Zimbabwe Teak Flooring

Zimbabwe Teak ( Baikiaea Plurijuga), previously known as Rhodesian Teak and now known as Mukusi, is found only in the Kalahari Sands region of Southern Africa. It produces two distinct colours of timber when sawn and processed:

The Heartwood is chestnut brown in colour and matures to a characteristic rich and attractive dark red.

The Sapwood is pale cream in colour and matures to a delicate pink, blending in with the dark red of the Heartwood. If both Sapwood and Heartwood are combined in the same product, we call the mixture of colours 'Savannah', reflecting, as they do, the light and shade of our Savannah Woodland.
