Proteak countertops are the answer for the consumer who appreciates the natural beauty and durability of teak as well as the green appeal of a renewable wood. Proteak Renewable Foresty introduces finely crafted teak counters and islands with striking wood grain patterns and superior construction.

Proteak countertops  and islands showcase the rich tones and geometric simplicity of beautiful teak wood grain patterns, offering a unique alternative to other countertop materials. The interplay of dark heartwood and light sapwood creates a sophisticated look that is available in end-, face- and edge-grain styles, either finished or unfinished.

Teak is an extremely durable tropical hardwood that will withstand the wear and tear of kitchen life. As consumer demand grows for eco-friendly housing alternatives, teak takes center stage as a renewable wood product that stores carbon, permanently removing it from the atmosphere.

Proteak is committed to environmentally and socially responsible forestry practices and cultivates more than 7,000 acres of organic teak plantations on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. This is the closest quality teak source to the continental United States, dramatically reducing the energy and emissions required for transportation versus traditional teak suppliers in Southeast Asia.

Proteak guarantees that all its plantations are sustainably grown, legally harvested and in compliance with rigorous environmental standards. The company has received a Forest Management Certificate from the Forest Stewardship Council.
