A teak string shower mat is made from individual teak slats connected with durable marine-grade cord, allowing the mat to flex and conform to the floor. This design improves drainage and airflow while maintaining a comfortable, supportive surface underfoot. The flexible construction also makes the mat easy to roll up for cleaning or storage.

Teak string bath mats offer a cleaner, more durable alternative to traditional bath mats. Natural teak wood contains protective oils that help resist water, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for wet environments. Unlike fabric mats that trap moisture or rubber mats that can degrade over time, teak mats dry quickly and bring a spa-like aesthetic to your bathroom.

Yes. Teak string mats are designed specifically for wet environments such as showers, bathrooms, outdoor showers, and spa areas. The slatted design allows water to drain easily while providing a stable and comfortable surface. Many teak mats also include non-slip feet to help keep them securely in place.

Teak string mats are easy to maintain. Simply rinse the mat periodically and scrub gently with mild soap and a soft brush if needed. Because the mat is flexible, it can be rolled up to clean underneath or allow the floor to dry completely. Over time, teak naturally develops a silver-gray patina, though teak oil can be applied if you prefer to maintain the original golden tone.

While bamboo mats are common, bamboo can absorb moisture and may crack, warp, or develop splinters over time in wet environments. Teak is a dense hardwood naturally rich in oils that protect it from water, mold, and mildew. This durability helps teak mats maintain a smooth surface and long lifespan, making them a safer and more reliable choice for bathrooms and showers.

Yes, our shower mats and stools may be used inside the shower. With that said, there are certain precautions and a maintenance schedule we highly recommend following to keep your items clean and to prevent any potential mildew from eventually growing, and not to mention protecting your shower surfaces.  

First, we recommend placing a towel or other fabric on the underside of the product to collect any excess oil for the first few water cycles to ensure there is no leakage and to protect your floors and surface.

From that point forward, we recommend inspecting the underside of your mat and/or stool for any potential mildew growth at least once a month and clean where necessary. Teak wood is naturally mildew-resistant however it is not mildew-proof.
