Madera Teak

Madera Teak carries the warm chestnut of teak with a rustic, textured grain. Eighteen random faces is the widest variation in this format, which means a retail floor or a restaurant can be laid without a repeating pattern showing up anywhere. Planks are 6 x 36 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 8 covering 11.62 sq ft at 22 kg. Teak is a boat and patio furniture wood in most people's minds, and Madera Teak brings that color indoors to a living room, bath or hallway without oiling or sanding. The tone sits well with white, sand and navy.
