It leads to the historical change in Nilambur furniture.
Well-Seasoned & Treated Wood
In Tekwood, we provide well-seasoned and treated teak wood, which makes the best teak wood furniture. The cut tree trunks are sawed into uniform sizes and shapes for designs where the damaged and unusable parts are cut out. To remove the sawdust and other particles of the dust, it's dipped into the plain water. After the dipping, these sawn planks are stored in a compact cylinder. After the removal of air, a chemical agent is infused into it. Now, the cylinder is filled with chemical air and kept for some time at high pressure. The air is released after exposing the wood planks to pressure and chemical curing for some time.
Once the process is finished, the planks are removed from the cylinder, and the treated timber is dried under a controlled atmosphere and temperature in a closed room. It improves the strength of the timber and makes it termite, borer, and insect resistant. This process reduces the shrinkage to its minimum and improves the firmness.
