Burmese Teak Mat

We recently worked with a local client looking to elevate her shower floor to sit level with her shower floor. This would allow her to step into her shower without having to take a large step down into it.

She wanted to make it easier to utilize her shower as well as her shower bench in the area. When the builder made the shower pan they made it deep and the shower bench was too tall to sit on comfortably. By adding the Teak Shower Mat this elevated the floor roughly 2″ taller allowing the customer more ease when using the shower.

Benefits of a Teak Shower Mat

  • Slip resistant- Teak has a natural silica built into the wood which allows the wood a slight grip once water hits the wood
  • This works best in wet environments such as indoor/outdoor showers and boats
  • Teak is mold and mildew resistant. No pests, bugs or mildew will penetrate the wood. This property allows the teak to be resistant to these common traits with some species. The natural silica built into the wood repels these such variables
  • There is little maintenance of the teak mat as long as it is cleaned regularly
  • Using warm water, a soft bristle brush and dawn dish soap every few weeks will help maintain the integrity of the floors lifespan
  • There are many options as to leaving the teak in its natural state vs. adding oil to the floor
  • Although adding oil to the floor is an additional sealant for the floor it is not necessary due to its natural silica content built into the wood
  • We always say once you start the oiling process you must maintain it. A good rule of thumb is to reapply every 6-12 months depending on how much use the floor receives daily.
