What is Flexiteek?

\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek 3 is a synthetic decking material that beautifully mimics the look and feel of real teak, but with added advantages. It’s lighter, low-maintenance, and still delivers that classic teak aesthetic.

\n\n\n\n

Made from REACH-compliant, phthalate-free plasticiser, Flexiteek is durable, weather-resistant, but also easy to clean. It’s a popular choice among boaters who want a stylish, functional alternative to traditional wood decking.

\n\n\n\n

Why Choose Flexiteek Over Other Decking Materials?

\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek offers many advantages over traditional wood or other synthetic materials.

\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  1. Durability: Flexiteek is designed to withstand harsh marine environments, resisting UV rays, and maintaining its appearance over time.
    2. \n\n\n\n
  2. Low Maintenance: Unlike natural wood, Flexiteek doesn’t rot, splinter, or require regular staining. You can say goodbye to endless sanding and sealing.
    3. \n\n\n\n
  3. Safety: Flexiteek’s slip-resistant surface is a crucial safety feature, providing extra grip even when wet.
    4. \n
\n
\n\n\n

How Long Does Flexiteek Decking Last?

\n\n\n\n

With proper care, Flexiteek 3 synthetic decking can last over 20 years. Our earliest installations are still in great condition, demonstrating the material’s long-lasting durability.

\n\n\n\n

Who are the Flexiteek Distributors?

\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek is available worldwide through a network of marine and boat supply companies. To find a distributor near you, visit our Find Your Local Distributor page.

\n\n\n\n

How Much Does Flexiteek Cost?

\n\n\n\n

The cost of Flexiteek 3 varies depending on the square meterage and specific options you choose. For an accurate quote, contact your local distributor who can tailor the pricing to your needs.

\n\n\n\n

Can You Sand Flexiteek?

\n\n\n\n

You can sand Flexiteek to remove scratches or adjust its surface texture. However, it’s important to sand carefully to preserve the material’s appearance and performance. Use 40 to 80 grit sandpaper, and always sand in the direction of the grain. Remember, coarser sandpaper will create a deeper grain effect, so choose your grit accordingly.

\n\n\n\n

How Do I Maintain Flexiteek Decking?

\n\n\n\n

Maintaining Flexiteek is far simpler than caring for wood. There’s no need for sealing or special treatments. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is all it takes to keep your deck looking fresh. For tougher stains or spills, check out our 5-Step Cleaning Guide.

\n\n\n\n

It’s also wise to regularly inspect your deck for signs of wear or damage, addressing any issues to extend its lifespan.

\n\n\n\n

What are the Flexiteek Colours?

\n\n\n\n

Whether you prefer the traditional look of teak or something more contemporary, we offer a wide range of synthetic colours to choose from. Combined with black, grey or white caulking, this gives you an enviable range of combinations with which to customise your deck.

\n\n\n\n

What are Flexiteek Trims?

\n\n\n\n

Compliment your Flexiteek synthetic teak deck with our range of Flexiteek Trims, developed in collaboration with the Wilks range.

\n\n\n\n

These edge finishing pieces give your deck a clean, polished look, cover seams, and provide extra protection against wear and tear.

\n\n\n\n

Conclusion

\n\n\n\n

Flexiteek synthetic decking is a fantastic choice for boat owners who want a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance option. With its variety of colours, easy upkeep, and long-lasting performance, it’s a modern alternative to traditional wood.
