Size perfect Thought wood stain was going to be lighter but this has been finecleaning between slates may present difficulty Pleased with purchase The slats shrunk and no longer fit tightly. The mat still bleeds color or dye onto the shower pan a year after purchase. Slats do not feel very strong. Cool looking floor décor but pretty bad when I used it in the shower. Get's all moldy and filth underneath and would require a cleaning every 3 days or so. I shower a lot. Not good for use IN the shower. The rubber strips on the bottom just helped it slide more. It also squeaked when it slid, driving my dog nuts. This is a piece of junk - not worth $139.00!! Threw away the cardboard packing; thus cannot return it.Would highly recommend that you not purchase it. This is one off the best purchases ever on Amazon. Fits our shower perfectly and looks beautiful! See and discover other items: bath rug I love the idea of the luxurious texture of wood flooring in a shower.

Does this add significant maintenance/cleaning concerns to the shower? There are woods used in wet environments, mostly those that are fairly impervious to rot - teak, cedar, redwood, mahogony (less so). Untreated: Sometimes cedar, redwood and teak are left natural. In almost all these cases, they are not exposed to prolonged soaking. Even in saunas they are misted and then dried, not soaked the way a shower soaks.

Little Red Express Air Cleaner For SaleWhen they are left untreated, the wood weathers, loses its color and eventually becomes somewhat rough.
Wooden Garden Furniture North YorkshireCedar and redwood are fairly soft, and on a floor will wear out, probably quickly.

Teak will last longer but will roughen up and wear out eventually. Also untreated wood tends to hold water and is more prone to developing mold or organic growths, such as bacteria, especially in a shower that is not exposed to sunlight. Treated: These woods can be finished with a penetrating sealer or a hard marine finish, like spar varnish or the harder polyurethanes, or even an epoxy finish. Even then, these finishes need to be redone often, sometimes every year, depending on the amount of soaking and other wear. Finished or sealed Wood can be used in bathrooms where there is just an occasional spash or where the wet is quickly mopped up. I have hard pine floors finished with several coats of poly in my bathroom that works fine. My shower is a porcelain tub. On the whole, it would be very questionable to put wood in a shower floor. Disclaimer: There are some newer exotics used on outdoor decks such as ipe. I am not familiar with their waterproof characteristics, but even in deck use, the soaking is probably not as complete and frequent as a shower.

Sorry I didn't check back and see your question re: maintenance and cleaning, etc. I used ipe decking in my master bath shower, raised off the tile floor with rubber feet. I rinse the ipe off soap scum after every shower, this takes about 5-10 seconds. Every regular cleaning the wood is lifted out, tile cleaned normally. I have a hard brush to scrub off any residual soap scum on the ipe, there usually isn't any. Two adults use this shower daily, but the wood does dry out completely over the course of the day/night. It is not continuously wet. I've had the ipe for more than two years without issue, no mold or other concerns. Ipe is heavy, however, and removing it every week or two to clean the tile may be difficult.Browse other questions tagged shower hardwood-floor or ask your own question. Teak shower trays from MTI can not only be functional, but they can also enhance the aesthetics of the bathroom, contributing to a spa-like environment. They are comfortable under foot, emit a slight teak aroma during showering and allow soap and shampoo to drain through to the floor of the shower base.

MTI teak shower trays are designed to fit MTI acrylic shower bases precisely. Smartly designed with slats spaced 1/8" apart to ensure a comfortable, safe surface, the tray allows water and soap to run through, leaving behind no slippery residue. The slats are 1-3/8" wide by 1/2" thick and are permanently joined to the 3/4" x 3/4" teak support members with glue and countersunk marine-grade stainless steel screws. The undersides of the supports are finished with gripping rubber pads. Used in shipbuilding for centuries, genuine teak contains a natural oil to retard water and keep the wood from warping, cracking or becoming brittle. Genuine teak also has the natural ability to ward-off fungi, mold and mildew, making it an ideal choice for the moist, wet environment of the bath room. MTI teak shower trays are easily removable.
