New World Teak is proud to be part of a global effort to reforest tropical rain forests through planting and sustainable harvesting of teak plantations. The plantations we are involved with are owned and operated by families in Latin America, that converted grazing land to forest land four generations ago. The focus is on what this generation can do to ensure a livelihood for the generations that follow. Painstaking care was taken in the selection of seed stock for desired qualities and characteristics of trees. The harvesting is done with integrity to maintain the continuation of the forest with minimum impact on the environment.

We are pleased that the resource base for our teak products is truly sustainable. Teak has been highly valued by artisans throughout the ages. It has been traded world-wide for other hardwood for its beauty, stability, and durability for both indoor and outdoor use.

Its incredible withstanding of changing weather conditions has contributed to its desirability. Teak's inherent hardness, which is close to traditional red oak, lends itself for use in fine furniture, flooring, and interior millwork.

Because of its special weather resistant properties it also has a long history of use in boat building, outdoor furniture, and exterior building uses, such as decking, exterior siding, and gazebos.

At New World Teak, we are dedicated to combining an old world tradition with the use of the latest drying and milling techniques to produce state-of-the-art quality products, all manufactured in the California Bay Area. Our intention is the combination of integrity in our resource use and quality of workmanship in all our teak products.
