Marine flooring solutions you can count on onboard
NO COMPROMISE AT SEA
In marine environments, performance and safety are non-negotiable. Every component installed onboard must meet strict international regulations while withstanding continuous moisture, heavy foot traffic, vibration and the physical movements of the vessel.
Successful marine flooring installation always begins with a properly prepared subfloor. Bostik’s certified floor preparation solutions deliver a stable, highly durable base by combining moisture-resistant primers with high-performance self-levelling compounds. Specifically engineered for the maritime industry, our complete system provides strong resistance against harsh salt exposure, constant humidity, continuous onboard movement and structural vibration.
FLOOR PREPARATION: The right foundation
Successful marine flooring installation always begins with a properly prepared subfloor. Bostik’s certified floor preparation solutions deliver a stable, highly durable base by combining moisture-resistant primers with high-performance self-levelling compounds. Specifically engineered for the maritime industry, our complete system guarantees maximum resistance against harsh salt exposure, constant humidity, and continuous onboard movement or structural vibration.
