Variegated Rhodesian Teak is a high quality timber with lots of character. Also known as the 'king of woods', it is a beautiful reddish-brown. The variegation comes from the contrasting pale sapwood which is of equal hardness as the heartwood. In addition there are hues of plum, brown and grey making it a most appealing floor. Rhodesian Teak originates from East and Southern Africa and you can learn more about this species on our wood species web-page. This is a classic 1950s size for variegated Rhodesian Teak. It has a tongue and groove profile.

8 15/16" long 2 5/8" wide x 3/4" thick
(228 mm by 67 mm by 20 mm).

Please note: In the description we use Imperial dimensions because that is how the blocks were originally milled. Metric dimensions are rarely an exact match. We sell in multiples of 1 sq m above the minimum purchase of 5 sq m – if you need a smaller quantity please contact the office directly. If you just want to do an infill area , we will try to match the size and species for you. In order to use this service, we will ask for good photos in focus to be emailed with all three dimensions of the parquet block and your full contact details please. In addition, you may need to send us an original block that we are matching. Please be ready to do this as it helps a lot with identification.

Condition

These variegated Rhodesian Teak blocks have tongue and groove fixings. The parquet may have a dry glue on the surface which will sand off with a coarse grit paper. Before buying your parquet we recommend you request a sample so you know what to expect.

There is a layer of tacky bitumen on the bases. The professional adhesives available these days will fuse with the bitumen and stick successfully without the necessity of removal. You can buy our recommended adhesive SikaBond 5500s on our website.

The blocks will require some preparation, prior to laying, particularly along the edges. This will give a tight fit and therefore a better finish. The floor will need several good sanding passes after the completion of the block laying.
