from one another.

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 roots to 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,

GRADES OF TEAK : Hewn from the heartwood of a fully mature teak tree (40-80 years old), grade A teak is of the highest possible quality. It’s antibacterial and virtually immune to rotting. : Between the heartwood and the sapwood lies grade B teak. Of lesser quality, grade B teak contains considerably less oil than grade A teak, meaning it will require constant protective treatments.

It inherently has everything it needs to take care of itself. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a special 'teak cleaner' or 'teak oil' to take care of your teak – ever! In fact, once treated, there are no guarantees how the piece will handle itself when exposed to the elements.
