Frequently Asked Questions
DEKit is more than your average marine flooring. DEKit was built to withstand everything the avid angler has to throw at it. We built a product that we wanted on our personal vessels that would perform beyond what has been known as the industry standard. Our custom formulated closed cell flooring is anti-microbial, non slip, anti fatiguing decking designed to withstand the riggers you put your vessel through. If you do not compromise quality and demand the absolute best from your vessel then you are in the right place.
DEKit pieces at the time of purchase are warranted to be free of defects. DEKit material comes with a 3 year workmanship and material warranty. The PSA adhesive cannot be warranted due to many outside issues that may be present during installation. Light Amplification is not covered under DEKit standard warranty, see light amplification tab below for more information regarding this topic.
Light amplification or sun burning occurs when sunlight reflects off gel coat or metal surfaces concentrating a beam of light similar to that of a magnifying glass. This magnification can expose DEKit to temperatures greater than its max operating temperature of 175 ̊F.
DEKit cleans best with soap, water and a stiff brissle brush. For difficult stains SoftScrub, Simple Green, 409, or bleach is recommended. Do not use acid-based cleaners such as Hull Cleaner. Just as with non skid, it will be more difficult to clean blood that has been left to dry. Reel in, bloody the DEK, rinse and repeat.
DEKit uses an easy peel and stick application. We utilize a strong 3M pressure sensitive adhesive that prevents corner peeling and shrinking of your DEKit product from exposure. With proper application you can expect your DEKit to last 5-7 years.
Yes, absolutely. DEKit can be applied to a wide variety of non skid. If you have any questions about your non skid and proper application please contact us
Use fresh razor blade for accurate cuts and best results. We recommend keeping a few blades handy if you are doing multiple cuts.
DEKit sheets are 40″ x 80″.
With proper care and storage, your DEKit can be expected to last 5 to 7 years.
With proper surface preparation at the time of installation your DEKit products can expect to stick to your surface for 5-7 years.
With our closed cell structure DEKit will disperse and reduce heat. Keep in mind that darker colors will be warmer to the touch than lighter foams, but will not exceed heats uncomfortable to touch.
We recommend starting with Dawn Soap and water for your initial prep. Let dry. Then use Isopropyl alcohol to further clean the surface. Let dry. After, you will be ready to start laying down your DEKit product.
Yes we absolutely can custom cut logos. All we need from you is a vector file of your logo and we can create a custom DEKit product for you.
Many people use DEKit to keep pets firmly planted on the boat, however DEKit is made from PE/EVA foam material, so if scratched or clawed at enough, the product will tear or rip. With this being said, DEKit’s closed-cell material will not absorb water if punctured. DEKit is not warranted against pet damage.
DEKit is extremely stain resistant, however a few substances, such as fuel stabilizers, bird droppings, rust, and mustard can be problematic if not attended to in a timely manner. Prompt attention to these types of spills will ensure easy removal.
