A brand with international origin

SeaDek is originally a U.S. patented brand, developed in the United States to meet the high demands of the marine industry.
Thanks to its performance, durability and versatility, the product quickly gained recognition and expanded into the European market, where production and development have continued to evolve to meet local standards and requirements.

Today, SeaDek combines American innovation with European manufacturing, ensuring a product that meets the expectations of professional installers, shipyards and boat owners across Europe.

From idea to installation

When a SeaDek project is approved, there is much more behind it than just cutting and installing a deck. From the first measurements to the final installation, each project goes through several carefully coordinated stages to ensure precision, durability and a perfect fit.

1. Measuring and project preparation

The process starts on board. Measurements are taken directly on the boat by the installer, using different methods depending on the project: traditional templating with plastic sheets or advanced digital solutions such as photogrammetry and 3D scanning.
This step is crucial to ensure that every piece fits perfectly once produced.

2. Design and customization

Once the measurements or scans are completed, the project is sent to our design team.
Here, designers transform the data into precise digital layouts, defining shapes, borders, patterns and color combinations according to the client’s preferences and the specific characteristics of the boat.

This is where each SeaDek installation becomes truly custom.

3. Material preparation and quality control

After the design is approved, the material preparation begins.
The EVA foam is manufactured in Spain and processed entirely in Europe, following strict quality standards. Before machining, the material goes through a quality control process to ensure consistency, density and performance.

4. CNC machining and finishing

The selected color layers are carefully bonded together, and the material is then machined using high-precision CNC equipment.
This process guarantees clean cuts, perfect tolerances and a professional finish on every piece.

Depending on the project, different surface finishes can be applied — each one designed to meet specific aesthetic and functional needs for marine use.

5. Adhesive application and final checks

Once machining is complete, the marine-grade adhesive is applied to the back of each piece.
Every component is checked again before packaging to ensure it meets the required standards.

6. Shipping and installation

The finished kit is then shipped to its destination — whether that’s Mallorca or anywhere else in Europe.
From there, the installer carries out the final installation on board, ensuring correct placement, alignment and sealing for a long-lasting result.

A controlled process, from start to finish

By keeping the entire process within Europe — from raw material to production — we ensure full control over quality, traceability and performance.
This is what allows us to deliver a product that meets the expectations of both professional installers and demanding boat owners.
