No, teak wood itself is generally not considered excessively slippery when wet. It has a natural oil content that helps to repel water and provides some grip. Teak shower seats are actually known for their anti-slip properties, making them a very popular choice for wet environments like showers.
Several factors can make a teak shower seat slippery:
It’s important to note that while teak has some natural anti-slip properties, these factors can significantly increase the risk of slipping.
To minimize the risk of slipping on your teak shower seat, prioritize regular cleaning. Consistent washing with mild soap and water removes soap scum buildup, a major contributor to slipperiness. When oiling, use high-quality teak oil sparingly, as excessive oil can create a slick surface.
For added safety, consider incorporating non-slip measures. Applying non-slip pads or strips to the bottom of the seat enhances stability. Alternatively, using a non-slip mat directly on the shower seat can provide extra grip.
Finally, always exercise caution when using the seat, especially when wet. Use grab bars for support if necessary. By implementing these precautions, you can significantly reduce the risk of slipping and enjoy a safer showering experience on your teak seat.
Keep in mind that some people may find teak to be slightly slippery even when clean and maintained. If you’re concerned about slipping in the shower, we recommend adding a non-slip bath mat to your shower floor and choosing a teak shower seat with legs and rubber feet, such as this one: Teak Wall Mounted Shower Seat with Legs
