Unfinished Solid Teak Wooden Floorings

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.

Quality and processing

Solid teak, sanded surface, unfinished, 4x tongue-groove connection, not beveled on longitudinal and transverse sides.
