NATURAL GRADE A TEAK IS ...
HOW TREES GROW AND WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU
Teak wood is available in 3 different quality grades, A, B, and C. This is important to
know as the grade of the teak wood plays a key role in the performance and durability of
the furniture is made into.
At first glance, you might think all teak looks the same. But remember, looks can be
deceiving!
Let’s look at what makes the grades different from one another. But first, a quick lesson
on trees.
1. Trees grow out from their center. This makes the heartwood (center of the tree) the
oldest, the strongest and the most oil rich part of the tree.
2. The outer layers are greenwood (or sapwood).
Sapwood is the part of the tree that transports water from the roots to the leaves,
making it the wettest part. It is not old enough to have developed any natural oil.
Why does this matter? Because wet wood warps and contains none of the natural
properties to protect itself from mold, mildew or insects. So just how can you tell this
wood apart?
