Can teak be placed in the bathroom?
We get that question often. And that's not surprising. After all, wood is a natural product, and wood always "works." For example, wood can shrink, but also expand, with changes in humidity. How about cracks and warps? A damp bathroom doesn't seem like the ideal place for wooden bathroom furniture . After all, who keeps their bathroom completely dry while showering? And don't we all spill our toothbrushes, contact lens cases, or hand soap sometimes?
Yet, many of us can't shake the thought of wooden bathroom furniture. We understand why. Wooden bathroom furniture evokes that wonderful outdoor shower in a warm Asian holiday destination. Nature, warmth, and tranquility—these are the qualities that define wood. But don't worry! For all you wood lovers, we have news: teak is perfect for the bathroom!

Why teak wood?
Wood can also be used in damp areas that come into direct contact with water. However, it's important to consider the type of wood, as there are significant differences. Hardwood is the most obvious choice for bathrooms. Teak, in particular, is a real standout among these. Its durable qualities have earned it an exceptionally good reputation. Therefore, teak truly deserves a place in the bathroom. Teak is a solid wood with a dense grain and a high oil content. This makes it perfectly resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations. It can also withstand a few knocks, perfect for busy bathrooms. A teak bathroom vanity can last for years.
How can you treat teak wood?
A little oil on your teak bathroom furniture works wonders. Mastello teak bathroom furniture is supplied untreated and, thanks to its durable properties, is also suitable for the bathroom. However, we recommend oiling teak bathroom furniture once for long-lasting use. You can use Monocoat for this. Oil the furniture before installing it in the bathroom.
How can you maintain teak wood?
Of course, you'll also need to clean the bathroom after use. A teak bathroom vanity is best cleaned with lukewarm water and, if necessary, a little green soap. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the wood. If you want to refresh the entire protective layer after a while, you can reapply the vanity with Monocoat.
