Growth

Teak is deciduous wood, tropical tree from family Lamiaceae. Most of teak trees grow to an average height of 9-11m with a trunk diameter of 1-1, 5m.

Origin

Teak is from Myanmar and grows also in India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Java. It spread partially to Malaysia, Borneo, Philippines, to tropical Africa and Central America.

Appearance

Real Burmese teak has narrow, light yellow-brown sapwood and dark gold-brown wood which darkens outside on the surface to medium or dark brown. Burmese teak has mostly direct fibration. Javanese teak unlike Burma teak has more lively structure, wider colour range and more various structure.

Characteristics

Teak wood has density after drying from 610 to 690kg/ m3, on average 640kg/m3. It dries slowly and keeps a good stability when used. Teak has medium bending strength, low solidity and impact resistance, high compression strength, and is suitable for bending within medium scope. Teak is suitable for shaping. The floor parts are designed to be glued down on the whole area of laying. After laying it is necessary to carry out the whole floor surface regrinding with sandpaper 150. For the whole floor gluing we recommend to use a polyurethane adhesive KIESEL BAKIT PU-P which will ensure that even a highly oily wood such as Teak will not tear away in the course of use and the stickiness will not be disturbed.

Origin

The wood grows in South-East Asia, in particular Indonesia and Malaysia in areas close to the shore and in higher locations up to 400 meters above sea level.

Appearance

Heartwood is brown-grey to dark red-brown with various tints. The colour differences between individual boards are natural and common and form a very attractive appearance for demanding interiors.

Characteristics

This wood has almost balanced texture free from defects and sap. The wood contains high level of resin indicated in the occurrence of gold-yellow veining. The wood is very hard and has long lifetime due to high density and contained substances. Wood density: 850-1, 100kg/m³ For the whole floor gluing we recommend to use a polyurethane adhesive KIESEL BAKIT PU-P which will ensure that even a highly oily wood such as Merbau will not tear away in the course of use and the stickiness will not be disturbed.

Growth

European oak grows to a height of 18-30m with a diameter of 1.2-1.8m.

Appearance

Sapwood is lighter than core wood which is also lighter, yellow-brown, usually straight grain but often irregular or transversely grained. The radial cut shows a characteristic silverish design caused by wide rays and it has a slightly rough texture.

Characteristics

Density of European oak after drying is 720-750kg/m3. Medium hard wood has a medium bending and pressure strength, low solidity and impact resistance and is very suitable for bending. Oak causes metal corrosion and in a moist environment the contact with metal produces blue to black spots on the wood. Oak contains significant amounts of tannins 12-20% - catechins and ellagitannins. It also contains flavonoids and purpurogalin, i.e. the redness of oak bark. For the whole floor gluing we recommend to use an elastic adhesive KIESEL BAKIT EK or polyurethane adhesive BAKITO PU-P.
