MADE IN USA
One of the many things that sets AquaTread® boat and pontoon flooring apart from other marine flooring options is its inventive spun bound backer, sometimes referred to as welded boat flooring, that offers OEMs, boat owners and renovators an extra bang for the buck. Read on to find out everything our spun bound backing has going for it…
What exactly is spun bound backing? Think of some material backing you’ve seen in the past that resembles the look of netting. Essentially that is what the back of AquaTread Marine Flooring looks like. It is a distinctive machine-spun finishing material that offers some really great redeeming qualities.
1. Easiest pontoon boat flooring to install
Thanks to this revolutionary backing for marine flooring, AquaTread joint-free, vinyl roll out boat flooring is much simpler to install DIY without the expense of professional installers. This spun bound backing helps to grab whatever adhesive you are using for plywood, composite or metal. The netted backing grabs glue tight to quickly install pontoon flooring rolls. Just trim to fit and AquaTread lays flat and looks like a million bucks in no time at all.
2. Minimizes flooring expansion and contraction issues
Admittedly, vinyl can expand and contract with extreme temperature changes. Our advanced spun bound backing dramatically reduces this problem because of its cutting-edge adhesion characteristics.
3. An added layer for a more cushioned vinyl marine flooring experience
AquaTread® 100% polyvinyl pontoon boat flooring is already cushiony underfoot due to its premium vinyl flooring anti-fatigue benefits. All our boat flooring patterns feature our Levant™ surface texture – our softest, with a buttery, leather-like finish. Our spun bound backer actually increases that velvety, supportive feel for lots of comfort for bare feet and for hours standing on the water.
4. Boat floor cover that helps conceal flooring imperfections
Although we always recommend repairing major flooring issues and starting with a clean, dry slate before boat flooring installation, AquaTread‘s spun bound backer will help hide any remaining substrate imperfections. This can reduce any buckling or delamination problems you may have experienced with other pontoon boat floor coverings. Remember that AquaTread Marine Flooring is manufactured with solid polyvinyl throughout, so there won’t be any fillers or layers to weaken the vinyl boat flooring.
