Old Growth Teak, native to South Asia is a premium tropical hardwood with many of the qualities traditionally
associated with Burmese Teak, while offering its own distinctive character and performance. Mature Indian Teak
is appreciated for its rich golden-brown to deeper brown color and natural luster. Like Burmese Teak, its naturally
occurring oils contribute to excellent resistance to moisture, decay, insects, and weathering, along with outstanding
dimensional stability. Particularly valued for its strength, durability, and refined, timeless appearance, making it a
compelling alternative for applications traditionally specified for Burmese Teak. Teak is commonly used for premium
decking, boatbuilding, exterior millwork, luxury furniture, flooring, and
architectural applications.
