Architectural Teak

Rising Demand for Architectural Teak

The demand for architectural teak is surging, particularly for high-end homes, upscale restaurants, and luxury hotels. Known for its exceptional resilience, teak has been a preferred choice for boat builders for centuries due to its superior durability against environmental conditions and insects. This makes it ideal for applications in waterfront homes, pool decks, and outdoor dining areas.

Unmatched Quality and Longevity

It’s important to distinguish high-quality old-growth teak from standard furniture-grade teak. Genuine old-growth teak, even when left unfinished, can last for centuries while maintaining near-perfect condition. It is commonly used for interior floors and stairs due to its aesthetic appeal and robustness. Its resilience extends to bathroom floors and even showers, with a beauty that can be enhanced through various finishes. Teak’s high density allows for easier refinishing compared to other woods; it can be sanded or chemically stripped to reveal a fresh layer of wood underneath, enabling it to look brand new for a lifetime with proper care.
