how Marinedeck 2000 compares to synthetic teak decking

“Marinedeck 2000 earns a Best Choice rating for its cork-based material that resists stains, does not get too hot, and feels smooth to the touch.”

Synthetic Teak Durability Test

“Made by Stazo Marine Equipment in the Netherlands, Marinedeck 2000 is handled by several distributors in the U.S. The Florida-based firm MarQuipt covers the U.S. and Caribbean.

A company with a unique departure from the PVC material of its competitors, Marinedeck uses natural cork with a hybrid synthetic binder compressed under pressure. This results in a thicker, stiffer, and seemingly more durable panel that feels softer, stays cooler in the sun, exhibits good nonskid properties, insulates, and deadens sound. The material feels much softer under foot than the others in our test.

Marinedeck comes in a variety of sizes in 1/4-inch or 1/3-inch thicknesses, in sheets, or different width planks, with and without seams or caulking.  The Marinedeck showed virtually no signs of wear after five years exposure.

Bottom line: Nonskid properties, feel, and durability give this a ­Recommended rating for those who care about thermal insulation properties and durability. For extreme hot or cold, this material is hard to beat.”
