Installation and Load Bearing
- All shower seat must be installed using suitable fasteners and sufficient in-wall backing materials.
- ADA mounting height for the lowered seat is 17″ (432mm) to 19″ (482mm).
- When properly installed, all shower seats have been designed and manufactured to support loads exceeding the downward pull requirements for Federal specifications FHA, VA, HUD, hospital codes, and private construction.
- The actual “in use” load-bearing capacity of any shower seat, however, will be limited by the strength of its mounting surface and installation hardware.
- It is recommended that shower seats be installed using 2″ minimum thickness “in wall” solid wood blocking material with 10 x 2″ stainless steel, Phillips-head, sheet metal screws, or using a wall embedded, minimum 12 ga. (2.8mm) steel anchor plate with 10 x 24 stainless steel machine screws.
- Under no circumstances should any shower seat be mounted to drywall, sheet rock, plaster, fiberglass, acrylic or other similar “hollow” wall surfaces without appropriate wood or steel backing material.
Cleaning Instructions for Teakworks4u Products
- Cleaning can be done in your shower or outdoors if you want to move everything out there for more room
- Do not use a power washer
- For quick cleaning:
-simply apply water with soft bristle brush in the shower area and lightly scrub the teak surface with a soft bristle brush. Then rinse the teak surface with clean water and wipe dry. - For deep cleaning:
-We recommend a commercial teak cleaner to remove any mildew or discolorations that have accumulated. These cleaners would not strip the wood of its natural oils and non-slip characteristics.
