Hardwood floors are a great option for any home. It adds a solid, warm and timeless feel to any home, and installing hardwood is a great way to enhance any room or an entire home. Teak wood floors are especially exceptional in terms of quality and appearance.

It is a type of hardwood that is known for its durability, weather resistant qualities, and cannot be easily invaded by insects and parasites that can possibly destroy the wood. There are even some varieties that are acid and fire resistant. This is mainly due to the natural oils found within the wood. Teak is among those chosen as the best wood material to build just about anything.

Teak is also coveted for its natural beauty. It doesn’t require additional staining or color to be added, and doing so would actually hamper its ability to repel both insects and water because it retains its natural oils. It comes in a variety of warm colors, from a golden yellow tan to a deep reddish brown. Lubrication is not required but can be used to further enhance colors and more specifically to showcase the beautiful patterns and natural color variations of teak.

There are several types of teak flooring including Burmese, Brazilian, and golden teak flooring. Like any other hardwood floor, teak needs a little care and attention to make it last a lifetime. Poor maintenance would mean destroying your precious floor. Frequent sweeping and mopping will suffice to protect it from stains and damage. Over time, the teak will begin to turn gray; this is perfectly natural and does not affect the strength of the wood. If you don’t like this color, you can use a teak cleaner that will remove the top coats and return the original natural colors.

Although this type of flooring is a bit pricey, it is worth the price due to its long usability and the homey feel it gives. Add a simple yet striking and timeless beauty to any home.
