Hello fellow builders!
I’m new to building, as we are currently putting up our first house on a plot of land. I’m trying to educate myself a bit in this area through the internet. Right now, we are planning the bathroom and could use some good advice!
Perhaps someone here can answer a few questions.
So: We are in the process of building and are now outfitting the bathroom. We have decided on a level-access (walk-in) shower system.
Question:
Can anyone share their experience with wooden floors in the shower? According to the manufacturer, real teak wood is used, which is supposed to be very durable and water-resistant. Our carpenter confirmed this and said you can’t go wrong with teak wood (at least it should be tropical hardwood). It’s also used outdoors and in boat building. With parquet flooring, water resistance is usually not as good, right?
And another question:
Does anyone have experience with the drainage capacity? The manufacturer offers drains with a flow rate of 0.6 liters per second (l/s) and 0.8 l/s. The 0.6 l/s drain has a lower installation height. Would this still be sufficient if we install a rain shower from HSK?
Overall, I would be interested in your opinions on this system...
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Olaf
