History of Permateek
Permateek first appeared for the first time at the Southampton Boat Show in the UK back in 2005 now some six years later Permateek synthetic decking has has earned its place as a brand leader in the synthetic decking industry and is available in the UK, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg, Poland, Norway, Austria, Russia and is expanding all the time. Regardless of our size we continue to improve on our product and systems and to build on our solid brand image based on good service and extremely high quality.
The production technology and fitting techniques now employed means that Permateek decks have reached the point that they can easily be confused with real teak. We have taken synthetic decking to a new height and our fitted decks look as much at home on a sixty metre luxury yacht as they do on a small dinghy or power boat.
Hand Crafted
All Permateek decks are hand crafted from individual synthetic teak planks utilising traditional styles and designs. We have striven to achieve what we think is the ultimate in synthetic teak decking. There is a high degree of skill and expertise that goes into each and every process of fabricating a custom made Permateek deck.
We rarely use stock templates as we have found that no two boats are the same, even from the same manufacturer. All projects are individually patterned by hand to ensure a perfect fit. When fabricating deck panels we do not simply glue them together, each seam is individually hand welded to ensure it will not shrink or come apart at the seams. When assembled we spend a great deal of time on each completed panel undertaking our highly guarded secret system of hand finishing, this is one of the reasons why a Permateek deck looks so authentic and does not look like a typical plastic deck.
Many of our satisfied customers have commented that they would have never of considered installing a synthetic deck before they had discovered the convincing appearance of Permateek. When you choose a quality Permateek deck you can be assured that your project will be undertaken by a highly trained Permateek craftsman who is fully conversant in all aspects of synthetic deck making. To this end we have now increased our efforts to open branches and appoint fitters all around the world to expand our service in order to allow more people to enjoy the luxury of a Permateek deck.
