Botanical name

Tectona Grandis it belongs to the family of Verbenaceae

Growth area

Indigenous to Burma (Myanmar), India and South East Asia, and introduced into East and West Africa and the Caribbean.

Growth characteristic

Once the true Teak of Burma (Myanmar) was a uniform golden-brown colour, now it is often possible to find Teak with rich brown with darker chocolate-brown markings. It is generally straight to wavy grained, coarse textured, oily to the touch and sometimes with a white glistening deposit.

Seasoning

Dries well but rather slowly. Variations in drying rates can occur in individual pieces. Standing trees are girdled and left to dry out for three years before felling. There is small movement in service.

Specific gravity

Weight varies from 600 – 700 kg./m3 average kg. 650/m3 . S.G. 0,65

Durability

Very durable; liable to insect attach. It is extremely resistant to preservation treatment.

Uses and manufacturing

Extensively used for ship and boat building for decking, rails, hatches, etc. Furniture and cabinetmaking, interior and exterior joinery, flooring, exterior structural work and garden furniture.
Also for acid resistant purposes such as chemical vats, fume ducts and laboratory benches.
