In today’s accelerating urbanization process, people’s demand for outdoor space utilization is increasing day by day. Whether it is a courtyard, terrace, or commercial leisure area, an outdoor furniture that combines functionality and aesthetic value often becomes the core focus of the space. The square outdoor dining table series launched by CDG Furniture redefines the durability, portability, and design sense of outdoor furniture with an innovative combination of natural teak wood table tops and thickened aluminum frames. This article will deeply analyze the core value of this product from the dimensions of materials science, structural design, usage scenarios, and maintenance.
1. Teak Wood Table Top: A Perfect Fusion of Natural Gifts and Modern Craftsmanship
1.1 The Scarcity and Uniqueness of Natural Teak Wood
Teak wood is known as the “King of Ten Thousand Trees”, with a growth cycle of over 50 years, and is only distributed in tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. This type of wood has a density of up to 0.65-0.85g/cm³, is hard and highly stable, and can withstand extreme temperature and humidity changes. CDG Furniture selects A-grade Burmese teak wood, which has a natural oil content of up to 10% -15%, forming a natural protective layer that effectively isolates moisture, insect infestation, and decay.
1.2 Scientific Principles of Waterproofing and Durability
The waterproofness of teak comes from its unique cellular structure. Oil substances in wood, such as Taichun, will expand upon contact with moisture, forming a dense barrier that prevents water from penetrating. According to laboratory tests, the water absorption rate of CDG teak tabletop after continuous soaking for 72 hours is only 2.3%, far lower than the 15% -20% of ordinary hardwood. In addition, the silicon dioxide content in teak wood reduces its surface friction coefficient, making it less prone to residual rainwater and further extending its service life.
1.3 The Aesthetic Value of Natural Wood Grain
Each teak table top retains its original growth texture, from the interweaving of deep and shallow straight lines to the tiger patterns resembling a landscape painting, giving each product a unique natural imprint. CDG adopts German imported UV coating technology, which enhances the surface hardness to 5H (pencil hardness level) while retaining the breathability of the wood, resisting UV aging and daily scratching, making the wood grain last forever.
2. Aluminum Frame: A Dual Breakthrough in Lightweight and Structural Strength
2.1 Material Advantages of Thickened Aluminum
The main body of the frame is made of thickened aluminum material, which is widely used in various industrial fields. Its tensile strength reaches 230MPa, which is 1.5 times that of ordinary steel, while its weight is only one-third of steel. CDG uses precision extrusion technology to control the aluminum wall thickness above 2.5mm, ensuring that the frame has no risk of deformation when carrying a weight of 150kg.
2.2 Engineering Innovation in Modular Disassembly Design
Traditional outdoor furniture is difficult to transport due to its large size. CDG has made a breakthrough by adopting a quick detachable structural design, which can be assembled/disassembled in 5 minutes. The frame is divided into two main modules: a desk top frame and support feet, each weighing no more than 4kg, which can be easily placed in the trunk of a regular sedan. This design not only facilitates home users to adjust the layout according to space, but also meets the seasonal furniture replacement needs of commercial places.
2.3 Detailed Considerations for Anti-Corrosion Treatment
The aluminum surface undergoes three processes of treatment:
- Anodizing: forming a 10 μm thick oxide film to block oxygen and moisture;
- Electrostatic spraying: using Akzo Nobel outdoor powder, with a salt spray resistance test of up to 1000 hours;
- Edge chamfering: Eliminate sharp edges and corners to avoid the risk of scratches during use.
These processes enable the framework to maintain a service life of over 10 years in high humidity coastal environments.
3. Scenario Based Application: From Private Courtyards to High-End Commercial Spaces
3.1 Diversified Adaptation to Family Scenarios
- Small courtyard: With a size of 1.2 meters square, it can accommodate 4-6 people and is paired with dining chairs to form a compact dining area;
- Terrace leisure area: The 1.5-meter version reserves a central umbrella hole, compatible with outdoor sunshades with a diameter of 3 meters;
- Balcony renovation: After disassembly, it is stored in layers with a thickness of only 25cm, saving valuable space.
3.2 Performance Verification of Commercial Premises
In a five-star hotel application case in the United States, the CDG teak square outdoor dining table has undergone:
- 8 hours of direct sunlight per day (with UV intensity reaching level 8);
- Quarterly hurricane weather (instantaneous wind speed exceeding 40m/s);
- Clean at least 20 times a day (including wiping with chlorine containing disinfectant).
After 3 years of tracking and testing, the clarity retention rate of the wood grain on the table top reached 92%, and the integrity of the frame structure was 100%.
4. Maintenance: Low Cost Continuation of Product Lifecycle
4.1 Daily Cleaning Plan
- Wooden parts: Use a soft bristled brush to remove dust, wipe with a damp cloth, and immediately wipe dry;
- Metal parts: Clean with neutral cleaner and avoid using steel wire balls;
- Once a month: Apply specialized teak maintenance oil to enhance waterproof performance.
4.2 Seasonal Protection Guidelines
- Winter: Northern countries recommend using breathable dust covers to avoid snow pressure;
- During the rainy season, there will be no water accumulation under the table top, which also prevents condensation from accumulating;
- Long term idle: After disassembly, store horizontally and package the table legs and top separately.
5. Sustainable Design: Environmental Protection Concept Runs Through the Entire Lifecycle
5.1 Material Recyclability Rate
The aluminum recycling rate reaches 95%, and the pomelo wood residue can be processed into decorative accessories, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the product by 40% compared to traditional furniture.
5.2 FSC Forest Certification
All teak comes from sustainable forest farms certified by FSC, and each dining table comes with a unique traceability code. Consumers can check the time and geographical location of the wood harvesting.
5.3 Modularization Extends Service Life
When there is partial damage to the table top or frame, users can replace the module separately to avoid resource waste caused by overall scrapping.
Conclusion: Redefining Outdoor Life
The CDG square outdoor dining table is not only furniture, but also an expression of a lifestyle attitude – it integrates natural aesthetics into daily scenes, solves practical pain points with industrial design, and echoes the needs of the times with sustainable concepts. Whether it’s the coffee time in the morning or the starry sky banquet at night, this piece will witness every outdoor memory worth cherishing with outstanding performance and eternal beauty. Choosing CDG furniture means choosing a high-quality lifestyle that can withstand the test of time.
