Il n'y a pas de traductions disponibles
Our new colors (Bleached, Weathered, Off-White) are cooler and cool four minutes faster than real teak. Flexiteek Teak is approximately the same ready state temperature as real teak but cooled five minutes faster and about two minutes faster than another synthetic teak brand.
This is a noticeable difference in warmer climates.
Materials Technology Ltd. was commissioned by Flexiteek to do thermal testing of a range of Flexiteek products in comparison with new and aged natural teak and a synthetic teak quality brand (will be mentioned as “Other Brand” in this article). The results are summarized in the table below.
