Materials & Construction
Teak Table Top
Natural finish teak: The slatted tabletop is made from natural finish teak. Gloster’s teak is supplied without film‑forming finishes; over time outdoors it will weather from a golden‑brown colour to a light silvery grey, depending on location and exposure.
Surface finish & feel: Teak elements are finely sanded and in some cases buffed to bring natural oils to the surface, creating a smooth touch and a subtle sheen that will gradually soften as the table is exposed to the elements or cleaned with water.
Teak care: Gloster recommends cleaning teak once or twice a year with water and mild detergent or Gloster Teak & Upholstery Cleaner, plus occasional light sanding to remove raised grain. Power washers should not be used on teak as they can erode the surface and make it rough.
Aluminium Frame & Protective Covers
Powder‑coated aluminium frame: The Split 280cm table uses a powder‑coated aluminium frame (Meteor or White), providing structural rigidity with reduced weight and good corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
Weathermax protective covers: Gloster offers tailored Weathermax covers for many products, including this table. Weathermax is a heavy‑duty, 100% solution‑dyed polyester fabric combining UV resistance, water resistance, breathability and durability to help protect furniture from dirt and the elements.
Cover usage guidance: Furniture and cushions should be completely dry before covering, especially for extended periods. Standing water should be removed from horizontal areas of the cover to limit moisture being drawn through the fabric, and covers should be removed regularly so furniture can be cleaned and maintained even when not in use.
Usage & Care
Ideal Applications
Large outdoor dining: With a 280cm length and seating capacity of ten, the Split 280cm Dining Table is ideal for generous terraces, pool decks and garden dining areas where long, sociable layouts are desired.
Everyday and seasonal use: The combination of aluminium frame and teak top is designed for permanent outdoor use. Teak will change character as it weathers; using a protective cover helps to slow this process and keeps off dirt, leaves and bird droppings.
Teak Protection Options
Allowing teak to weather: If you prefer a natural silver‑grey patina, allow the teak to weather and clean it thoroughly once or twice a year. Gloster Teak & Upholstery Protector can be applied over weathered teak to help repel moisture and reduce staining from food and drinks, with annual application recommended and twice‑yearly treatment suggested for tabletops.
Maintaining brown teak: To keep teak closer to its fresh brown appearance, Gloster recommends sealing new teak with Gloster Teak Sealer once a year, then applying Gloster Teak Protector on top to help repel moisture and prevent stains.
Avoid unsuitable products: Because teak is naturally oily, paint and varnish do not adhere properly and will peel. Gloster does not recommend the use of teak oil or other wood oils on outdoor teak; frequent oiling can lead to mildew on the oil film and cause the surface to turn black, which then requires aggressive sanding to remove.
Why Choose Gloster Split 280
Slim profile, generous seating: The Split 280cm Dining Table combines a slim, powder‑coated frame with a full‑length natural teak top, providing a visually light but robust ten‑seater table with clear care guidance and frame colour options to suit different outdoor spaces.
