Why choose Marine Customs & our boat decking products for your boat flooring project?

There are several traditional non-skid surfaces found on today’s boat decks. However, not every one of these products is of the same quality. This is where PE foam boat decking products from Marine Customs come into play.

We are the premier custom fabricator and installer of Marine Mat marine flooring in Florida. Our Marine Mat anti-slip, closed-cell foam deck treads offer a hard wearing, easy to maintain alternative to molded in anti-slip or paint-on textures. It’s the best available option for traction in wet areas, improving your comfort and safety, in addition to being the most attractive option for boat owners who want a long-lasting plank look flooring. Marine Mat is UV protected and non-absorbent. It is also easy to clean, low maintenance, and stain resistant to provide protection for boat surfaces, especially in high traffic areas.

The layer you never see

Every foam deck is built up in layers — that’s how the pattern and the color linework are cut. We build in 6mm, 9mm and 12mm depending on the boat and how much cushion you want underfoot.

What sets Marine Mat apart isn’t the foam stack. Most foam decking is foam and adhesive. Marine Mat runs a woven fiber backer through the adhesive underneath — the layer that actually bonds your deck down. You’ll never see it, and it’s the reason we moved to Marine Mat three years ago and haven’t installed anything else since.

We template and cut every deck to your boat in our Melbourne shop, then install it ourselves. Questions about your boat specifically? Call (321) 392-5539.

Advantages of Marine Mat Material

Made from durable, closed-cell PE foam, Marine Mat marine flooring is designed specifically for marine applications. Marine Mat is:

UV resistant

Marine Mat holds up to the tough Florida sun with a UV resistant design that resists fading and discoloration over time. 

Anti-slip

Marine Mat is the best available option for traction in wet areas, increasing the comfort and safety of your boat's deck and reducing accidents.

non-absorbing

Marine Mat helps protect your boat's surface from spills with a non-absorbing finish that wipes clean easily and resists staining. 

Reduces noise

Marine Mat helps reduce the noise you hear from an inboard engine and reduce the sound of people walking around on the deck within the cabin.

Shock absorbing

The shock absorbing design means you're less likely to damage your boat's deck surface and makes standing more comfortable, especially in motion. 

less light amplification

Our high density formulated PE materials are less susceptible to light amplification issues experienced by traditional EVA brands.

The most popular service we offer includes helping you every step of the way, from planning to fabrication and application. Get in touch with our decking fabrication experts to get started on your project.

The custom design and fabrication process

The custom fabrication process is simple and straightforward. We’ll first start with a scan of your boat in order to get a perfectly accurate digital template. From there, our CAD design team will use this data to redraw your boat, specifically noting the following:

  • Offsets to be added beyond the areas of your vessel’s non-skid for optimal adhesion
  • Direction of the grains from our brushed, textured finish when applicable
  • If any additional seams or breaks in the material need to be fabricated based on information from your design layout

At this point, your boat decking is custom fabricated according to our strict quality standards. Once the prefabrication inspection requirements get the green light, your project gets cut and moved along for a final inspection and installation. The customer can either have Marine Customs handle the installation or choose to do the installation on their own.
