You can, I'm just afraid that inside the shower it has a potential to become more slippery too within a short time. Because it's right on the floor, Unless you take a very good care to air it, keep it dry as much as possible, etc.

Sochi did this in her master bath, the old place not the new one with the fab wet wallpaper. Wi-sailor girl too.

It can work great. It’s a little bit of maintenance. There is a thread somewhere, I did quick look but couldn’t find it.

LOL I found that thread, it was very short. : )

Also it was more wall-to-wall and semi permanent

I don't know why but it sent me laughing. Probably because I'm seldom short, and if I am...lol

Can you point me to the thread?

(I'm a big teak lover btw. )

Not the cleaning thread I recollect, but I found sochi’s master bath with the ipe shower and so I am sharing because it’s so pretty. Sochi MB

Oh and since you’ve sent me down this rabbit hole, I learned that it matters if the shower is open or closed, i.e. if there’s a glass door it’s going to take longer to dry and require more maintenance.

How big is the shower floor? Would it be practical to do a test run with an inexpensive thing you can just pick up anywhere.

Hi Local, it is open; tile on 2 sides, glass on one, entirely open on the 4th side. The shower is, I think ~38x 30"

The bathroom has a door to the outside and a door to the indoor pool. If she leaves the latter open, the bathroom is warmed and dehumidified by the same system that allows us to use drywall in our indoor pool.

I think it’s time for an experiment!

I've seen some squares that lock together, too. Some people use them in their outdoor showers down at the beach.

Functional and looks good! Perfect!

That looks perfect. What does your daughter think?

That’s the cutest shower I’ve seen in a long time.

Aww, thx, I love this bathroom. It has a french door to the outside and a solid door to the pool. Funny, it was supposed to be an outdoor shower but my architect misunderstood. Good thing, it has so much more utility.

Not the same since it was outdoor, but I had one in my outdoor shower in our last beach house. It was perfect and held up well to the elements.

Local, forgot to add .. DD likes it. She says it has a "spa vibe." I was worried she might think it too small ( i didn't want it wall to wall) but it's fine apparently.

Thanks Mtn
