Superyacht breathable teak storage boxes

Crafting Bespoke Teak Boxes for a Remarkable M/Y
We are currently undertaking an exciting refit project for a >50m M/Y. One of the client’s specific requirements was the creation of custom Teak boxes to be installed in the beach club, serving as storage for yacht pillows, cushions, and canvas.
To fulfill this request, our skilled carpentry department meticulously crafted the boxes using high-quality Burmese Teak. The design called for breathable ventilation and an upper part matching the teak decking, complete with gray-colored seams. To achieve this, we employed the TDS caulking system for sealing the exterior seams, while the interior panels were securely sealed using West System epoxy.
As a final touch, we added stainless steel pneumatic pistons to facilitate effortless opening. These bespoke Teak boxes not only fulfill the functional requirement for storage but also seamlessly blend with the yacht’s overall aesthetic.

At PTW Shipyard, our attention to detail and dedication to quality craftsmanship ensure that every refit project surpasses expectations. Contact us today to discover how our expertise can elevate your yacht to new heights of luxury and style.

 

Superyacht Teak

The allure of superyacht teak is not only in its timeless elegance but also in its unparalleled durability and resistance to the harsh marine environment. Sourced from the tropical hardwood species Tectona grandis, this highly sought-after material is a staple in the world of luxury yachting. Its natural oils and tight grain structure ensure that it can withstand exposure to sun, salt, and water, making it an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications.

When it comes to crafting bespoke features for superyachts, meticulous attention to detail is paramount. The process of selecting the right teak is crucial, as the wood must be free of knots and imperfections to achieve a flawless finish. Expert artisans carefully match the grains and colors of the teak to create a seamless look, whether it’s used for decking, furniture, or trimmings.

Superyacht teak decking is renowned for its exceptional beauty and practicality. Its natural non-slip properties provide a safe and comfortable surface for guests to walk on, even in wet conditions. Each teak plank is carefully laid and meticulously caulked to create a smooth, seamless finish that enhances the yacht’s overall aesthetic appeal.

In addition to decking, superyacht teak is also commonly used for crafting exquisite furniture pieces onboard. From luxurious loungers on the sundeck to elegant dining tables in the saloon, teak furniture adds warmth, sophistication, and a touch of nautical charm to the yacht’s interior spaces.

Furthermore, superyacht teak is highly valued for its versatility in exterior applications. Whether adorning handrails, bulwarks, or cap rails, teak trimmings lend a classic, yacht-worthy look while offering unmatched durability against the elements.

To maintain the pristine condition of superyacht teak, regular care and maintenance are essential. This typically involves periodic cleaning, sanding, and resealing to protect the wood from UV damage and moisture ingress. With proper care, superyacht teak can retain its beauty and resilience for decades, further enhancing the allure and value of luxury yachts in the eyes of discerning owners and enthusiasts.
