Frequently asked questions

• Assembling/maintenance

• Can I assemble the deck my self?

  Yes, if you are a handy person. Remember to read the assembling instructions very carefully.
  
• How do I assemble my tabletop to a support?

  It is very easy, but you have to be careful. Read the assembling instructions first.
  
• Should I oil my deck, or how should I maintain it?

  There are several methods of treatment to choose between depending on how you wants the boat deck to look, and the amount of effort required to maintain that level of appearance. Please read the maintenance document under Documents and Manuals.
  
• What lifespan has a teak deck, comparing with a deck in plastic?

  A properly maintained teak deck will last as long as the life of the boat. A deck of plastic, however, even if you maintain it exemplary, has a lifespan that usually does not exceed ten years.
  

• Environment

• Are decks in plastic better for the environment than a deck in teak?

  All plastic materials consists of chemical products and are not at all good for the environment. Either in the manufacture or at disposal.
  
• Does your teak come from the rainforest?

  No, all our teak comes from plantations in Indonesia. Wild teak has never been grown in Indonesia. The Indonesian plantations are more than 200 years old and they have not expanded in the last 50 years.
  
• How do I know that your teak is legal?

  We have always had the environment first in mind when producing our products and always denied any trade of illegal teak. With our certificate, no IC-COC-100073, from FSC we are one of few companies in the marine business that proudly can say that we are just dealing with legal wood.
  
• Is teak from Burma better?

  Teak that have been growing slowly for hundreds of years is the best teak for marine purpose. But you can only find these trees deep in the Burmese rainforest. Cutting down these trees is illegal and a disaster for the environment. If instead you choose to use special selected teak from plantations they will probably outlive your boat anyway, so why destroy the environment.
  After a lengthy and thorough durability test on selected teak wood from various locations and countries, the final report from The Swedish Institute of Wood Science, established that the geographical location of the teak forests is of no importance for the teak wood product quality.

  Not for the moment, but there might come up one. If you choose any table top of our Nautic Star model you might not even need to have a cup holder because of the caulking which can have an anti-sliding effect.

  The table tops are constructed around a 12 mm thick plywood board, made of hardwood. This makes the top rigid and stable during all conditions. The board has been epoxy treated twice. The surface consists of 4 mm thick teak slats with caulking in between. The frame is solid teak and under the table there is a reinforced epoxy coating covered by a white acrylic film.
