18 Knockout Ideas for Cosmetic Floor Showers

If there’s 1 area homeowners overlook most often when doing a bathroom remodel, then it’s probably the shower floor. After all, the idea that our toes should stand on tile or fiberglass while we’re showering is so ingrained in us — why would anybody assume they have more choices?

Input the wooden floor shower. It’s an elegant upgrade to the substances of yore, and a lot more versatile. Wood slats make a cozy ski-lodge vibe at winter along with a sunny deck-like experience in summer, which makes it a win-win for anybody looking to spiff up a toilet design. Merely ask Austin, Texas, architect MJ Neal, who utilizes the material regularly. “It’s a wonderful way to handle the ground itself, and really warms the space up,” Neal says. “It almost harkens back to Japanese baths as well. It can be quite relaxing”

Of course, a few challenges do arise together with timber shower floors. Apart from being slick, wood and constant water do not just go hand in hand. That’s why it’s best to go with tropical forests, such as teak, ipe or massaranduba, which can be naturally water resistant (though naturally pricier, also).
