EnglishTeak Wood
Teak (Golden Teak, True Teak, Tectona Grandis) is considered one of the most desirable hardwoods in the world. It is valued for its durability and stability. Its durability and stability are not strictly a result of hardness but of the quality, composition and amount of the teak oil which permeates this wood. Because of this, teak wood can withstand all types of weather and environmental conditions. It is the reason that teak is the favoured wood type in the shipbuilding industry.
Teak has high resiliency to extreme heat. It can withstand harsh chemicals, it's resistant to rot, termites and has no reaction to metal contacts. With all of this utility, it is a beautiful wood to look at. The heartwood of the teak tree is generally a dark golden yellow. After the lumber is processed, the color will turn a darker shade of brown with age and exposure.
