Teak Decking Is A Labour Of Love
<<>>Fiberglass is practical, teak decking is beautiful. Of course it needs constant attention and watchfulness.
Sailors who understand the material present on their deck are in an informed position to choose between the two. With the increase in pollution, comes another wood predator.
The wood is very strong. However it can be undermined from all sides. Firstly by damp. The caulking between the planks is subjected to wear and tear. This in turn allows moisture into contact with the wood. Once damp is established it undermines the finishing on the planks. If the area is not swiftly fixed, then the water will get underneath.
Pollution attacks wood by dissolving in rain. Through acid erosion, finishes and varnishes become less protective, so the surface is reached. The best way to prevent this protective breech is reapplying the preferred varnish or finish regularly. Wooden decks are for mindful sailors. Upkeep is mandatory and so not for the faint hearted.
