Marine Timber Perth WA
Perth buyers trust Austim’s unrivalled knowledge to recommend the very best marine timber. That’s why we strongly back our genuine teak.
The experts in genuine teak
‘Genuine’ Teak only comes from trees with the scientific name Tectona grandis.
As WA’s only supplier of Burmese Teak, Austim has been the go-to for many of the large super yacht builders in WA. We supplied the decking for Greg Norman’s vessel and the re-fit of the Leeuwin Sailing Ship deck, to name a few.
Teak is also ideal for joinery applications, with many up market homes in WA fitted with joinery built using Austim Teak. Recently, the ‘Australian Institute of Architects Residential – New Home’ award – designed by Suzie Hunt and built by Gransden – used joinery manufactured by Abbott’solutely Timber.

Teak colour oxidisation
Teak when freshly cut or exposed can display significant colour variation, this is not unusual and is due to mineral and water stains and differences in environmental growing conditions. Whilst this colour variation can appear unsightly it is common with Teak and relatively easily remedied.
Teak has a remarkable reaction to UV light, within hours colours start to blend to an even light golden brown, this process is known as oxidisation. To speed up this process many manufacturers subject their finished products or boards to what they call a ‘Water Bath’ or ‘Sun Bath’.
Items are laid out in the sun to catch the UV and are washed down with water, this combination speeds up the oxidisation process and results in a more evenly coloured product. (See image)
