Sustainably harvested Teak and Guanacaste timber kiln-dried to 10-12% equilibrium moisture content for structural beams, siding, and luxury decking.
“Green timber sold from roadside sawmills twists and cracks within 60 days under Guanacaste sun. Specifying certified 10-12% kiln-dried teak guarantees crisp joints, zero cupping, and a flawless architectural finish.”
Scientifically dried in solar kilns. Prevents twisting, cupping, and shrinkage after installation in Guanacaste.
Dense grain structure naturally repels Pacific termites, rot, and fungal decay without chemical pressure treating.
Harvested from responsibly managed reforestation plantations in the Nicoya Peninsula.
Four-sided clear heartwood grain with warm honey-amber patina that silvers gracefully over time.

Compare performance metrics against standard conventional construction materials in Costa Rica's tropical coastal climate.
| Engineering Metric | FSC Teak & Guanacaste Lumber | Conventional Alternative A | Conventional Alternative B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture Content Verification | 10-12% Precision Kiln-Dried | 25-35% Green unseasoned wood (warps) | Air-dried with uneven core moisture |
| Termite & Decay Resistance | Natural teak oils & dense grain barrier | Prone to dry-wood termite attack | Requires toxic chemical pressure treat |
| Dimensional Stability | Minimal thermal movement across seasons | Severe cupping, shrinking, and screw pop | Moderate cracking along exposed faces |
| Environmental Certification | FSC 100% Plantation Grown (Costa Rica) | Often illegal or unverified harvest | Imported pine with high shipping carbon |
| Lifespan in Marine Coastal Setting | 30+ Years with simple oil maintenance | 4-7 Years before structural rot | 10-15 Years with frequent chemical staining |
