Boat Deck Alternatives
Color combinations and styles vary by brand, which includes PlasDECK, Flexiteek, NuTeak, and Dek-King, among others. Bill Gribble, president of PlasTEAK, the makers of PlasDECK, says buying a new boat is easier than removing PVC decking. EVA foam deckingThe biggest player in this segment is SeaDek, which has steadily grown from niche tugs and wakeboats to fishing boats and runabouts. Every new Nautique boat rolls out of the factory with SeaDek on the floor, and it's easy to see why closed cell foam is popular aboard boats where the deck typically gets wet. Unlike carpeted decks once common on ski boats and runabouts, you can hose down the EVA surface or scrub it with soap and water to make it look like new.

Top Boat Flooring Ideas: Interlocking Marine Tiles & Mats

Users find Patio Outdoor Tile to be a simple and comprehensive option for boat flooring. StayLock perforated tiles are similar to outdoor patio tiles, except they are more flexible, soft and cushioned. The tiles are easy to work with and are flexible enough to conform to irregular underlying surfaces. This marine flooring is built to last in wet environments. The heavy-duty tab locking system prevents tiles from separating over time, even under heavy loads and long periods of humidity. These boat tiles are made of PVC, which is naturally resistant to most oils and many acids. The tiles also feature an ASTM drop height rating of 20 inches. The Royal interlocking carpet tile is a particularly simple boat carpet tile option. Customers rave about how easy this lightweight, stain-resistant boat floor is to maintain. This waterproof marine carpet tile is made from EVA and polyethylene foam bonded to a soft yet durable carpet surface similar to that found in a luxury vehicle. Interlocking boat carpet tiles are convenient to install; not even tape is needed. Marine carpet tiles are cushioned and comfortable and will last under tables, chairs and foot traffic. ) The thing to keep in mind with these tiles is that they have not been UV treated and due to the nature of the EVA foam material the tiles will expand and contract at direct sunlight and with temperature fluctuations. So be sure to leave enough expansion space to prevent buckling. For extra durable marine flooring, Greatmats recommends Ring Boat Floor Mats. In addition, the mats are anti-fatigue and allow you to stand for hours. These boat mats are specially designed for outdoor use in wet areas. Be aware that this boat floor gives off a rubbery smell during installation, so good ventilation is essential.

What Is The Best Material For Boat Deck
SYNBOATEK® synthetic teak marine deckingA boat dock sees incredibly harsh conditions as they are so close to the water that they are usually abused by the waves and are often constantly saturated with water. Pressure-treated pine boat deck material will need to be sealed every year or two with a water sealer to prevent water from saturating the wood. First of all, teak ship decks are very expensive in materials and labor. There are also post-maintenance issues, and as you know, teak decks require careful maintenance. Now, if you like the look and feel of a teak deck, you might want to look at the many synthetic teak deck alternatives that are popping up on the market. Soft PVC flooring or faux teak decking material is becoming more common on mega yachts, cruise liners, production boats and now DIY owners. After 10 years of excellence, we have taken PVC synthetic teak decking to new heights and our fitted boat deck materials are as at home on a luxury yacht as they are on a small dinghy or power boat. The versatility of our boat coatings has been proven over time in unique installations including pool coatings, balconies, office module doors and bathrooms. UV stable
Ask if ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers are used in the manufacture of synthetic teak decking material. Some, like SYNBOATEK®, are made from closed-cell EVA materials that don't absorb liquids. The less dense and lighter in color the faux teak is, generally the cooler it will be.
