Yacht or architectural, we understand your requirements and needs for style and structure.
DESIGN
The look is yours to decide, whether it’s a traditional fore and aft plank layout, or an intricate design or inlay of a custom logo or other specialty design. Our intimate knowledge of wood and woodworking, as well as synthetic materials, means we can make your ideas become reality.
We work with you and your designers to create specifications that will optimise your decks looks, functionality and longevity
SOURCING THE TEAK
We work closely with our supply partners in Australia and Myanmar to source, grade and machine the best vertical grain teak for your project
CONSTRUCTION
During the construction phase of the vessel, we ensure the structural decks are properly faired, the hatches are correctly located and aligned, and the drain and waterway details are prepared.
On refit projects, we make templates using synthetic paper taking notes of the existing teak deck’s style along with photographs before the old deck is removed. This allows us to accurately reproduce the deck’s original detailing.
For new yachts under construction, we make deck templates using 3D scans or synthetic paper after the fairing has been completed.
Using the templates as a guide, we build the deck components in our factory, away from the yacht and the refit/build. As we are building the deck, the refit staff can continue other work on the boat without our interruption, speeding up the overall build or refit time.
INSTALLATION
After we have built the modular deck, we freight it to the boat and the installation begins. This installation takes place in an efficient and timely manner, because of our pre-manufactured panel system Compared to hand laying a teak deck there is a minimal amount of dust and interference.
