Teak Wood – by Limra Timbers

Weather-Resistant | Iconic Grain | Built to Endure

Teak Wood, botanically known as Tectona grandis, is globally renowned as one of the finest and most durable tropical hardwoods. Long favored in shipbuilding, luxury furniture, and outdoor architecture, Teak stands out for its exceptional resistance to weather, decay, and insects — thanks to its high natural oil and silica content.

Its golden to dark brown heartwood develops a rich patina over time, while its straight-to-wavy grain and naturally smooth texture make it both functional and visually striking. Teak performs excellently in humid, coastal, and high-traffic environments without warping, cracking, or losing integrity — offering decades of performance with minimal maintenance.

At Limra Timbers, we supply premium-grade, seasoned Teak wood tailored to the needs of high-end construction, marine use, and luxury craftsmanship. Responsibly sourced and export-ready, our Teak is processed for dimensional stability, consistent grain, and a superior finish — making it a top choice for architects, designers, and timber buyers who seek timeless strength and beauty in every build.

Key Features:

  • Janka Hardness: Approx. 1,000–1,155 lbf – moderately hard and easy to machine
  • Density (Seasoned): ~650–750 kg/m³ – balanced strength and weight
  • Color & Appearance: Golden to deep brown heartwood; matures to a rich patina
  • Grain & Texture: Straight to slightly wavy grain; smooth, oily texture
  • Durability: Highly resistant to termites, rot, and moisture – even in coastal or humid climates
  • Sustainability: Sourced from responsibly managed plantations; naturally long-living wood
