Gloster Outdoor


Gloster's origins as furniture makers go back more than 40 years and today the Gloster name is synonymous worldwide with the best design and the highest quality in outdoor furniture. The wide range of furniture incorporates both classic and modern designs to cater for all tastes and requirements. From traditional to the contemporary, there is something for everyone in the Gloster range. In addition to teak, Gloster is experts in the use of a variety of materials for the manufacturing of furniture. Extensive use is made of stainless  steel, powder coated aluminum, man made wicker and sling materials.


Teak and The Enviroment
Teak trees are not indigenous to Indonesia but climatic conditions on the island of Java are ideal for growing teak.  Teak was originally introduced to the islands by Buddhist Monks, some 700 years ago. When the Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 19th century, they soon realized the opportunity to establish large plantations and introduced the sustainable management systems that are still in use today. Teak plantations are not much different than any other crop, except that the growing cycle is far longer. Within the plantations, the trees are continuously cared for by the local population and over their lifetime the trees are regularly pruned and the integrity of the plantations carefully maintained. This ultimately results in a better quality of timber - healthier wood, straighter grain and less knots. Ideal for use in outdoor furniture. Gloster works continually with the managers of the government owned plantations and other interested parties to ensure that everything to do with their teak is environmentally friendly
