New World Teak is dedicated to transforming plantation grown teak for use in fine quality lumber, decking, and flooring. Teak has been highly valued by artisans throughout the ages for its beauty, stability, and durability for both indoor and outdoor use. We are pleased to offer this prized hardwood grown on sustainable plantations in the New World.

Why use Teak?
Teak has qualities unlike any other wood. Teak is dense, rich in oil, almost impervious to splitting, buckling, and rot, making it termite proof. Once used in shipbuilding, it withstands the rigors of adverse climate yet weathers beautifully to a soft silver gray. Teak benches more than a century old are still in use in Hyde Park, England and places throughout the world. While our plantation teak (tectona grandis) enjoys the properties of forest grown Burmese teak, it is a sustainable, environmental product sold at a substantially lower price. When amortized over the years, because of its quality and longevity, plantation teak is one of the better investments around.

Teak is the premier wood for outdoor use because of its durability and defiance of the weather. Since teak is one of the world's most stable hardwoods; it is an excellent choice for indoor use such as flooring and furniture, especially in applications on or near the water or with large variations in seasonal humidity.
