With a bounty of decking options available, boat and yacht owners may find themselves a daunting task to weigh the pros and cons. We list out the benefits of EVA installation.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate stays a strong contender for decking applications for a wide variety of reasons. The semi-rigid due to the chemically cross-linked structure of EVA for yacht decking offers plenty of advantages. We enlist a few in the following.
Impact & Vibration Absorption – The footfall and depression caused due to that on the deck mustn’t damage it to the point where a replacement is necessary. Aluminum installations do come cheap, but they don’t fare great against such impact. EVA, on the other hand, survives impact and vibration easily.
Weather & Chemical Resistance – Harsh environments and oxidation-related risks often affect boat and yacht decks, causing major requirements for repair and maintenance. However, EVA proffers excellent weather and chemical resistance for enduring these issues.
Acoustic & Thermal Insulation – Sound impact in the oceans or seas wears out some components of the boat/yacht. EVA has a strong resistant feature to provide acoustic and thermal insulation (for direct exposure), enabling a valuable and mindful investment.
Thermos-forming and Thermos-molding – EVA also supports thermos-forming and thermos-molding for an extraordinary support system.
In the above, we have only highlighted features, supported by advantages, for people who have a keen interest in marine decking options and particularly looking for a solid investment without regrets. Exploring the technical specifications offers more credible information.
