Is a Lacquer Finish Slippery? Not Ours — Here's Why It's the Smarter Choice

At RVTeak.com, we know what matters most when it comes to your shower mat: safety, comfort, and lasting beauty. That’s why our teak shower mats come finished with a high-quality, marine-grade nitrocellulose lacquer — and yes, it’s absolutely safe underfoot.

Not Slippery — Just Smarter

We sometimes hear a common concern: “Is lacquer slippery when wet?” In many cases, sure — but not ours. Our mats are designed specifically for wet environments, with a light satin finish that enhances the natural richness of teak without creating a slick surface. The wide slats and natural grain of teak offer excellent grip, and we top it off with a full-length gripping base that keeps your mat firmly in place, even on slick RV shower floors.

Why Lacquer? It’s All About the Experience

Raw, unfinished teak may look appealing in photos, but it has some downsides in real-world use:

• It feels rougher underfoot
  
• It requires regular sanding and oiling to maintain appearance

Our lacquer-finished teak mats, on the other hand, are:

• Soft and smooth to the touch
• Water-resistant and easy to rinse clean
• Low-maintenance — no oiling, no sanding, no gray patina

We chose this finish because it performs better in real RV bathrooms — where water, soap, and shampoo are part of the daily routine. It enhances the natural durability of teak without compromising on traction or appearance.

Designed for Real RV Life

Each RVTeak mat is a perfect fit, with function in mind. That includes:

• Fast-draining slats
• Non-slip rubber base
• Comfortable surface you’ll actually want to step on

So rest easy — our lacquer isn’t just safe. It’s smarter, easier to clean, and a better fit for life on the road.
