Decking Material

[jacksonp_uk]

Hi

 

I am planning to replace the plywood rear deck on my narrowboat. I have seen some material that I might like to use but do not know what it is or where to obtain it. It is brown in colour and looks a bit like Bakelite and has a circular embossed pattern on it.

 

Anyone know what I am trying to identify please?

 

cheers

Hello Paul

I posted for similar information a while ago in the equipment forum and got some useful information. I tried to post a link to it but could not work out how. If you search for "deck board" with poster "Speedwell" you should find it.

Here is a link to a site that I found useful.

Phenolic Resin Board

- Goes under many trade names, such as rhinoboard and hexagrip.

 

There are several past thread on it if you search for "phenolic" on the forum.

Lathams timber merchants sell it, but it might be to order, and I think then they have a minimum order of £100. Mind you I don't think £100 will buy much phenolic plywood.

[DHutch]

Yeah, its not cheep!

- Might be able to find someone to share half a 8*4 sheet with you, whcih might save you a fiar bit.

Pheonel coated flooring is used in the commercial vehicle industry for flooring trucks etc. Its exactly as described with one face antslip, I have it right throughout the boat for flooring and a section of the deck as well. I can get it for £31 per 8 x 4 sheet @ 18mm thick (Comes in various thickness' 22mm is probably the most common for trucks but a bit heavy for the boat). But depends where you are of course.

Yeah, it is dam good stuff!

- Flightcases are made out of it too, usally around 10mm, bombproof stuff.

Hi

 

Thanks for the info. That sounds a really good price. Does your supplier offer a cutting service as well?

The supplier doesnt but I can get it cut for you. You will have to buy the whole sheet though. It can be a bit of a bugger to cut as well as the coating is hard and can chip fairly easily

Hi

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I actually need 2 sheets in order to get all the bits I require and these need cutting into 6 pieces.

 

If you are willing to help me how can we go about this?

 

cheers

Hi

 

My narrowboat is based at Redhill Marina, Ratcliffe on Soar. We do travel to Shropshire from time to time in our work.

 

Where are you based?

Any chance you could get me a board, and cut into 4 manageable sections?

 

Cash in hand plus a couple of beers

 

How much more is the 22mm?

Yep, can get you a board, got one here now.

 

It actually 21mm, I'll find out the cost and let you know.

 

If you want the 18mm I can get it cut to whatever sizes you want and TNT it to your work, all at cost, you could have it tomorrow if you like?

It really is a pain in the proverbial posterior, not being able to get online at w**k.

 

Thanks for that, PM heading your way very shortly.
