U-DEK® is made of closed-cell chemically cross-linked foams, which are manufactured from polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) or a high-tech blended copolymer. The fine cell structure gives minimal water absorption, a high buoyancy rating and excellent chemical resistance.

Yes! We can custom route your preferred pattern, design or logo into the deck for you.

We recommend cleaning immediately to reduce possible staining, as some materials can stain the decking if not promptly removed, including: mustard, fish hooks left to rust, fish blood, bird droppings. Reducing longer term exposure to the elements when not in use, such as storing your boat in a garage or under a cover, will help extend the life of your decking and reduce colour fade. Inflatable pool toys or water bottles stored long-term on U-DEK®, or placing decking near reflective surfaces or beneath glass can be destructive to the decking, as these objects can refract/reflect light.

If it is well looked after, U-DEK® can last for 8+ years.

Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of your boat’s deck, and leadtime can vary depending on demand. Head over to our contact page and submit a form and we'll get back to you with a quote.

In direct sunlight, the flooring will warm up, especially if a dark colour. However, U-DEK® does not become too hot to stand on.
