Tectona grandis

 Sometimes called Burmese teak, this name is used to differentiate natural-grown trees (typically from Myanmar, aka Burma) from teak grown on plantations. With its superb stability, good strength properties, easy workability—and most of all, its outstanding resistance to decay and rot—it’s no wonder that teak ranks among the most desired lumbers in the world. 

Native to southern Asia; widely grown on plantations throughout tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 

Genuine Teak is unaffected by insects, fungus, acids or alkalis, making it ideal for decks and other outdoor architectural elements. For marine use alone, teak is the ideal choice for decking, cabinetry, railings, custom mouldings, louvered doors, and more.
