interested to see how this product lasts and would be very keen to start installing this on boats if it proves to be as good as it is made out to be.”
For Ross the reforestation of teak and DNA- testing to ensure teak is legally harvested is the most exciting development on the horizon.
She says, “Forests need to be protected and illegal use of teak must be stopped. There are several modified wood alternatives in development that once proven may be an alternative to teak. Additionally, we are putting a lot of focus on innovation and are in the process of developing things to inspire and meet the new demands of our future customers.”

aesthetics. ‘We are always thinking about the environment, there is pressure on the superyacht industry to clean up its act and we’re right on top of things here,” she says.
At Deck Project Achkasov spent a good deal of time last year working on custom made deck furniture, designed in-house.
It was a busy year for re-caulking decks too: “After much research, we’ve found the best and most durable deck caulking solutions which makes our clients happy.”
“Not only is teak the bestselling decking material, but the decking products used to install and maintain it are too,” reckons Ross at Teakdecking.. “The caulking, epoxies, eco cleaners and tools of Teakdecking Systems are innovative and proprietary. We developed our own when we could not find acceptable commercially available products and they are now leaders in the industry.”
As with the rest of the superyacht industry and materials used on board in construction, the decking industry and its client-base are moving at the same pace: We are asking for more thoughtful, conscious and informed decisions about what is laid beneath our feet onboard.
CORK DECKING Cork is soft and spongy and comfortable to walk on barefoot. It never gets uncomfortably hot. It is also one of the most resistant materials known to man. It doesn’t rot and isn’t harmed by salt water or by everyday cleaning products. When wet it has unmatched anti-slip properties. Cork’s natural colour is stunning and you can sand it every few years to make it look new. It costs the same as teak or PVC but lasts longer. The first cork decks, now 20 years old, are still In place and don’t show their age. As an insulation and acoustic material cork is also popular, easy to spray on internal walls, which can also eliminate condensation. For more details visit
