Although teak has historically been used primarily in boating, it is becoming more prevalent in residential and commercial applications. Teak, cultivated in tropical regions, has been used since the 18th century.

The sap of the teak tree preserves the wood when cut, making it durable and restorative. It is resistant to extreme climates, fungus and insects. Teak is also able to weather without preservatives or sealants, and will season to an attractive gray patina. Teak can also easily be restored to its original golden-brown color, even after being left untreated for years.
