Testing & Maintenance

Testing
Flexiteek has been through extensive testing to document all important material properties as well as qualities relevant to the demanding customer. We have proof of high wear resistance, solid welding seam strength, water tightness, excellent surface friction and good sound insulation properties. These properties have been confirmed by SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute, see PDF-file. 

The Flexiteek decking has also passed the following tests:

• Non-slip qualities are unsurpassed - [Tested to ASTM D 4518-91]
• Low combustibility - [Flammability testing to AS/NZ 53837]
• UV resistant - [Tested to ASTM G 154-00]

Maintenance
With new Flexiteek decking we recommend the yard /shipowner to add two coats of sealer the first year. The sealer can be ordered with the Flexiteek decking material.

Cleaning on a regular basis is best done using mild detergents like "Yes" and a power wash, see information (PDF).

Under no circumstances should teak cleaning chemicals, teak oil or wax be applied to the deck.

Marks or scratches can be easily removed using fine sanding along the "grain".
