Wood Finishes: Finish is the protective layer applied to wooden furniture. Regular finishes (film forming, polyurethane, marine) don’t do well in tropics. Wood expansion can cause them to crack; they need to be regularly re-applied, and some are not suitable for exteriors. Personally, my go-to choice is bio-friendly penetrating oil such as linseed and tung oil. Additives to these can also prevent mildew, UV ray damage, and more. It is great for both interior and exterior.
All-Weather Rattan Furniture: Rattan originally was available in a natural form, derived from the rattan plant. Furniture was made by weaving it in a wicker pattern. Now, one can pick unique and versatile, weather-proof rattan furniture. These are made from resin. I am sure you would have come across woven pool-side deck furniture. That is all-weather rattan. These glamorous yet hardy pieces can be found on patios, balconies, and gardens of homes and hotels.
