Tectona showers: Refreshingly good
If our showers are the final word in the art of outdoor living, it’s because they’re the products of meticulous and rigorous know-how. Here we present a little glimpse into our shower workshop situated in the Pays de Caux region in the heart of Normandy.
The Tectona spirit
Whether made from teak, stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium, every one of our showers and posts meets the same criteria as our furniture: they are easy to use and suited to the outdoors, they have the right proportions and they blend in harmoniously with their environment, whether it’s plant or mineral. We only use quality pieces from Europe. External piping is made from brass with a chrome coating for corrosion resistance.
All the pieces making up our showers are worked using traditional manual techniques. For the plumbing, we use traditional know-how including oakum for connections, a technique that was being used by Ancient Romans and which makes it possible to screw seals to make them airtight without blocking them, such that you can unscrew them if necessary.
Tropic shower : an exceptional teak
The Tropic shower illustrates all the know-how implemented for the creation of our showers. The column is cut from a single section of premium teak. To fix in place the mixer valve lever and the shower arm, the boards are inserted manually. The final step is precise and manual chiselling of the teak.
All our showers are connected to a water supply for testing before they leave the workshop. Packaging is carried out with great care, providing protection and making assembly easier. Once they reach their final destination, they take moments to install and provide years of service!
