Have questions about boat flooring?

What is our boat deck made from?

Closed-cell chemically cross-linked foams composed of polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), or a high-tech mixed copolymer make up U-DEK®. For all forms of marine vessels, including sailing yachts, motor yachts, trailer boats, RIBS, and personal watercraft, U-DEK® marine decking is a great-looking and high-performing solution. The tiny cell structure allows for minimum water absorption, great buoyancy, and chemical resistance.

Why do I need marine decking?

UV-resistant and non-absorbent, U-Dek is ideal for outdoor use. U-Dek is also stain resistant, simple to clean, and minimal maintenance, providing protection for boat surfaces, especially in heavy traffic areas. On all sorts of maritime boats, U-DEK® is a wonderful alternative to carpet, molded non-skid, or teak flooring. U-DEK® is a durable, low-maintenance, and easy-to-clean closed-cell foam that provides a high degree of comfort underfoot and outstanding traction in all situations.

How should I look after my marine decking?

We recommend cleaning as soon as possible to avoid staining, since some things, such as mustard, rusted fish hooks, fish blood, and bird droppings, can discolor the decking if not removed swiftly. Bleach should never be used!

Keep a bottle of U-DEK® Cleaner handy for when you need it. When your boat is not in use, avoid longer-term exposure to the weather by keeping it in a garage or under a cover. This will help extend the life of your decks and decrease color fading.

 Light amplification must be protected and avoided. As these things may refract/reflect light, storing inflatable pool toys or water bottles on U-DEK® for an extended period of time, as well as positioning decking near reflective surfaces or beneath glass, can be damaging to the decking.

How long does boat flooring last?

U-DEK® can endure for up to 8 years if properly cared for.

How long does it take to get marine decking installed?

The length of time it takes to install your boat’s deck depends on its size and intricacy, and lead times might vary based on demand. Please call us to discuss your exact needs, and we’ll provide you with a quote.

Does boat decking get hot?

The flooring will warm up in direct sunshine, especially if it is a dark hue. U-DEK®, on the other hand, does not get too hot to stand on.

What is light amplification?
When the sun reflects off a surface, and refracts the light. Thus increasing the chances of damage to your boat decking.
