African Meranti? Oak, Teak?

[wends1123]

I posted awhile ago about timber and windows. We have finally chosen a window company, and they have given me a quote for African Meranti Timber. Does anyone know anything about it? I have not heard great things about Australian Meranti, but apparently African Meranti is better?

They also say they offer Oak and Teak, I have not found out exactly which type yet or how much they impact the price of the windows. Would either Oak or Teak be good for Windows?

Thanks for any input.

G'day mate,
I reckon you might be a candidate for our sister forum Renovate Forums

There are window guys over there who may give you a tradie's view of your timber choices.
