Matkel teak sheets are available in both natural and treated options, depending on the product. Natural teak is durable and has natural resistance, while treated teak offers better stability in heat and humidity. For outdoor flooring or exposed facades in Riyadh and Jeddah, treated sheets are recommended. Always confirm treatment level and moisture content before installation.
Yes. Teak can handle Saudi heat and humidity if the thickness is suitable and moisture content stays under 20% before installation. In Jeddah and other humid Saudi cities, leave expansion gaps between sheets and use rust-resistant fasteners and adhesive. This helps reduce warping caused by expansion and contraction.
Matkel teak sheets come in common thicknesses such as 10, 20, 24, 25, and 30 millimeters. For indoor flooring, 10 or 20 millimeters is usually suitable. For facades and outdoor flooring, choose 25 millimeters or thicker. Select sheets with consistent colour and texture to avoid visible differences during installation.
Yes. Teak needs simple maintenance, such as regular cleaning and polishing once or twice a year, especially in exposed areas. Applying teak oil or a protective coating helps preserve colour and reduce drying, cracking, and discolouration. In coastal areas, check fasteners and expansion gaps every six months to ensure stability.
The base price usually covers the sheet material only. Custom sizes, delivery, or installation may be quoted separately. In Riyadh and Jeddah, delivery is commonly three to seven working days depending on stock and quantity. Shipping is based on sheet count, thickness, and distance.
