A controlled deck solution for professional boatbuilders.
Delivering precision, consistency and long-term performance.
Digitally measured, parametrically designed and prefabricated for an exact fit. Built as a fully engineered deck system with unified chemistry.
A deck performs as well as its weakest point. Usually, that’s the bond line. The 3X 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.
Integrated by DEQX into a standardized system for maximum performance and long-term reliability. Proven in marine environments.
A high-performance alternative to PVC and wood.
Elastic, UV-resistant and dimensionally stable, designed for marine durability.
We guarantee a lower surface temperature. More comfortable under bare feet. Even in direct sun.
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.
| Parameter | GRIP Engineered System | PVC Synthetic Teak | EVA Foam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Synthetic teak within engineered Sika® system | PVC synthetic | Closed-cell EVA foam |
| Lifespan | Long-term & predictable | Long-term (material dependent) | Short to moderate |
| Appearance | Consistent & engineered teak look | Realistic teak-like appearance | Soft, less realistic |
| Installation & bonding | Engineered Sika-on-Sika bonding system | Adhesive dependent (installer-based) | Pressure-sensitive adhesive |
| System integration | Fully integrated (measurement → production → installation) | Fragmented (material + installer) | Product-based |
| Consistency | High & repeatable (data-driven) | Variable (installer dependent) | Moderate |
GRIP uses Sika® adhesive on Sika® deck material. One chemistry, one integrated system. Fully compatible from hull to surface.
