The blistering sun can do a number on boat decks through the summer months. This can have a negative effect on the structure of a boat, in addition to making it very uncomfortable for bare feet to walk on. However, the right kind of flooring can bring an end to that discomfort no matter how hot the weather gets.
DEKit is made with a closed cell structure and that is significant because one of its primary functions is to disperse incoming heat. It also works to reduce the level of heat. Additionally, the closed cell structure negates the foam from retaining water. This is an added bonus and one more reason why DEKit is such a unique and effective product.
It should be noted that darker colors will naturally get warmer in the sun, although DEKit foam will not reach temperatures that are uncomfortable to the touch. Lighter color foam attracts less heat and will not bother boaters’ bare feet on the hottest of summer days. Even DEKit’s darker colors allow for worry-free foot traffic.
This is all attributed to the design. DEKit does not used an open cell structure, which would disallow many of its positive attributes. To understand the uniqueness of DEKit’s design, it is important to understand how the sun’s rays can impact a boat. The ultraviolet rays may be filtered out, although the heat at near sea level can climb to torrid temperatures.
Think of the floor of your boat as a type of magnet that attracts heat. Just a little bit of time out in the hot sun can make it painful to walk on. This is why the alternative of DEKit flooring can be an excellent solution. Most boats come equipped with vinyl, plywood or even carpet decking. But none have the intricate type of design that is capable of cooling the surface.
