NAUTIKFLOR teak flooring on a MY53 // Install

[metama]

This project started back in May and never took those "finished" photos. As soon as June came around the family came aboard and those last 3 hatches didn't get completed. I'm hoping for April and giving up on '19 so here you go!


For those that are interested the Nautikflor is great. After putting down luxury vinyl plank (That is a thing, I didn't make it up), in my basement, I thought it would be great for the carpet replacement on-board. When down very nice, not to thick but had padding to cover up a bump or slight dip. After way over ordering edging found something that worked out nice. Glued it down on the original subfloor.


Next up are the steps to the galley. Let me know if anyone has a wood/finish recommend. I'm thinking Walnut with some graphics and CNC elements that get ridged in an anti-slip rubber caulking. And yes I did redo all the surfaces in granite. I know, I know, but we like it! Some day next season we will "finish up" and post better images.

I think it all looks great. Nautikflor is a lot of work, but it came out really well.

I used 5/4 bull nose Cherry, teak stain and a floor poly finish. Brushed stainless transition caps.

That looks great! I really like the Nautikflor. I used in my my motorhome a couple of years ago. They say you can put it down with no glue, but I wasn't comfortable with that so I glued it down. Its actually pretty easy to cut and put down. Even curved edges, etc are easy to cut with a jig saw.

Looks great. I used the same color Nautikflor in my galley and have been pleased with it. Sky they told me only in residential applications can you NOT use glue. They strongly advise I used it on boat or anything that would move like an RV.

I spoke to the distributor, but it was a couple of years ago so maybe they realized that it was best to glue it.

Looks fantastic. Keep us in the loop as it wears. Let us know how you like it a year or so from now. I hear it wears like iron. Thanks for sharing.
