  - The Burmese Teak which is pure heartwood from mature Teak trees grown in the Indonesia/South East Asia region. Heartwood Teak provides an elegant piece with unique grain patterns and a beautiful rich color giving any area an immediate WOW factor. The high silica content in teak makes it an ideal wood to use when a slip resistant surface is needed and the natural oil makes the wood resistant to mold and mildew.
• Plantation Teak:
  - The FSC certified Plantation Teak comes from trees harvested from an actual plantation of younger Teak trees. Since we only use the heartwood of the tree, it has all the same qualities of old growth Burmese Teak but it is a little lighter in color and requires a little more maintenance.
• Teakworks4u hand crafts its products from teak that is harvested under strict social, economic and environmental standards

• Benefits of Using Teak Wood
  - Teak Wood is the perfect choice for a product that will be in a wet atmosphere.
  - First, Teak trees absorb silica from the sandy soil that they grow in. This silica makes the wood naturally slip-resistant. After being sanded, the wood for the Teak Bench is smooth and gentle, especially to bare skin.
  - The wood used for the Teak Bench is taken from the heartwood of the Teak tree. This wood is not only the hardest and most durable on the tree, but the natural colors are vivid and beautiful with unique grain textures.
  - The heartwood also produces an oil that gives a natural shine to the wood without any varnish. The oil coating the wood also guards against water which reduces decay, rot, bacteria, and mold that could occur from a wet atmosphere, making the perfect bench for a bathroom setting.
  - Because every tree has a slightly different coloration, the Teak products have slight variations in color.
  - See in images for an estimate of the coloring that could occur.
  - This creates a product that is unique and one of a kind.
• Maintenance:
  - Because of all the organic benefits of Teak wood, maintenance is very easy
  - In some settings, though, a natural build-up of soap or dirt could occur. To remedy this, use a soft-bristled brush, water, and gentle soap mixture to carefully clean the Teak. Then simply rinse and allow to air dry to restore the natural beauty of Teak wood.
