Project Details

The client reached out looking for a Shower matt made from Sapele hardwood. This was to match the existing Mahogany he had throughout his current boat. He wanted to utilize the matt for his interior bath.

We pulled multiple boards of Sapele to achieve the size needed for this size floor. We then milled the material to the desired thickness and width then cut to length. Next we sorted through each batten to ensure quality of each piece.

After selecting the battens we laid up each batten and sorted based on grain pattern and color. The floor was then assembled to size accounting for the 1/4″-1/2″ variance to allow the floor to drop in to place and lift up to clean the underside of the floor.

The next process we sanded smooth then added Mineral oil to the floor for sealant. This application will need to be reapplied every 6-12 months due to the amount of use for floor.
