Teak is exclusive, beautiful and lovely to walk on. But it is also expensive, heavy and hard to get hold of. The world`s teak–reservoirs are not infinite. There are artificial alternatives to teak, but not all have got a great acceptance.

The product is made out of recycled plastic and has got a convincing similarity to genuine high quality teak.

We have with our own eyes seen that you can spill wine as well as oil on the material without ruining it. Wood would have had permanent damages after the same treatment.

Flexiteek does not require a lot of maintenance, and can be washed with a high–pressure hose.
