Teak is one of the most commonly used materials in the nautical industry. It is a precious and highly durable wood, ideal for withstanding the weather conditions and atmospheric agents that challenge the maintenance of a vessel. Osculati's online catalog offers a wide range of Teak products, from planks for deck and deck covering to various accessories.Teak wood is obtained from specific tropical trees belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Their natural ecosystem is the tropical and subtropical forests of the Indian subcontinent, where the climate alternates between dry and wet seasons. The extreme conditions in which it grows give this wood the perfect characteristics to face the adversities of the sea: it is waterproof and has a natural oily-resinous component that protects it from moisture, saltwater, insects, fungi, and chemicals.The trunks of these trees can reach heights of over 40 meters, and their color varies in warm shades of brown with golden and bronze hues, all interspersed with consistent veins. In addition to being an extremely durable material, it adds a touch of style and elegance to the vessel. Teak is primarily used to cover the most exposed areas of the boat, such as the deck and deck covering. In addition to planks in various sizes for flooring, Osculati offers various accessories to decorate your boat, including storage compartments, portholes, tables, chairs, and much more.Maintenance, of course, plays a fundamental role in preserving the resistance, elegance, and longevity of this material. Simply clean it with warm fresh water using soft-bristle brushes to prevent vein damage.
