Stability of teak logs

Teak Tectona grandis is a precious hardwood known for its excellent stability and durability. The stability of teak is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

Low shrinkage and expansion: Teak has a very low water absorption rate, which means that it expands less in a wet environment and contracts less in a dry environment. This characteristic makes teak products, such as furniture, flooring, etc., the possibility of deformation under different humidity conditions is greatly reduced.

Weather resistance: Teak is rich in natural oils and resins, which give it excellent weather resistance against moisture, decay, termites and other pests. Even when used outdoors, teak remains in good condition and does not crack or rot easily.

Corrosion resistance: Teak is very resistant to a variety of chemicals, including seawater and industrial chemicals, which makes it an ideal material for shipbuilding and Marine structures.

Long-term durability: Due to all the above characteristics, teak products can stand the test of time and last long. The teak elements in many historic buildings have remained in good condition even after hundreds of years, proving their excellent stability.

Color stability: Over time, teak will gradually change from the initial light yellow or gold to a beautiful silver gray, this natural discoloration process does not affect its wood structure, but adds a unique aesthetic. Although this is not "color stability" in the traditional sense, this change is uniform and expected, and does not affect its aesthetics or performance in use.

In summary, the stability of teak is reflected in its ability to adapt to environmental changes, long-term durability and continuous performance in aesthetics, which together establish the status of teak as a high-end wood.
