Teak Wood
It has a beautiful natural honey golden hue, but more importantly it is famous for being highly resistant to rot, pests (bugs, termites and worms), and fungi in both land and marine environments. Teak is the premier choice for any requirement in the marine industry, from decks and interior work, to docks.
Teak is naturally water-resistant and physically very strong and durable. It is not prone to significant expansion or contraction with humidity changes. The oils in teak are what make it weather-resistant and it requires basically no care when left outside. Its high silica content gives it non-skid properties as well as durability. This makes teak a great choice in damp environments, or in areas where slipping could be very dangerous.
Application: Ship and boatbuilding, veneer, furniture, exterior construction, carving, turnings, and other small wood objects.
Below are the popular sizes we are offering:
Teak Round Logs
Teak round logs are a premium choice for those in the market for lumber and timber products. The round logs are the result of a peeling process that removes the bark and exposes the wood’s natural grain.
Teak Square Logs
Teak square logs are created through a process that involves cutting the round logs into square pieces, exposing the natural grain of the wood. This process results in a beautiful and smooth surface that is ready for further processing.
