Teak Plywood

 

About Teak Plywood:

Teak import plywood is a premium plywood made by applying a veneer layer of teak wood, which is grown in regions such as Burma, Southeast Asia, and India. Known for its rich, golden-brown color and sometimes wavy grain, teak adds a unique aesthetic to the plywood. The wood is heavy, dense, and has a coarse texture, contributing to the plywood’s strength and durability. Teak’s natural oils make it resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, making it an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications, including high-end furniture, cabinetry, outdoor millwork, and boat building. Due to its limited growing regions and high demand, teak plywood is more expensive, but its superior durability and visual appeal make it a preferred choice for projects that require both functionality and style.
