alas Gembol is still and will continue to join several other exhibitions to get closer to those who are looking for potential partners/suppliers and develop Alas Gembol business to become increasingly global.

The Unpredictable Properties of Natural Teak Wood

You need to know that teak wood or other natural wood has unpredictable properties. This means that changes in wood can occur even though the production process has gone through qualified production standards. Such as the wood drying process, strong assembly, the best materials & chemical treatment processes. Generally, wood cracking & wood shrinkage occurs which will cause damage to the furniture construction system. Other consequences will certainly damage the appearance.

Furniture Damage Due to Wrong Maintenance

Damage to teak wood furniture can occur, but that doesn’t mean it always happens. In several cases of complaints from buyers, damage often occurs due to the use of furniture that is not suitable for function, placement & maintenance. Of course, this is not an excuse for us as teak furniture producers to escape responsibility. We will provide a guarantee as an after-sales service.

Tectona grandis was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus the Younger in his 1782 work Supplementum Plantarum.

In 1975, Harold Norman Moldenke published new descriptions of four forms of this species in the journal Phytologia.

Moldenke described each form as varying slightly from the type specimen: T. grandis f. canescens is distinguished from the type material by being densely canescent, or covered in hairs, on the underside of the leaf, T. grandis f. pilosula is distinct from the type material in the varying morphology of the leaf veins, T. grandis f. punctata is only hairy on the larger veins on the underside of the leaf, and T. grandis f. tomentella is noted for its dense yellowish tomentose hairs on the lower surface of the leaf.

If your stain is dark-colored or black, it means that the wood itself has been affected, which will take more elbow grease to remove, but with the right ingredients and a little determination, you can remove those pesky water stains from any wood surface. The same is true for getting alcohol stains off wood surfaces like a table or floor.

If someone forgot to use a coaster and placed a glass on top of your wood furniture, leaving a water stain, you don’t have to worry. Although removing water stains from wood can be difficult, the stain doesn’t have to last forever.

With a few everyday ingredients, you can get rid of the rings. There are also a variety of homemade wood cleaner recipes you can use to keep your wood looking shiny and clean even without stains.

The simple answer is yes! Mango wood is an incredibly strong and sturdy type of wood, making it perfect for furniture that will see a lot of use. It’s hardness is measured to be 1,120 pounds per foot on the Janka Hardness Scale, placing it between Mahogany and Oak in terms of hardness.

What are the cons of mango wood furniture?

Mango wood doesn’t require much maintenance which is great, but during dry weather it is prone to get dehydrated. If the wood is exposed to heat sources or the sun, cracks can form relatively easily.

Is mango wood water resistant?

Although mango wood is fairly water-resistant, it is advised that you do not clean it by applying water to the surface and removing with a sponge. Wipe down periodically with a slightly damp or dry dust cloth that contains no heavy stitching, in order to avoid scratches.
