What Is EVA Foam Decking?

Foam decking is a high-density marine EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) surface bonded directly to the vessel. It gives owners and captains a comfortable, secure and refined deck without the regular care required by natural teak.

For Cartagena's tropical sun and saltwater environment, we use marine material intended for UV exposure. Its cushioned surface feels more comfortable underfoot than bare GRP or metal and is straightforward to clean with compatible products.

  • Textured grip when wet for safer movement on deck
  • Comfortable underfoot compared with bare GRP or metal
  • Made for saltwater exposure and routine marine use
  • Easier upkeep with periodic cleaning and compatible products
  • Installation timing confirmed after measuring and inspecting the deck

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does synthetic decking last in Cartagena?

The materials we use are UV-protected for marine exposure. Service life depends on use, sunlight, cleaning, substrate condition and installation. We explain care for the selected material during the survey.

Can synthetic decking be installed over existing teak?

Sometimes, but we generally recommend removing the old deck to support proper adhesion and avoid trapping moisture between layers.

How long does installation take?

Timing is confirmed after measuring the deck and reviewing cuts, curves, hatches, fittings and substrate condition. The schedule is included in the written quotation.

How much does an installed EVA foam deck sheet cost?

A 240 × 90 cm EVA sheet costs COP 800,000 and installation is COP 300,000 per sheet, plus applicable taxes. Final pricing is confirmed after an onboard survey and measurements.

What installation warranty is offered?

A one-year installation warranty applies only when expressly included in the approved written scope. That document defines the coverage and conditions for the specific project.
