Teak Products
We grow our teak plantations in the states of Para and Mato Grosso in northern Brazil. We typically harvest our trees between 20 -23 years maturity and mill to produce finished products including flooring, decking, and cladding. We also produce clean sizes and rough boards for export into international market.

Grading Rules
Prime Grade: Typically, prime grade has few, if any knots, and these will be of minimal size. There will also be a minimal amount of sapwood defects and filler, if any at all.
Select Grade: Typically this will have a mix of almost prime boards with other planks which have more or larger knots. Heartwood and colour variation in the timber should be expected and there may be some sapwood and filler.
Character Grade: Typically, character grade will include both heartwood and sapwood and allows a wider range of colour variation. Knots are larger and you should expect checks (cracks across the growth ring) and possibly some end shake (cracks between the rings), filler will be used.
