Boat Flooring Options

Options for Boat Flooring

Boat flooring must be able to withstand difficult weather and environmental conditions, including salt water spray, direct sun, and constant moisture from rain and splashing. At Greatmats, we can provide PVC marine flooring that’s comfortable, looks great, and allows water to drain away. If your original boat flooring is showing its age or – even worse – is becoming slippery, let our PVC boat flooring bring new life to your boat’s design.

Types of Boat Flooring

Many people can install rubber or PVC plastic boat flooring as a DIY job.

Matting Rolls

Industrial matting rolls consisting of PVC plastic as a covering are perfect boat PVC flooring. The rolls are slip-resistant, perforated, and colorful.

Interlocking PVC Tiles

Interlocking PVC flooring tiles for a boat are extremely easy to install. Because they have a small size, they’re easy to handle and lightweight, simplifying the DIY installation. Perforations allow water to drain away.

Rubber Mats

Rubber floor mats are ideal for use on boats because they are durable and offer maximum slip resistance. They’re heavy enough that they don’t move unexpectedly after installation while providing more cushioning than you’d expect.

Boat Flooring Q&A

What are the top DIY boat flooring ideas?

The top five DIY boat flooring ideas include using perforated tiles, slip-resistant tiles, carpet tiles with a foam base, rubber tiles, and non-slip heavy-duty rolls.

What kind of flooring can you install over a boat dock?

For the best flooring to install over a boat dock, look for material that is slip-resistant to protect people walking on a wet dock. It should be able to stand up to weather and UV rays without showing wear. Composite materials and PVC plastic both work well as long-lasting materials that also provide safe levels of traction.

What is the best vinyl boat flooring?

The best vinyl boat flooring is often PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. This is a durable type of matting that maximizes traction in wet conditions. If the tiles or rolls contain perforations, they have drainage for removing standing water efficiently.

What is the best foam boat flooring?

The best foam boat flooring provides a soft surface for those using the boat, but it also is slip-resistant. You can choose waterproof foam with a carpet layer over the top or foam tiles with a puzzle-style edge.

What is the best pontoon boat flooring?

The best pontoon boat flooring will include PVC vinyl plastic tiles that have perforations that allow excess water to drain away. Foam tiles with a carpet top layer also work well, as they’re waterproof and comfortable.
