Q: I have
just had boat deck fitted to my cockpit. What products
should I use clean it ?
A: Our PVC boat deck is a maintenance free decking
product. Marks can be cleaned off using hot soapy
water or by a high pressure washer. Scratches can be
removed by light sanding with 40 grit
sandpaper.
Q: Do the panels tolerate ice, snow and strong heat
over the years?
A: Yes, our product tolerates ice, snow or strong
heat and will not be damaged if exposed to these
conditions.
Q: Is your synthetic teak slippery when wet?
A:
NO, our PVC boat deck offers superb traction, much
better than non-skid patterns
model
into the
fiberglass
It actually offers
a little more traction when
it is wet than when it is dry.
Many of
our customers have purchased our deck simply for its
non-slip properties,
especially
on swim platforms.
Q: Does
your PVC boat deck get hot in the sun?
A: Our deck will get warmer than a white
fiberglass deck due to its darker color. Temperatures
compare to that of a real teak wood deck. As most
boaters who are used to southern summers already
know, spraying a teak deck
with
water will cool it down without fear of making it
slippery.
The same
technique works great with our PVC boat deck.
Q: What is your deck made of ? Do you combine
natural wood with the material ?
A: There is no wood content in our product.
Our PVC boat deck is made of High Grade P.V.C
and contains quality pigments and U.V.stabilizers,
ensuring it keeps its appearance
for
decades.
Q: Can I install the boat deck myself?
A: YES, our deck comes in various extrusions
that make it simple for the average handyman to
lay a deck. All you need is the PVC flooring
glue.
Q: What do I need to do to my decks before
installation?
A: The decks need to be clean and free of any
dirt, grease or wax. A good cleaning with Acetone or
Denatured alcohol usually does the trick.
Q: How hard is it to make a usable template of
my boat?
A: It is not hard at all. You just need some
patience. We prefer to use a clear Mylar or Polyester
film to trace the edges with a permanent marker. Then
just roll it up and contact us for instructions
to send it to us.
Q: What is the most cost effective of
installing the PVC boat deck?
A: The most economical way is to purchase the
required material and install it
yourself.
