Below we answer the most common questions to help you make an informed decision and upgrade your outdoor space today. What is the difference between Grade A and high street teak? The difference is found in the heart of the tree. Grade A teak is taken from the center of the log where the natural oils and rubber are most concentrated. This makes the wood naturally resistant to water pests and rot without the need for chemical treatments. High street alternatives often use Grade C wood which is softer and prone to splitting.
