Providing outstanding Beauty, Strength & Durability, Teak is the perfect choice of timber for all types of yacht & boat building. Teak has been the preferred timber for Decks, Rubbing Strakes, Gunwales, Cabins and Internal Joinery such as wash boards trims and furniture for nearly 150 years.

Durability

Teak can claim "Durability Class 1", the highest possible. It is extremely resistant to marine borers and is impervious to sea water. A deck laid in Teak is guaranteed to out last any other comparable species available.

Colour & Texture

Teak is generally straight grained of medium texture and appears golden brown when first cut darkening with exposure to light & age.

The Origin of Teak

Genuine Teak comes mainly from Myanmar (formerly Burma) with limited volumes supplied from Java and Thailand. In more recent times fast grown plantation Teak has been available from places such as Nigeria but the quality is poor and unsuitable for marine applications.

His detailed research provide the government of the day with invaluable information regarding the potential of well maintained forestry practices which are still applied today ensuring future economic stability and continued supply.
