what we do
Florida Teak imports top quality old-growth teak from East Africa and native sources in India. We have a limited inventory of pre-sanction Burmese teak secured before political instability. Genuine old growth FEQ grade teak is the gold standard in yacht construction.
We carry FSC Certified teak – Tectona Grandis. It is the first choice of discerning architects and marine professionals due to its beauty, durability and unmatched resistance to water bugs and rot. This makes teak the ideal wood for outdoor applications.
Our primary source of FSC controlled old growth teak is from India. The quality is comparable to Burmese teak, the main difference being shorter stock and more limited in vertical grain options. We operate our own sawmill in Tanzania, Africa, producing sustainably grown teak from one of the world’s oldest plantations.
We now offer FSC certified Tali lumber for architectural work especially patio decks, siding, dock building and flooring. This is great alternative to Brazilian Ipe an Cumaru with very attractive color and extreme durability.
Note: We do not handle South American origin teak it is too “young” and of lower quality
