Flexiteek
Flexiteek is the pioneer of synthetic teak decking, having introduced the original PVC alternative to the market in 2000. Headquartered in Essex, England, with operations spanning Sweden, Poland, and the USA, the company utilizes a global distributor network to provide installation and support.
The product range is engineered to replicate the natural grain and texture of real wood while offering significant performance advantages for the yachting industry.
The latest evolution, Flexiteek 3, is a third-generation synthetic deck made from non-fossil fuel-derived sustainable PVC. This material is designed to be up to 35% lighter than competing synthetic products and features high-efficiency thermal properties, maintaining a surface temperature comparable to natural teak.
With a focus on practicality and durability, these surfaces are easier to maintain than traditional timber, requiring only water for cleaning while resisting the typical wear associated with the marine environment.
