The teak floor on the shower is gorgeous. I am wondering how practical it is though to keep clean underneath? Does it go yukky? What actually is underneath? (a shower tray insert or recessed tiles? does it matter?). What is the expected lifespan of the timber?

Thanks so much - I know I've lots of questions!

    These teak grates can be lifted up at any time for cleaning...
    ...teak decks last 40+ years aboard ships around the world, so I can't imagine that it wouldn't last at least as long in your shower where conditions are clearly going to be milder.

    Good point about the ships! Thanks for your reply.

    I have a friend with a wooden boat and it does have to be refinished often.

    That's if you want a polished, brown finish - if you are ok with allowing it to weather to grey, it doesn't require much work.

    Good point bepsf. I would leave it natural.
