The science of Heritage Grade Teak & why Heartwood matters

By choosing the expertise and trust of Memorial Benches UK you are investing in the true heartwood of the timber that we call Heritage Teak. Our wood is carefully checked for the high natural oil and silica content only found in the dense core of mature trees, providing a natural 25 year plus lifespan that requires zero chemical intervention and matures into a beautiful, silvery grey patina.

While many bench retailers offer teak at a lower price point this is often achieved by using soley, or a mixture of, "sapwood" the soft outer living layer of the tree that lacks natural resistance to decay. For 25 years we have educated our customers on the critical distinction between generic "Grade A" labels and what we class as true Heritage Grade heartwood.

In these inferior products, the pale porous sapwood is frequently chemically treated or stained to mimic the rich golden hue of high quality timber. However once exposed to the British elements these artificial treatments fail leading to rapid rotting and structural collapse.

Find Comfort & Peace

At Memorial Benches UK we understand the profound importance of honouring a loved one. We offer a beautiful range of FSC® certified teak memorial benches, commemorative benches and sustainable bereavement wooden benches for sale across the UK available in comfortable 2 seat, 3 seat and 4 seat sizes. Each bench can be beautifully personalised with engraving and plaques and is always delivered fully assembled to your chosen location.

Recently purchased a bench in Memory of a dear departed member of our golf society. Have to say I was very worried about making a purchase on line. I need not have worried. We have taken delivery of a superb quality bench including a personalised plaque which is now in place at our golf club. I was kept fully informed on the progress of the order
Delivery was made on time on the day promised
Can thoroughly recommend.

Diana Miller

I dont believe ordering a memorial bench is something many people will do or experience. Believe me, in my experience it is not something you want to do order online. I had so so many questions and wanted to ensure everything was done correctly. So grateful to the team for all the calls and to Wendy who explained their engraver could check for me to have a personal shape engraved. I now have my Dads actual signature on his bench. Hands down, the best team. Forever thankful!
