featuring three primary applications
Architectural Application
Builders, architects, and designers frequently turn to teak for its high-end appeal, workability, and ability to stand up in high-traffic locations. With an extremely low shrinkage ratio, teak wood is not prone to the warping or buckling more common with other woods. Additionally, teak is highly resistant to pests and decay, making it perfect for any application.
There’s a good reason why centuries of shipbuilders have turned to teak when outfitting their valued marine vessels. No wood stands up to the abuse, constant water saturation and sun exposure better than teak. Because of this, teak is an ideal choice for decking, cabinetry, railings, mouldings, doors and more.
If you’re looking to make a statement, teak furniture will do the talking for you. Regularly used for both exterior and interior furniture, teak wood provides a warm, smooth, yet textured feel to any design. With naturally higher levels of oil and rubber, teak rarely requires staining while maintaining an undeniably high-end look for years to come.
Our rough-milled or planed teak lumber is perfect for a wide variety of uses including marine decking and boat building, architectural projects, furniture, woodworking and more. Provided ready for finishing by the end-user, Mys-Teak hardwood is guaranteed to be perfect for even the most demanding projects and applications.
