Default Teak shower grate: Varhished or unfinished?
inscribed in red ink for all to know:
Teak looses it natural non-slip qualities when varnished; the shower is
a place many prefer not to be slippery!

Provided there's no standing water, i.e. the grate is not partially
imersed in fresh water for extended periods, rot won't be a concern.

I'd go unfinished.


The teak grate in the cockpit is exposed to the weather, and it seems to
do fine. I was wondering if anyone had actually had a bare teak grate
in the shower... does the soap affect it? Does it look good after a
year's use?
