Deckfab Synthetic Teak Comparisons and Key Features
The best material like Teektrue material is 100% Virgin PVC without any additives or packing material and is extruded in the UK. Additives reduce the decks strength and durability so we do not use them. The reverse has dovetails to increase the surface area and a physical locking system for maximum adhesion to the deck. Our decking system is unique and produces the strongest and the most durable decks. It is backwelded using heat and double welded at the margins ie.solvent and heat weld. The linishing is medium grit at the factory but we sand the deck on the final finish so the customer can have a choice of texture prior to the panel being released to the fitter. The texture tends to smooth over time and general use. There are a range of colours out there with 98% of boats opting for a few colours (traditional, weathered and aged) teak so we concentrated on perfecting the most realistic colours using names that people understand. We can offer the rest but we are in the business of enhancing boats and there is the danger that strange colour combinations may be detrimental to the boats resale value. We just concentrate on giving the customer what he wants which is the most durable and realistic synthetic teak decks on the market.
