Choosing the right material is crucial to withstand constant humidity. Recommended options include:
- Exotic woods: teak, iroko, bamboo (naturally water-resistant)
- Treated woods: oak or beech with a water-repellent finish
- Laminate panels: an economical and waterproof alternative
Installation requires adequate ventilation and the application of regular protective treatment. The countertop must be properly sealed where it meets the walls and the basin.
For a made-to-measure bathroom countertop, dimensions, chosen material, and specific cut-outs directly influence the final cost.
