Teak Decking
About Teak Wood
Teak Decking surpasses all other woods for any outdoor use. This is because of the natural oils in tectona grandis, or true teak decking, which eliminate the need for preservatives and sealants.
- ETT Fine Woods provides our customers with the finest choice in teak decking materials.
- This First European Quality (FEQ) teak is kiln-dried, surfaced four sides (S4S), eased on four edges (E4E), and available in tongue-and-groove (T&G) for porch planks or pre-grooved for hidden fastener systems.
We also offer Marine Teak Decking, Teak Plywood, Teak Flooring, Teak Siding and Teak lumber.
Benefits of Teak
- A golden color, with dark markings and a straight grain.
- A non-skid surface, thanks to a coarse texture that is smooth to the touch, with virtually no raised grain.
- Little maintenance needed.
- The choice of finishing the wood to a preferred shade or simply leaving it to take on a natural silver-gray patina.
