Teak shower floor deck

The modern hall bath project has been progressing.  Since I can only work weekends on it, it does go slow but it also gives me time to consider other options on design so the project is always changing.  We finished the shower, pan, stone curb and teak deck floor.  It turned out beyond my expectations and adds so much to the modern spa feel.


The deck is made from teak lumber that was source from a teak decking supplier.  We ripped the lumber down to narrower slats. I then used a long contour gauge to find and cut the slats to follow the curves and angles of the stone curb.  The deck was made as a one piece unit and then when complete we cut it into three sections to make it easy to remove.  When sitting in the pan it looks one piece.

The stone curb was actually simple to install once we found the layout for the stones.  I cut the far left stone on a wet tile saw to fit.  Installing the stones was done just like the slate tile.  We used the same thin set and grout to set and fill the spaces between each stone.
