Teak structural timbers are highly prized for their durability, strength and natural beauty. The wood features a straight to wavy grain with a coarse texture and a rich golden-brown to dark brown color that deepens over time. Teak's natural oils provide resistance to moisture, insects and decay, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The wood's aesthetic appeal and ability to withstand harsh conditions make it a valuable material for luxurious interiors and durable constructions.
