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.
