Quartercut / Quarter-Sawn
Quarter-sawn teak displays a straighter, more vertical grain pattern and provides greater dimensional stability across the board width.
Technical quartercut and quarter-sawn teak decking for professional yacht builders, refit yards, boat manufacturers and marine distributors. Available in standard and project-specific dimensions with international supply, legal timber documentation and adaptable specifications.
Quartercut teak is produced by orienting the cut so that the growth rings run predominantly perpendicular to the face of the board. The result is the straight vertical grain widely associated with premium yacht decking.
The terms quartercut teak, quarter cut teak, quarter-sawn teak and quarter sawn teak are all commonly used internationally for this cutting orientation.
For professional yacht projects, the value of quartercut teak extends beyond appearance. Grain orientation, dimensional stability, moisture condition, board dimensions, profile, material selection and consistency all influence the final deck.
The difference begins with how the board is cut relative to the tree's growth rings. That cutting orientation influences both appearance and dimensional behaviour.
Quarter-sawn teak displays a straighter, more vertical grain pattern and provides greater dimensional stability across the board width.
Flat-sawn timber generally displays broader and more varied grain patterns. It remains useful for many timber applications but provides a different appearance and dimensional behaviour.
Standard dimensions provide a starting point. Project-specific requirements can be reviewed according to available raw material, dimensions and requested machining.
