A Must-Read for Boat Owners: How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Boat Flooring

2015-07-07

🧼 1. Keep It Clean, Keep It Fresh

Salt, sand, and dirt can grind into your deck like sandpaper. Regular cleaning is the simplest way to preserve your flooring:

  • Rinse your deck with fresh water after every trip

  • Use mild soap — avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the surface

  • Dry the deck when storing your boat to prevent mold and mildew

With MarvaDeck EVA Flooring: Cleaning is even easier. A quick rinse is all it takes — no scrubbing or heavy-duty cleaners required.

🌞 2. Protect Against Sun Damage

The sun’s UV rays are one of the biggest threats to boat flooring, causing fading, cracking, and deterioration.

  • Use a boat cover when not in use

  • Apply UV-protective sprays if you have traditional flooring

With MarvaDeck EVA Flooring: UV resistance is built in, ensuring your deck won’t fade or crack even after years under the sun.

⚓ 3. Prevent Water Damage

Standing water can shorten the lifespan of many flooring types.

  • Always check drainage and keep scuppers clear

  • Wipe down your deck after washing or rain

With MarvaDeck EVA Flooring: Thanks to its closed-cell design, it doesn’t absorb water — meaning no swelling, mold, or foul odors.

👣 4. Reduce Wear and Tear

High-traffic areas like swim platforms and cockpits wear down faster.

  • Place mats or rugs in heavy-use zones (if you’re not using EVA flooring)

  • Rotate or reposition deck furniture occasionally

With MarvaDeck EVA Flooring: The 6mm shock-absorbing foam handles foot traffic with ease while remaining comfortable underfoot.

🛠️ 5. Inspect and Repair Regularly

Don’t wait for small problems to turn into big repairs.

  • Inspect your deck every few months

  • Replace damaged sections before they spread

With MarvaDeck EVA Flooring: Thanks to easy installation with 3M adhesive, replacing individual sections is simple and cost-effective.
