Materials we use

In our Prefab Timber House projects at Teak Bali, we primarily use 3 types of woods which are known for their strength and durability:

Because we send our prefab timber homes all over the world, Teak Bali only works with hardwoods which stand up to the elements in any environment. Beyond the visual appeal and uniqueness of the Teak, Merbau and Bangkirai timbers, the reason Teak Bali is attracted to these hardwoods is for their durability in use with Prefab Timber Homes.

In their natural state, these hardwoods are highly resistant to rot and insect attack. This is simply not the case with common conventional woods (Pine and Douglas Fir) normally used in domestic construction projects. For further info on Merbau and Bangkirai’s natural resistance to Termites, please reference a study commissioned by the University of Hawaii here: UH Termite Study.

All 3 hardwoods have high load bearing strength and durability, are hard and heavy with high shock resistance which is perfect for use in structural building projects. Merbau and Bangkirai are both ideal timbers to use for Prefab Timber Houses in hurricane territory as well when applied in a Post and Beam building style.

Key characteristics

  • durability to use for Prefab Timber Homes
  • highly resistant to rot and insect attack.
  • high load bearing strength and durability
  • hard and heavy with high shock resistance
  • versatile usage scenarios

Summary

Merbau and Bangkirai are an excellent choice for people who wish to use non-conventional building materials.  The versatility of both timbers, works well with any landscape, making it one of the most popular choices for creating Luxury Prefab Timber homes.

When it comes to fabricating Prefab timber homes, Teak Bali spares no expense. As part of our operation is based in Indonesia, we exercised to total control over the entire Production Life Cycle. This means hands-on quality control of the highest standards are maintained over every facet of the ordering/manufacturing and packaging process down to the final loading of the goods onto the shipping vessel.

For our high quality fabrication protocols, we collect the best tropical hardwoods at-source from legal logging concessions and Teak Bali maintains stringent grading systems of the final items chosen for our Teak Bali Luxury Prefab hardwood projects.

One of Teak Bali’s central benefits is the durability of our materials as well as our High Quality Fabrication Techniques. Hardwoods utilized by TEAK BALI, if treated right, will outlive our clients and their families.
