If you want to equip your bathroom with durable wooden furniture then teak bathroom furniture should be your first choice. Teak is the best wooden material for bathroom furniture because of its high oil content and naturally occurring rubber.

All this makes it the ideal material for boat, pool, and bathroom furniture.

Another great advantage of the high oil content is its great resistance insect attacks, rotting, and fungi.

The rubber content makes its surface to be non-slipping in wet conditions and that’s why teak is often used in boat building.

Teak is one of the most durable woods when it comes to changes in moisture and temperature. It is also very flexible, therefore not prone to cracking when it’s bent as other types of wood. Plus, it requires minimum maintenance and forms a natural non-slipping coat, unlike other types of wood and other materials used for bathroom furniture.

That’s why teak is much used in so-called “marine” application because it can withstand harsh sea conditions for years.

Teak bathroom furniture care is simple

Wash it with salt water from time to time. No need to use preservatives and chemicals, as this will only shorten its life.

When you want to give it a refresh, you can re-oil it with teak oil, but it is advisable to do so once in a few years.

A lot of teak bathroom furniture comes with a warranty for several years, which is the best proof of its durability and makes it a great investment.

Though teak furniture prices are somewhat higher than other wooden furniture, this is well-justified with its longevity.

When you invest in one of these pieces, you can be assured that you won’t have to think about replacing it for many years.

Teak bathroom stoolThere are three common options when it comes to finishes of the teak furniture. It can be natural/unfinished, sealed and pre-weathered.

Natural or unfinished teak tends to turn to silvery gray color over time. The sealed finish makes sure that the original, golden brown color of the wood stays preserved.

Preweathered finish means that the teak color has already been turned to silvery. All this is a matter of taste and has no effect on the durability of the furniture.

Let’s see which types of bathroom furniture can be made of this precious wood and why they are a smart choice for any bathroom, spa or poolside.
