1. The Farmhouse Bathroom Dilemma: Humidity & Fixture Failures

Farmhouse-style bathrooms are all about warmth, texture, and timeless appeal—but there’s a hidden problem many homeowners don’t consider: excess moisture destroys traditional farmhouse light fixtures.

Common Issues with Standard Bathroom Lighting:

❌ Rust & Peeling Paint – Matte black metal fixtures often corrode due to prolonged humidity exposure.
❌ Warping & Mold Growth – Wooden sconces or linen-textured diffusers absorb moisture, leading to damage.
❌ Dimmed Performance – Many farmhouse-style sconces aren’t designed for high-humidity conditions, reducing light output over time.

🔎 The Reality? Over 40% of farmhouse bathroom lights need replacement within 3 years due to humidity-related wear and tear.

💡 Solution: Humidity-resistant rattan lighting, specifically engineered for farmhouse aesthetics without the maintenance nightmare.

2. Why Rattan Lighting? The AquaWeave Technology Difference

Not all rattan lighting is made for bathrooms. Traditional natural rattan absorbs moisture, leading to swelling, mold, and premature wear. That’s where Zepboo’s AquaWeave™ Technology comes in.

🌿 What Makes AquaWeave Rattan Perfect for Bathrooms?
✅ Ultra-Low Absorption: AquaWeave rattan has an absorption rate <0.3% (tested under ASTM D570 standards), making it resistant to humidity damage.
✅ IP54-Rated Protection: Withstands high-moisture environments, preventing mold growth and discoloration.
✅ Antimicrobial Coating: Inhibits bacteria, ensuring a clean and hygienic fixture.
✅ Matte Black, Powder-Coated Hardware: Rust-proof and designed to complement modern farmhouse aesthetics.

👉 Ideal For:

• Vanity sconces above shiplap walls

• Overhead lighting in high-humidity bathrooms

• Accent lighting for rustic-modern farmhouse spaces
