NATURAL GRADE A TEAK IS ...
HOW TREES GROW AND WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU
Teak wood is available in 3 different quality grades: A, B, and C. This is important to
know because the grade of the teak wood plays a key role in the performance and
durability of the furniture it 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 (the 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 transports water from the
roots to the leaves, making it the wettest part of the tree. 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 that help protect itself from mold, mildew or insects. So just how can you tell
this wood apart?
