MARINE SHEET PLASTIC
Q: What type of plastic should I use for my boat?
A: Starboard is an excellent marine grade plastic for use on boats. It is UV stabilized so it will not break down in the sun, and is very forgiving when working with normal wood working tools. There is also anti-slip starboard rear deck platforms and flooring.
Q: What plastic would you recommend for a side port window?
A: Smoked acrylic is the most common replacement for tinted boat windows. Thicknesses can range depending on your window frame, or your OEM window. Clear acrylic is also an option.
Q: What are hatch windows typically made from?
A: Hatch windows are most commonly used with .5" or thicker clear or smoked acrylic
Q: Can your company make plastic replacement companionways?
A: Most companionways are made from teak; however, wood weathers and rots out after time. Our replacement panels would be made from either clear or smoked acrylic, and custom cut to the shape of your old panels.
