Flexiteek
Anybody here have any experience with this teak decking alternative?
The cockpit area of my boat is all white and can get damn hot in the summer sun. I've used throw-away indoor/outdoor carpeting from Home Depot, but it collects tons of dirt under the carpet. This stuff looks interesting. http://www.flexiteek.no/ Eisboch |
Nope but we've used the "Washed Teak" flooring from http://www.amtico.com/
for our busy kitchen. I'd imagine, with the right adhesive, it would out do the real stuff and it looks like the real stuff. You can usually see a display at Home Depot's Expo centers. They use it, themselves, for all of the flooring in the entire Expo store near me. Comes in a zillion wood and other colors and finishes, and in various widths, from 4 to 6 to 8 inches. Put it down like a strip floor. RichG TX -- RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners "Eisboch" wrote in message ...

Any chance you can look over a boat that the stuff's been installed on for a few years, to see how it weathers? I don't know. That's a long time to stand around looking at a boat. Eisboch |

Anyway, Harry, good idea. Turns out the boat in the slip next to me is a 1999 SeaLine. They are made in Europe somewhere - Italy, I think. It has what appears to be Flexiteek or something similar on the cockpit deck, stairs and swim platform. If it is Flexiteek, it looks great. I'll check it out with my neighbor when I see him.

Consider cork.

Consider cork. Why? It's now being used OEM, instead of teak, by some upper end builders. At one time cork decks were fairly common, and they may be making a comeback. I wouldn't presume to say that you should personally choose it rather than teak or psuedo teak, but you might want to consider it. Here's a link where you can see a photo of one of the current "cork deck" products. http://www.moody.co.uk/service/marinedeck.htm |
