Whether you are into the green, renewable movement or just
appreciate antique materials, the reclaimed teak being used today may interest
you.
Teak is a southeast Asian tropical tree. The components of
the oils in the wood make it water, decay, insect and bacteria resistant.
Reclaimed teak is previously used wood that originates from
old Dutch colonial buildings in Indonesia. The wood is reclaimed when the
buildings are demolished and the wood is saved for reuse.
One of the ways this wood is being reused is to make hardwood flooring. Teak flooring is available in both
solid and engineered styles by
Indo Teak Design.
Since teak is water and decay resistant, it has long been
used for outdoor use, such as outdoor furniture, even boats.
Now, this reclaimed teak is being also made into decorative wall
tiles. These give a unique, but natural, warm feel to your room. A supplier
of these teak tiles is Walker Zanger’s Anteak (nice play on words, since
the reclaimed wood is antique). These
teak tiles can be paired with ceramic tiles to create a beautiful and soothing
look.
Stop in to the Tile Gallery’s showroom, or call us to set up
an appointment to see samples and get more information.
