Marine deck.
Engineered as a system.
Digitally measured. Prefabricated. Installed.
A controlled, repeatable deck system for professional boatbuilders, engineered for consistent quality across every vessel.
Standardizing the decking process to eliminate variability, reduce failure risk and deliver predictable performance at scale.
Digital precision
Not a product. A decking system.
The DEQX Engineered Deck System is built on a standardized digital workflow. Each deck is digitally measured, parametrically designed and prefabricated for an exact fit.
Integrated with Sika chemistry, the system ensures controlled performance from bonding to finishing.
Engineered to Endure.
Elastic. Durable. Stable.
A deck performs as well as its weakest point. Usually, that’s the bond line. The DEQX Engineered Deck System controls this risk through full material integration and controlled application. Built with Sika® polyurethane technology. Engineered for long-term performance in marine environments.
Built exclusively with Sika ® materials.
Integrated by DEQX into a standardized system for maximum performance and long-term reliability. Proven in marine environments.
Polyurethane technology
A high-performance alternative to PVC and natural teak.
Based on polyurethane chemistry, offering controlled elasticity, UV stability and minimal thermal movement, maintaining appearance and integrity under continuous marine exposure.
Cool Touch Technology™
Engineered to reduce heat.
CoolTouch delivers a lower surface temperature that is more comfortable under bare feet. Even in direct sun.
CoolTouch ® is a registered trademark of Sika Technology AG, Switzerland
Beyond materials: what defines deck performance.
Most decking materials are compared on appearance and durability. Performance is defined by the system behind it.Polyurethane is a material. The outcome depends on how it is engineered and applied.
