whO WE ARE
Florida Teak specializes in the production and wholesale of authentic teak wood products.
True Teak, or Tectona grandis, is the top choice for discerning architects and marine professionals. Its unmatched quality and durability make it the ideal wood for outdoor applications.
Genuine Burmese teak is the gold standard in yacht construction, and we are proud to offer a substantial inventory of marine decking and FEQ lumber, secured before the onset of political instability and import restrictions.
In addition, we operate our own sawmill, producing sustainably grown teak from one of the world’s oldest plantations. This premium-grade teak, comparable in longevity to Burmese teak, is an excellent choice for architectural projects, patio decks, ceilings, indoor flooring, and siding.

sustainability
Florida Teak has dedicated years to identifying and securing the highest quality sources of old-growth, sustainable plantation teak for future supply that meet FSC requirements. We operate a sawmill in East Africa, home to one of the oldest and most prestigious teak plantations in the world. The age and quality of these trees exceed those of any South American plantations, making them the only option truly comparable to now-sanctioned old-growth Burmese teak. We are committed to environmental responsibility without compromising on quality.

Florida Teak partners with contractors, architects, boat builders, and millwork shops to supply the highest quality lumber and finished teak products. Our extensive inventory ensures timely delivery and a wide range of sizes to meet your specific needs.

Teak Decking and Trim for Boats
-
Florida Teak remains a trusted source for leading boat builders and refit companies across the nation. We’ve secured a significant stock of Burmese quarter-sawn teak and wide boards, ensuring that our customers receive only the finest yacht-grade materials.
While this precious old-growth stock is limited and gradually depleting, we have also secured access to one of the world's best plantations for genuine mature teak. Although we continue to prefer Burmese teak for yacht decking as long as it’s available, we can also produce high-quality, sustainable decking from our plantation-sourced teak, even though lengths may be limited.
residential teak
Teak has become increasingly popular in residential and commercial projects due to its unparalleled longevity and natural beauty. Once reserved exclusively for yachts and sailboats, teak is now widely used for patio decks, ceilings, siding, and handrails. Genuine teak possesses unique qualities that no other hardwood can match. While there are more affordable alternatives, particularly from Brazil, teak consistently outperforms all other species.
We custom mill each project to our clients’ exact specifications, offering a range of products including T&G flooring, patio decking with hidden fasteners, and nickel gap siding.
Superior Durablity
- Teak's exceptional resistance to the elements is a key reason it’s the preferred choice for boat decking. It remains dimensionally stable in extreme cold and heat, resisting warping and splitting even after repeated exposure to wet and dry conditions.

The first set on the left features plantation teak, the second set in the center showcases Burmese teak, and the final set on the right displays Ipe.
