Porcelain MDF and tiles. These are the materials of choice for many bathrooms in the UK. Tikamoon brings an alternative to the table, with solid wood and marble stone bathroom furniture.

Perhaps the bathroom is the place in the home where quality materials mean the most. In a room abound with heat, water, steam and condensation, MDF furniture begins to bend and warp over time. This is because MDF is composed of many small wooden fibres that are glued together with a special binding resin. When the wood is heated in a bathroom, the resin between the wood fibres becomes softer. Over time with continued heating and cooling the MDF is bound to change shape as the glue fails to keep the wood fibres in their original place.

In comparison there are no such problems for solid wood. Tikamoon’s bathroom furniture is made from solid wood – largely teak, which is one of the hardest woods available. Taken directly from the tree and hand carved into washstands or bathroom cupboards, these wooden furniture pieces are fully natural, which means they have none of those pesky glues or resins to cause problems. In fact, if a Tikamoon quality vanity cabinet is treated with care it will stand the test of time. This opens up some interesting options because wood absorbs heat and can make your bathroom a warmer and more comfortable place to relax and replenish.

Tikamoon carries the same value for hand craftsmanship and quality materials through to the carving of marble washbasins. One of the hardest known stones, marble has been used to build palaces, like the Taj Mahal, and is certainly an excellent material for washbasins. Tikamoon specialises in marble washbasins but there are other materials on offer. You can find river stone, volcanic rock and terrazzo basins in the catalogue, all produced to high specifications. You may be surprised by how cheaply a hand carved piece of natural marble can be produced and sold for. Tikamoon has studied the craft of marble basin carving to bring you bathroom furniture made from superb quality materials at highly competitive prices. That is a highly sought after recipe indeed…
