I want a Teak door, but what is Teak?

Teak comes from a hardwood tree of tropical origin. It is resident to South Asia and some of South East Asia, and is generally found as a constituent of heavy rain forest vegetation. This kind of wood is used in the production of outdoor furniture, luxury doors and other items that are required to be weather proof. It is also commonly used for flooring indoors. Teak is worked easily, looks very attractive, and contains pure oils which enable it to be used in exposed areas. The best type of Teak is old Teak wood, which is more hard-wearing and robust.
