A TRUSTED NAME

Our deck caulk was tested and selected for the refurbishment of the USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat. If it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for your project.

FEQ stands for First European Quality, the top grade of teak that MARITIME Wood Products sources, stocks, and mills. Every board is hand-selected and evaluated several times in the milling process, to ensure for tight grain, naturally high oil content, and very few knots or defects. That selection is why our teak stays dimensionally stable on a yacht deck far longer, and why it offers beautiful visual consistency across a deck, floor, or large interior. Builders throughout North America and the Caribbean order from MARITIME because we provide the same great quality, order after order.

Vertical (quarter-sawn) grain is cut so the growth rings run perpendicular to the face, which makes it the most dimensionally stable and even-wearing teak that MARITIME supplies. Flat (plain-sawn) grain shows a bolder cathedral figure and is often chosen for the look of a panel or interior. For exterior, moist, and high-traffic applications, MARITIME usually points customers to vertical grain because it moves less with changes in humidity. We will always take a value engineering approach, to provide you the best value and right material for the job.

Besides FEQ teak, MARITIME stocks sapele, ipe, wenge, maple, walnut, American black cherry and white ash, with additional species brought in regularly on request. Every species is available as rough lumber or precision-milled to your exact specifications. We also supply marine plywood, including teak and teak-and-holly faced plywood. From our mill in Stuart, Florida, MARITIME ships our hardwoods to boat builders, refit yards, and architectural contractors worldwide.

Yes, marine plywood is a popular product that MARITIME supplies, including teak and teak-and-holly plywood. We carry it in the common sheet sizes and thicknesses that marine and architectural projects call for, and we can source specific cores or faces to match a job, just let us know. When MARITIME is milling solid stock for you, the plywood species can be requested to match the milled lumber, so the finished work reads as one material. Our marine-grade plywood ships from our Stuart, Florida yard alongside the rest of your order.

Custom milling is at the core of every MARITIME job, so lumber can be supplied rough, surfaced, edged or precision-milled to your exact specification. We can replicate a profile or pattern you send us, resaw special wood you bring in, or search our vast inventory when a specific board has to be matched or provided in multiples. We also work with builders and designers via email, and from a photo MARITIME can match the species, grain and color of an existing floor, deck, or interior. This board-by-board matching is what refit yards and independent carpenters count on when a repair has to disappear into the original work.

MARITIME sources teak and hardwoods independently and globally, selecting only the logs and lumber that meet our own standards and grade. All material is 100% Lacey Act compliant, backed by a responsible supply chain and chain of custody. MARITIME handles the import and export paperwork, phytosanitary requirements, and customs clearance so a customers’ order moves cleanly to its destination. That compliance protects our builder customers whether the wood travels across the country or across the world from our Stuart, Florida facility.

Premium hardwood pricing depends on species, grade, dimensions, available lengths, quantities, and milling requirements. Rather than publish generic prices that may not reflect your needs, MARITIME provides the most competitive price tailored to your specifications. We draw on our extensive experience, large inventory, and daily production schedule to find opportunities to deliver the best possible value to our customers.
