Genuine Teak Hardwood Timber
From £10.67 + VAT
Teak timber (Tectona grandis) is recognised worldwide for its durability and great stability. It has a natural oil content that is its water repellent, making it immune to rotting, fungi and most chemicals.
The genuine Teak (Tectona grandis) now available from Timbersource, is from a 40,000-hectare plantation in Ghana, a source which has UK Forestry Commission approval. Trees are felled from 10 years or more, depending upon girth. Continual replanting is part of the process, to develop a long-term supply.
Untreated teak wood can be left open to the elements for more than 30 years and naturally seasons to an attractive mild silver colour. Teak will not turn black when in contact with most metals.
Simply tell us how you'd like your teak timber to be machined as well as the desired measurements, and we'll use our state-of-the-art machinery found in our mill and machine shop to cut it to suit your requirements.

Teak is a beautiful colour and is generally fine to coarsely grained, of even texture and has a slightly oily feel. Generally yellow/brown to dark golden brown heartwood with greyish or white sapwood is usual.
Although Tectona grandis (teak) can still be found in Myanmar and Thailand, much of it was cut down over many decades due to aggressive commercial exploitation. In recent years industrial plantations of teak are now situated around the world.
