At AquaTeak, we build all of our furniture out of premium, solid teak wood. Teak has always been a prized material because of its elegant beauty and functional perfection. Native to the tropics, teak wood is naturally water resistant and does not rot the way other woods do. It is incredible durable and has a natural strength that other woods lack. Beginning in the 7th century, teak was used to make furniture for the wealthy and powerful and was a sign of power. There are several reasons that we exclusively use teak wood to construct our furniture and have created a furniture business dedicated to the beauty of this fine wood. Our best selling products are our shower benches. Our teak shower benches can improve your home and here are a few ways how:

Versatility

Don’t let the product name fool you! Our teak shower benches are not limited to the shower. Because teak wood is water resistant, our shower benches are great for accent patio furniture because they can stand up to any weather mother nature throws our way. If your home has a pool or hot tub, our teak benches are an elegant alternative to a cheap plastic bench or a rusting metal one. Just because our shower benches can get wet, safely, doesn’t mean that they have to! Other uses include accent benches, corner tables, additional seating, or double as an end table or night stand.

Stylish

Our teak shower benches look great with nearly every interior decor style. The simple elegance of the wood allows the bench to look great in any room tone. Our modern cut designs fit in a sleek, modern decor; while our rounded versions look fantastic in a homey or rustic decor.

Elegance

Our teak wood furniture is simply beautiful. It’s elegance comes from the superior shine and smooth feel of the wood. Teak wood is not overly processed and is able to retain a natural sheen. Other woods require a great amount of sanding and sealing to get the same look, which can diminish overtime due to weathering and cleaning. Teak wood, however, does not lose its natural luster and if it does look less than new, it is incredibly easy to revive with a little amount of natural teak oil.

Stability

Teak wood is one of the densest and heaviest wood varieties. When shower benches are made of teak wood, you do not have to worry if one day the seat will split or a leg will break under your weight, over time. The natural rubber within the wood helps to bind the tree fibers together. It is this rubber that creates the natural water resistance, but also what gives the wood its solid strength. The natural oils in teak wood assist in the waterproofing of the wood, by allowing the tree cells to retain its own moisture. This prevents the wood from drying out and splintering.

Lifespan

An investment in teak wood furniture, like our shower benches, is a lifelong investment. Teak wood is incredibly durable, and unlike other woods, will not crack, warp, or turn black overtime when in contact with metal. If you need proof that teak wood furniture is forever, if you have ever visited a british park, the benches are made of teak and are over 100 years old! You can enjoy the look of your personal shower bench for your lifetime and pass it along when you’re gone, all the while it will retain its beauty.

What may seem like an accent shower bench, does much to improve your shower and your home for the long haul. At AquaTeak we are crazy about the simple elegance of teak wood and we are completely convinced that once you have a teak shower bench of your own, you will be too! Today is a great day to check out our selection of teak shower benches and add gorgeous functionality to your house.
