Teak Wood / Kayu Jati
(Tectona Grandis)
The timber is used in the manufacture of outdoor
furniture, boat decks, and other articles where weather
resistance is desired. It is also used for indoor
flooring and as a veneer for indoor furnishings.
Teak is easily worked and has natural oils that make it
suitable for use in exposed locations, where it is
durable even when not treated with oil or varnish. Kiln
drying allows for sustainable, plantation-grown teak to
perform nearly on par with old-growth teak.
Teak is used extensively to make doors and window
frames, furniture and columns and beams in houses. It is
very resistant to termite attacks.
