Wooden Panelling — Species

Teak

The gold standard of hardwoods — warm, richly grained and naturally built to last, indoors and out.

The timeless one

Warm, richly grained, built to last

Teak wears a golden-to-medium-brown heartwood that deepens beautifully with age — a straight, confident grain and a faint natural sheen that reads instantly as premium. It is the wood designers reach for when a space needs warmth and gravitas.

Rich in natural oils and silica, Tectona grandis is prized worldwide as the luxury hardwood — dimensionally stable, easy to finish, and famously resilient.

Why teak

Three reasons it earns the name

★

Very durable

Rated very durable for decay resistance — the benchmark other hardwoods are measured against, and naturally termite-resistant.

◈

Natural oils

Built-in oils and silica give teak its weather resilience and that unmistakable soft, warm lustre — with minimal upkeep.

▲

Ages beautifully

Golden when fresh, teak settles into a deeper honeyed brown over time — or holds its tone with a simple sealed finish.

Where it works

Indoors and out

  • Feature walls & luxury interiors
  • Ceilings & soffits
  • Facades & exterior cladding
  • Bathrooms, spas & humid areas
Exterior-ready

Unlike most hardwoods, natural teak is rated very durable — its oils and density let it face sun, rain and humidity without chemical treatment. The classic choice for facades, decks and weather-exposed walls.
