Deckfab and Beautiful Marine Floor Installations
Understanding the Difference
How Our Certification Works
At Deckfab, we ensure every deck project meets the highest standards by separating material quality from installation quality.
Teektrue = Deck Certification
Our team certifies the deck and the material. This ensures that your deck is made from premium materials and built to last.
Deckfab and Beautiful Marine Floors = Installation Certification
Deckfab certifies the boatyard or installer. This guarantees that the yard or fitter meets strict training and quality standards, so your deck is installed professionally and safely.
Together, this dual certification gives you peace of mind: premium materials and expert installation, all backed by recognized, trusted standards.
Installation certification methods
Deckfab Certified Yards
For larger vessels, typically 45ft and above, full-size Teektrue certified decks are fabricated and installed at a certified yard. These established boatyards have undercover facilities and the experience to remove old teak, fittings, caulking, and hardware before the new deck is fitted. This method delivers the highest quality and durability, though it comes at a higher overall project cost due to the scale of work and professional yard facilities required.
Beautiful Marine Floor Mobile Fitters
For smaller boats, Beautiful Marine Floors fit Deckfab “Express” panels. These prefabricated panels are designed for quicker installation and can often be fitted directly on site without the need for full yard facilities. This makes the process faster and more cost-effective, providing a practical option for smaller areas, partial replacements, or projects where budget and turnaround time are key considerations. Installation guarantees are provided directly by the Beautiful Marine Floor subcontractor but their suitability and experience for such work is checked by Beautiful Marine Floors to allow them to advertise themselves as certified fitters.
