Teak (Tectona grandis) is found all over the world, in southeast Asia, the East Indies, Africa, and America. Our Teak is grown in 20–50 year plantations, which means you’ll get the hardest, most durable wood without harming the environment. It’s a 100% renewable product guaranteed to last!
Teak is lighter than Ipe in both color and weight. Its color ranges from yellow brown to dark golden brown, darkening with age. Because it is less dense than Ipe, Teak is also generally easier to work with.
True, Genuine Teak Decking
