One of the fads now a days is giving your bathroom a tropical touch to it, Bali style. People will try and infuse a sense of a high end spa by adding flower decorations, luxury towels, tiny wicker baskets for your toiletries or stone bowls, and wooden furniture such as a teak shower bench. These add-ons are essential to bring the Bali interior style to your bathroom.
Hardwood like teak is sourced from South East Asia, specifically Myanmar, Indonesia and Malaysia. It is because of teaks unique properties, such as an oil that helps resist moisture, that makes it ideal for bathroom furniture. Unlike other woods, mold won’t grow on it or a shower bench made out of teak will not warp out of shape. Teak can also be enhanced with elegant finishing oils, sealants and varnishing.
A teak shower bench can come in many different styles, each one suiting a particular need or bathroom space. There is the standard shower bench, a folding shower bench that can easily be kept or tucked away, a wall mounted bench, a corner teak shower bench that’s is a triangular shape that utilizes the overlooked corner area of the wall.
Cleaning and maintaining your bathroom furniture is a must. Because of teak’s durability, the only area you need to thoroughly clean is the floor underneath the legs. As well as any area in which the bench is in contact i.e. the wall. This is because as mold won’t grow on the teak wood itself, but can grow on these areas that are in contact with other surfaces.
A teak shower bench is a luxurious addition to a bathroom. It adds great convenience and comfort when taking showers. There are even benches available that have shelf space under them for your toiletries. Because of teaks unique properties, a shower bench made out of one will be highly durable and provide that luxury touch for a years to come.
