We supply reclaimed solid teak, often more than 100 years old.

We buy old whole teak houses, then stocking and supplying the teak to home builders, developers, property management companies, hotels, resorts, spas, restaurants, clubs, furniture wholesalers, importers, retailers, architects, interior designers and private customers worldwide.



Reclaimed or old teak wood does not "move", expanding or contracting which is often what happens with young or kiln-dried plantation teak.



Reclaimed solid old teak also has more elaborate, more beautiful grains, is harder and more durable, offering our customers a lifetime of maintenance free beauty.



We measure all our reclaimed teak with a wood humidity meter. Reclaimed old teak has moisture content of not more than 3%, compared to an average of 11% for kiln-dried plantation teak.



We export furniture made from handgraded reclaimed solid teak all over the world, with no problem even to for example, Hamburg, Germany during winter months, where temperatures can drop to minus 30 degrees during transit in the seaport. This proves that reclaimed teak is resilient to extreme temperature changes.



Teak wood (Tectona Grandis) is commonly considered by ship builders and outdoor furniture manufacturer's to be the planet's most versatile, durable, and valuable hard wood. <br>



Teak forests are highly regulated due to the increased demand, ecological and economical impact, and often sub-standard working conditions on plantations. It is not a rain forest species; growing in deciduous forests at a yield of only 3-5 trees per acre.



Thus, it is a precious resource across the globe. However, there are only four countries in the world that contain natural teak forests; Burma, Laos, India, and Thailand, with Burma (Myanmar) accounting for approximately 80% of the world's exported natural teak supply.



Teak is a dense, coarse, close-grained hardwood. It contains high levels of resinous oils that allow it to be naturally resistant to moisture, repellent to insects, and impervious to the drying effects of weather.



Teak also contains silica, a sand-like component which creates a density to the wood that allows it to also be resistant to fungal decay, water, rotting, warping, shrinking, swelling and many damaging chemicals.



It will not rust or corrode metals it comes in contact with and it can withstand the elements of all seasons, with its beauty increasing with its age.



No other wood compares to teak regarding its durability, elegance, stability and low maintenance; making it the ultimate material choice for furniture construction and ship building worldwide.
