Teak Wood For SaleScientifically known as "Tectona Grandis," teak is a premium hardwood that has many uses. The deciduous tree thrives in dry, hilly areas and is one of only a few exotic hardwoods that don't prefer the rain forest. It is more cost efficient to produce than other types of wood for outdoor furniture, as well. Many manufacturers use their leftover teak scraps to fuel the fires that heat the kilns to dry the wood. This sort of renewable spirit makes the buyer feel even savvier about making their purchase.
Buying teak is an investment in wood that will stand up to the test of time. This is the industry's single most durable wood, making it ideal for outdoor and patio furniture use. From Hawaii to Maine, from Arizona to Alaska, this wood is right at home in any climate. It is impervious to heat, cold, humidity, rain, sleet, snow, and ice. It needs no preservatives to maintain an even color and only beautifies with age from a caramel brown to a silvery gray color. Indoors, teak glows golden for decades as well.
As a rule, teak is smooth to the touch and even presents a pleasant smell. Although faint, this wood releases a fragrance all its own, only adding to the long list of attributes that make teak so popular. Hailing from Southeast Asia, teak is now grown mainly on eco-friendly tree farms to preserve the natural crop.
