Taking Care of Your Marine Decking: Tips to Prevent Light Amplification Burning
Your marine decking plays a pivotal role in your boating experience, and it is essential to take proper care of it to ensure its longevity. One potential issue that can affect the lifespan of your decking is Light Amplification Burning. This phenomenon occurs when the sun’s rays reflect, magnify, and amplify onto the decking, particularly in corners and near cleats, leading to burning and shrinkage of the EVA/PE foam.
To minimize the risk of light-amplified damages, consider the following tips:
Choose Lighter Colors: Light colors are less likely to absorb heat and are more resistant to light amplification. When selecting your marine decking, opt for lighter color combinations to reduce the effects of sunlight magnification, especially when providing protective shade or covering for your boat is not an option during storage.
Protect from UV Radiation: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be harmful to all plastics, including soft EVA foam. After installing your custom marine foam decking, store it in a shaded area with proper ventilation. For the ultimate protection, climate-controlled storage is considered the best practice for extending the lifespan and quality of your boat decking.
By following these precautions, you can help ensure that your marine foam decking remains in excellent condition, even under the intense sun rays of summer.
Situations to Avoid: Protecting Your Marine Non-Skid Foam Decking
Preserving the quality and durability of your marine non-skid foam decking is crucial, and it’s essential to be mindful of certain situations that could potentially damage the product. Here are some scenarios to avoid:
Longtime Storage of Translucent or Transparent Items: Avoid storing items like inflatable pool toys or water bottles directly on the marine non-skid foam decking for extended periods. These objects can magnify sunlight and concentrate energy, potentially causing damage to the EVA foam.
Proximity to Reflective Objects: Refrain from placing your marine non-skid foam decking near reflective surfaces, such as hardware tools or glass installations. These surfaces can refract and reflect light, creating concentrated beams of energy that may harm the decking material.
By being aware of these situations and taking proactive measures to prevent potential damage, you can enjoy your marine decking product to the fullest while preserving its quality and longevity.
