Teak Shower Bench: How to Choose and Care for One
A teak shower bench turns an ordinary bathroom into a spa-like retreat, adding comfort, safety and a touch of natural warmth. Thanks to teak's natural oils, it resists water, mould and mildew, making it one of the best woods for wet environments.
Why choose a teak shower bench?
- Naturally water-resistant: Grade-A teak's oils repel moisture without chemical treatment.
- Built to last: durable for decades, developing a warm honey patina over time.
- Safe and comfortable: a stable, slip-resistant seat for showering, shaving or relaxing.
- Sustainable: responsibly sourced from legally managed Perum Perhutani plantations, backed by ARB Teak's 5-year warranty.
How to choose the right size
- Compact bathrooms (12"-24"): see our small teak shower benches.
- Standard showers (24"-36"): browse mid-size teak shower benches.
- Corner showers: a corner teak bench maximizes space.
- Tight or shared spaces: a folding teak bench stores flat.
Caring for your teak bench
Teak is low-maintenance: rinse after use and let it dry. For care, rinse after use, let the bench dry regularly, and follow ARB Teak’s official Teak Care guidance; do not apply teak oil or chemical treatments. Avoid harsh cleaners.
