COMPOSITE DECKING

IMAGINATION AND TECHNOLOGY AT WORK



COMPOSITE DECKING

Within the composite decking products there are three main types of composite decking materials: EVA foam, PVC and Polyurethane. TDS only works with polyurethane that will last up to 20 years if properly maintained.


‘WE CREATED A REVOLUTION IN TEAK DECKING WITH OUR UNIQUE AND TIME-SAVING CONCEPT OF PRE-ASSEMBLED MODULAR DECKS. NOW WE HAVE APPLIED THIS HERITAGE OF INNOVATION TO THE COMPOSITE DECKING MARKET.’

MIKE ROGERS, PROJECT MANAGER TDS


IMAGINATION AND TECHNOLOGY AT WORK

With over four decades of expertise, we apply all of our know-how to engineer and install custom decks for yachts, commercial vessels and cruise ships, applying our expertise to exterior areas such as helipads, decks, steps, balconies and pool decks, as well as interiors for machinery, wet space, galley and crew quarters.

DECKING THAT DELIVERS

Composite decking is designed to withstand changing weather conditions, including moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations, without warping or splintering. Additionally, the composite material provides a natural insulation barrier, enhancing comfort on deck.


Engineered specifically for marine environments, it requires minimal upkeep and maintains its original color without fading, ensuring long-lasting performance and reducing the need for frequent repairs.


TDS PREMIUM PRODUCTS

TDS CompositeDeck is fabricated with a commercial-grade polyurethane top layer that has been tried and tested on military ships and cruise liners over the past twenty years, combined with a high density polyurethane marine core. The result is a durable, low-maintenance, and highly resilient deck surface that offers maximum comfort for users. It is a 20-year deck built to endure.

 

TDS SeaSole is our Polyurethane Resin TDS CompositeDeck material featuring an adhesive EVA Foam base. This economical decking option upholds TDS's top quality standards while being easy to repair and requiring minimal cleaning and maintenance.

ESTHEC DISTRIBUTOR

We proudly serve as the distributor for the Dutch company Esthec. Their patented thermoset bio-based pourable deck systems are renowned within the yachting industry for their superior quality, versatility, and cutting-edge technology.


Esthec’s decking meets the highest standards in the marine industry, offering top-grade materials that, after rigorous testing, ensure exceptional durability and longevity.

DESIGN FREEDOM

We help you to bring your composite decking designs to life using traditional, contemporary or custom colors and designs. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to elevate the visual appeal of their boat. The design flexibility offered by this material is unmatched, as it allows for a variety of colors, seam colors and design, enabling you to craft any pattern you desire.


Benefits are not just aesthetic, you will also enjoy longer lasting, corrosion-free performance compared to wood and many synthetics, easy maintenance and additional safety with anti-slip finishes.

MEETING TOUGH DEMANDS

Our composite surfaces don’t just offer seamless beauty, they are also unbeatable when the going gets tough. Harsh treatment, heavy machinery, heat and cold, corrosion — these materials endure it all. We can also guarantee quality with our inhouse TDS CompositeDeck and TDS SeaSole and our own products for installation.

MANUFACTURING & INSTALLATION PROCESS

Digital Templating

The first stage involves one of our technicians digitially templating the area using the latest in precise measuring technology. Our team digititally templates vessels all around the world.

 

Engineering

Our experienced designers are masters of creating beautiful and technically precise decks using a CAD construction program, importing data provided by our digital templating team. Our designers’ exceptional ability to create visual symmetry ensures impeccable finishes and beautiful aesthetic decks.

 

Manufacturing

Our Project Management Team will first carry out an inspection of the boat to identify the best application method for each area. Every composite decking panel is custom made to perfectly fit the areas to be covered. The panels are delivered with completed seam pattern, sanded and ready to be glued down on most structural surfaces. In the case of SeaSole, the deck is installed using the "peel and stick system". These parts are CNC cut and can have a wide variety of seam patterns or designs due to the precision of the manufacturing method.


Quality Control

Once the modular decking is completed, the final step involves laying out the composite deck all together as it would be on your vessel. The finished deck undergoes a thorough quality inspection, ensuring it aligns precisely with the original template.

 

Installation

The finished deck panels are placed in custom-made crates and then shipped and installed worldwide. Prior to the arrival of the new deck, the old deck is removed. Our installers inspect for any issues such as water intrusion, delamination, or corrosion on the vessel’s surface. If such issues are found, the areas are repaired before the new deck is installed.
