PVC Matting for Boats

One of the most popular types of matting for use on boats is PVC matting. It’s commonly used in Swimming Pool Areas for many of the same reasons that make it great for boats. These include its natural resistance to water and many chemicals, preventing any risk of corrosion. The matting is specifically designed to raise users above standing water, which flows freely underneath through thousands of drainage gaps or holes. PVC is also very strong, meaning you can expect a long lifespan and excellent value from your PVC boat matting.

We recommend using the Heavy-Duty Marine Duckboard Matting Rolls. It’s a traditional design of PVC matting that’s been used for many decades for the simple reason that it works. It’s also available in grey, which has proven to be popular with leisure and working boat owners.

Rubber Matting for Boats and Marinas

Rubber is a fantastic material for matting in almost every environment, with boats and marinas being no exception. Rubber Matting provides users with a flexible, comfortable and grippy surface to stand on, making wet floors safer to stand on. Their appearance makes them a less popular choice for leisure craft and yachts, but their durability makes them a good choice for engine rooms, bridges and other areas of working craft.

Marinas can also benefit from using rubber matting around the facility on walkways, building entrances and jetties. See our DrainAway Rubber Utility Mats, which are available in lengths of five or ten metres to provide a good value runner mat. Alternatively, the Rubber Workshop Swarf Catch Mats are conveniently sized and affordable for engine rooms and smaller working areas.

Anti-Slip Tape for Marinas and Boats

In some cases, loose-laid matting isn’t an option, whether for aesthetic reasons or limited space. Anti-Slip Tape is a low-cost, convenient and highly effective product that quickly boosts grip on smooth, slippery surfaces. These are often used on the narrow edges along the hull or steps leading on and off the vessel. Fortunately, the anti-slip tape can be cut as needed from the roll, making it a cost-effective and flexible solution to slippery surfaces.

Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased before applying the tape to ensure good adhesion. Tape can be purchased in pre-cut panels or 18.3m long rolls ranging from 25mm to 150mm in width. A wide range of colours is also available, including black, yellow, hazard-stripe and transparent tape.
