First order of business was to have the V berth cushions recovered in a new vinyl material called Naugasoft. This vinyl has been tested for excellent abrasion resistance, ease of maintenance, and a -20 deg. cold crack resistance! It will be replacing a brown fabric material that in my opinion has kind of a course feel to it. We had a local upholsterer at NWI Upholstery recover the cushions, and they turned out excellent! The floors are Teak and Holly flooring by Plasteak. They were surprisingly easy to cut to fit based on patterns I made using the old carpets. I still need to glue them down, but at least I got all the cutting/trimming out of the way now.

There is still a lot more work to be done but it sure has been nice to fight cabin fever, slip under the winter covers and get some work done.
wow ! great interior design
ReplyDeleteI love the floors. We are thinking about using Plasteak as well. Was it easy to use and do you still like it?
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteThe Plasteak flooring has been one of our favorite upgrades and after a couple of years of use it still looks like new. The material is so easy to work with that I traced the carpets onto the flooring and cut it to fit with a utility knife. We didn't end up gluing ours down and use it much like a removable mat. I plan to adhere it to a thin rubber mat to give it a little more weight and grip on the floor. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us at boatinglakemichigan@gmail.com
