Imitation Teak: The Sustainable Solution to Marine Industry’s Growing Demand
With global demands for quality teak wood decks rising in the marine industry, it is no surprise that the exotic hardwood is now in short supply and often unsustainably harvested. Teak, renowned for its durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal, has long been the gold standard for yacht and boat decking. However, the environmental cost and scarcity of teak have driven the industry to seek sustainable alternatives.
Enter imitation teak. As a perfect solution to the burgeoning issue, synthetic teak products have gained significant traction across marine sectors. The benefits of imitation teak are compelling: it offers the similar visual appeal and much more resilience than natural teak but without the environmental drawbacks. Synthetic teak is made from advanced polymers, ensuring longevity, low maintenance, and a reduced ecological footprint.
Advanced Resin Flooring, has been at the forefront of this transition. With three generations of expertise and years of experience in this relatively new sector of the marine industry, we have perfected the craft of imitation teak and marine systems and current synthetic products provide the elegance and performance expected.
As for the sustainability of synthetic teak decking, our partner company Demo Pro now offers a specialised removal service for synthetic products. Looking ahead, we plan to take sustainability a step further by recycling this waste material back into future flooring products. This closed-loop system will not only reduces waste but also conserves resources too.
