Boat Flooring

[Scandal]

Hi
I would like to replace the floor covering in my 1961 Century Resorter. Currently it is marine ply covered with non-slip vinyl which gets dirty as soon as you go near the boat and looks dingy.

I would like to know what alternatives there are and any good sources of supply you may have used.

regards

Al

Hi Al, if you want to use some sort of vinyl flooring instead od non slip vinyl flooring there are so many different versions of pattern to choose from, look at poly floor and similar, any flooring/contract flooring company would have all the samples or you could find online to see patterns,search contract flooring,
But also whilst looking for contract flooring threre is the wide range of top of the range flooring called Amtico or Carndene or carndean, they do top notch tile type, and I have seen timber effect that you would struggle to see the difference, it is a very hard wearing waterproof type flooring,
Failing that, you could just replace the ply with a venneered finnish and varnish.

Thanks for advice. I will check it out. I hadn't thought of Amtico but now you've brought the subject up I have walked on some wood effect Amtico and it was very like wood.

I had been thinking of 'decksole' but I think the white or black pseudo calking lines would clash with the deck woodwork, hopefully now I can get something more suitable.
