What is the difference between teak, solid wood and oak and what are the main uses?

Teak (scientific name: Tectona grandis, also known as annatto, purple teak, blood tree, etc.), is a deciduous or semi-deciduous large tree, the tree is 40-50 meters high, DBH meters, and the trunk is straight. The bark is brown or gray, the branches are quadrangular, covered with stellate hairs.

The leaves are opposite, very large, ovate or elliptic, densely covered with grayish-yellow stellate hairs on the back. The panicles are broad, blooming in autumn, the flowers are white and aromatic. Teak is a tropical tree species that requires high temperatures and is found vertically in low hills and plains at altitudes of 700-800 meters.

It can be used as medicine, and it is also a material for making high-end furniture flooring and indoor and outdoor decoration. Teak is known as a national treasure of Myanmar, so it is quite expensive. The teak material itself has beautiful texture lines and contains gold wire, so it is also called gold teak.

Oak, also known as Quercus, is a genus in the family Fagaceae. There are 600 species in the genus Quercus, of which 450 species are from the subgenus Quercus and 150 are from the subgenus Cyanobana. The oak tree has a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown heart, with distinct growth rings and a slightly wavy shape, and is widely used for decorating veneers and making wine barrels.

They are found in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Oak belongs to Quercus japonica, belongs to the beech family, the heart of the tree is yellow-brown to reddish-brown, the growth wheel is obvious, slightly wavy, and the drying is slow; The color, texture, characteristics and properties of red oak will change with the place of origin, the southern red oak grows faster than the northern red oak, usually according to the production area and divided into the north and the south for sale, the color of the southern wood is reddish, there is a color difference, suitable for darker coating products; The color of the northern material is light red, white, and the color is uniform, suitable for light-colored products, and the price difference between the north and the south is large.

Both teak and oak are solid woods.

Generally in 2-3 mm, of course thick is good! The panel should be polished, and the thin and easy to expose the bottom panel is generally solid wood, that is, the bark is peeled off and processed into a panel teak, which is just a color, and there are subdivided colors such as Thai pomelo.

Oak and teak are also a truth.

Solid wood is mainly based on tree trunks, rarely with colors, solid wood is divided into pure solid wood, easy to crack. There are also laminated timber and osson boards, which belong to machined composite solid wood, which is characterized by no cracking.

The panel is generally weighed with a bottom, and then the panel is pasted and painted.

The characteristics are also that it will not crack, and the disadvantages are not as good as solid wood to look high-grade, and there is no solid wood to protect the environment.

Oak (the so-called red oak and white oak are of the same material, but the color is a little different) and teak are both hardwoods, which are high-grade hardwoods in the furniture decoration industry.

Oak is a temperate tree species that is mainly found in North America and Europe; Teak is a tropical tree species, mainly from Southeast Asia.

There are great differences in the physical indicators and wood properties of the two, but the difference between the left and right thick thin veneer used in wood veneer is only in appearance, wood grain and color, and has nothing to do with the material.

Due to the difference in appearance color and wood grain, its decorative effect is different

Teak is mostly used in Southeast Asian and Chinese style decoration, while American and European style decoration is mostly used in oak.

For wood veneer panels with the same base material and the same thickness, the market sales price of the two is about the same, almost a few dollars.
