Rather than laying individually cut battens, the other major advancement, is the wide use of teak deck panels, pre-manufactured off-site using bespoke templates


using bespoke templates, but made to the required finish and exact dimension for the sub-deck they are intended for.


ZEAT Marine Group in Denmark is the European representative of Teakdecking Systems who first introduced their pre- fabricated decks as far back as 1979. Today they are certainly one the major players in the industry producing over 10,000m2 of decking per year. But, to meet global demands and a shift in ever changing markets, Teakdecking Systems also decided to work with synthetic decks in order to offer design versatility. They now supply Estech and Herculan synthetic decks to those clients where the application fits best.

Using CAD and laser measuring equipment, high quality installers use fairing compounds to achieve a perfectly smooth surface with the right camber and sheer, to ensure appropriate water run-off and drainage of the finished deck. In many cases, plywood is then attached to the faired deck to provide a suitably prepared sub-deck on which to attach the final teak battens and edge trim pieces.


Based in Barcelona, Teak Solutions, have taken the skill and integrity of a properly laid teak deck to an extremely high level with use of Vacuum Resin Infusion to construct high-quality panels set against a sub-deck, again using Vacuum.
