Discuss your deckWhat is a synthetic teak deck?
A synthetic teak deck is a man-made deck finish with the appearance of teak. It is intended for boat owners who want a smart teak finish with less maintenance than traditional teak. We assess the substrate, suitability and installation requirements for each boat.
Synthetic teak deck: price on request
After assessment or measurement. There is deliberately no generic price per m² because area, shape, design, substrate and installation vary.
From colour and lines to a suitable finish
A good result starts with clear choices about application, measurements and appearance.
Application
Discuss the deck areas where you are considering a teak-look finish, such as the cockpit, side deck or swim platform.
Colour and caulking
Colour, caulking colour and lines together determine whether the deck looks classic, understated or modern.
Fit
The shape, dimensions and existing substrate must allow for a precise made-to-measure finish.
Use and maintenance
The desired look is considered alongside use, maintenance and the condition of the current deck.
Deck colours and caulking combinations
The deck colour and caulking together determine the overall appearance. Below are six popular directions. Screen colours can vary, so always view a physical sample before making your final choice.
Classic
Teak with black caulking
A warm, traditional teak appearance with clear contrast between the planks.
Light and calm
Scrubbed with grey caulking
A lighter wood tone with softer caulking for a calm, balanced finish.
Weathered teak look
Weathered with grey caulking
A subdued grey direction inspired by the appearance of naturally weathered teak.
Fresh and light
Bleached with white caulking
A bright combination for a light, contemporary appearance on board.
Modern contrast

A distinctive monochrome choice for boats with a modern finish.
Natural variation

Synthetic teak, traditional teak or the existing deck?
Synthetic teak deck
Fits the need for a teak-look deck with less maintenance than natural teak and a made-to-measure finish.
Traditional teak
Offers the appearance of real wood, but generally requires more maintenance and care.
Keep the existing finish
Sometimes cleaning, local repair or keeping the current non-slip surface is more sensible. The condition of the boat determines the most suitable option.

How do I maintain a synthetic teak deck?
Suitable cleaning depends on the selected material and the manufacturer’s instructions. Ask for the maintenance instructions when choosing the material.
Can a synthetic teak deck be made to measure?
The shape, lines and colour can be adapted to the boat. Suitability of the substrate and application is assessed first.

That depends on the hull, interior and desired appearance. Whenever possible, view a physical colour sample before making your final choice.
Which deck areas can I submit for assessment?
You can submit areas such as the cockpit, side decks, swim platform or other walkable deck sections.
What should I send for an initial assessment?
Send overview photos, approximate dimensions, the boat type, location and your preferred colour or appearance.
