Decking & Transom Solutions for Boat Manufacturers
Baltic birch plywood can be surface-treated, making it suitable for boat flooring. Our plywood is used for boat decking including and transoms. Comfort, aesthetics, and environmental protection all come into play when choosing the best plywood for boats. Anti-rot treatment and fungicide protect the plywood from naturally occurring moisture while reinforcements protect the surface from heavy foot traffic.
Anti-Slip Plywood for Boat Decking
Anti-slip plywood has a treated mesh surface coating designed to offer better slip resistance. This plywood is generally a more cost-effective option compared to specialized decks and coatings. Additional plywood construction and treatment options are available to ensure the following benefits:
- Slip Resistance. We have several anti-slip plywood options available, each offering varying degrees of traction. You’ll want to choose an anti-slip coating that fits your pontoon’s application. Pontoons regularly exposed to moisture will likely need higher slip resistance, for example.
- Foot Traffic. Pontoon decking that experiences heavy foot traffic must be durable enough to withstand wear and tear.
- Climate. Effective weatherproofing is critical to ensure pontoon boat decking can withstand moisture, extreme temperatures, and ambient conditions. Outdoor surfaces will last longer with weatherproof plywood.
Installing anti-slip plywood is quick and requires basic woodworking tools. Basic cleaning and periodic reseals are typically all you need to retain the decking’s anti-slip properties and maximize the product’s lifespan.

Our Hexa film is an excellent choice for pontoon boat decking. The following are just some of the benefits you can enjoy with this product:
