Marine grade carpet and flooring is designed to withstand the tough marine environment without fading or degrading. It is produced from PVC and/or solution dyed fibers enhanced with UV stabilizers that protect it from extreme sun, salt and moisture. The backings applied to marine flooring are also uniquely designed for the application – whether to wrap around pedestals and boat contours, or to lay on top of a finished fiberglass floor – the quality backings Corinthian applies are as important as the beautiful face of the flooring.

The team at Corinthian Marine has been involved in the design and manufacturing of marine carpet and flooring since the late 80’s. In fact, we were the first to develop the AquaMat® drop-in or snap-in boat mat system for fiberglass liner boats. We have been around the industry for a long time and have the most experience under our belts of any marine carpet and flooring aftermarket supplier. So, while you cannot buy life vests, fishing poles or other gear from Corinthian Marine, you can be confident that when you talk to us about boat flooring you are getting years of expertise. All of us are dedicated to what we do, which is making sure you get The Best Walk on Water®

Glue Down Marine Flooring is sold to replace boat flooring that has been glued to the boat floor. It is permanently adhered to the surface and cannot be easily removed. It must be “torn out” for replacement. New glue down marine flooring is designed to be cut on site and installed with an adhesive directly to the surface of the deck. Much of our glue down marine grade flooring is moldable for the contours of a boat and hatches but is not suitable for binding or snap-in boat mat applications.

AquaMat® Custom Fit Boat Mats are designed to lay on top of fiberglass liners and are usually held in place with snaps. They are cut to shape and bound on the edges. When you receive your new AquaMat® it will be ready to be placed directly onto your boat floor. Most of Corinthian Marine’s AquaMat® flooring utilizes our exclusive AquaLoc® backing that provides unbeatable durability and unparalleled skid and slip resistance.

Corinthian Marine carpeting and flooring is easy to maintain. It requires occasional hosing off and vacuuming. When necessary, use a non-solvent based, high-quality carpet cleaner to remove stubborn stains, always being careful to remove all cleaner residues with water. It’s also best to avoid pressure hoses and harsh bristle brushes (even nylon, if its too stiff – soft bristles only)

It depends. The fibers and yarns will not promote mold or mildew growth on their own. However, the right combination of organic matter (dirt and spills), moisture and trapped heat can cause mold or mildew growth. The simple solution is to clean up dirt and spills before you cover and put the boat away.

Some colors are hotter than others, however, most of our flooring is cooler than a bare fiberglass deck. Heat absorption tests indicate there is some heat retained, however all flooring will retain heat in hot/sunny environments.

The cost to replace your boat floor depends on the size of the floor you want to cover and the type of material you select. Corinthian prices by the square foot so you can calculate an estimate:

Direct Glue Down

Standard width of material you choose x length of the floor area you are covering (bow to stern) X sf price = Cost of material

AquaMat®

Measure the length x the width of all the pieces nested together x sf price = Cost of an AquaMat®

Corinthian Marine has an estimator on each glue down product page to assist you in calculating cost, just plug in the length and the price will calculate for you based on your individual dimensions. Our specialists are happy to guide through the estimating process without any obligation or commitment on your part.

For a finished AquaMat® estimate, there are a lot of variables involved. Please contact us at (585) 208-4830 or by filling out the Contact Us form and we can do our best to quote or estimate the costs for you.

Basic upkeep is the best defense to keep your AquaMat® carpet or flooring looking new. Maintain marine grade carpet face by hosing off or vacuuming regularly. Do not pressure wash.

Use a non-solvent based, high-quality carpet cleaner to remove stubborn stains, always being careful to remove all cleaner residues with water. We do not recommend any harsh chemicals such as bleach and suggest that you test in a small area first. If you use a bristle brush, make sure to use soft bristles only, especially with the new AquaWeave materials. Stiff bristles and hard scrubbing may damage the surface texture and coatings.

Lastly, an AquaMat® boat mat should dry completely before storing. When storing, always roll your AquaMat® boat mat carpet face out and NEVER fold.
