Why Consider a Teak Shower Floor?
For the utmost in showering luxury there is the teak shower
floor. Teak is a tropical hardwood mostly grown in Indonesia
and Thailand. The wood contains natural oils that make it
strong and water resistant. When kiln dried natural teak becomes
even more water resistant. Teak flooring in the shower stall
is not just elegant and water resistant but practical as well.
Teak wood is resistant to mold and mildew, which makes it
a natural choice for the bathroom.
Teak flooring can certainly be expensive. If you're in no
position to rip up your existing shower floor and install
costly teak flooring consider a teak bath mat. Many companies
sell these mats which are actually teak wood panels made especially
for the shower. Even Wal-Mart sells teak shower mats, namely
the Pollenex Teak Shower Mat. This mat is vented and naturally
repels mold and mildew common to the shower. The ribbed texture
prevents slipping and makes showering comfortable on your
feet.
