My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Finishing wood?

7 years ago
Hi there, just curious what you use to finish this wood when used for something like an outdoor shower so that it holds up. Thanks

    Thank you for your question.


    We used redwood for this shower enclosure at the client's request. Teak is the best outdoor wood for long term. There are a variety of different finishes for redwood, like Penofin. Your local paint store can answer your specific questions for your situation.
