Lay Teak Effect Flooring

[JORIDAPILOT]

Actual material is Treadmaster Atlanteak TKC, see http://www.treadmaster.co.uk/tkc.html
It is a resin bonded granulated cork and comes in sheets, either rectangular or made to your own templates.

Hows the floor wearing? Is it easy to clean and stains etc? Thinking of the same for mine!!

Ahhh .. I thought you had used Sea-Dek ....

I am at point of deciding on a product, did you chose TreadMaster in preference to sea-dek ? ........ if so any particular pro's / cons ?

All I know is yours is based on bonded cork, and the other on a PVC compound

I used Treadmaster Atlanteak TKC, it is granulated cork bound in some form of resin.

The floor is wearing quite well. It does mark with the rubber feet of the seat legs, white rubber for some reason, but the marks scrub off quite easily.
I will give an update when it has had some serious use, probably next season.

I chose it on the basis of cost, all other types were far more expensive.

I haven't any experience on the other makes, I did get quotes and they were all more expensive. My guess is that you need more skill to produce a decent job with the individual plank type floors, especially for curves and funny corners.

The PVC types are sanded to bring back the surface if they get cut or badly marked. The Treadmaster product is also sanded as the last stage of manufacture but as it is thinner then it wont take as much sanding during its lifespan without losing the joint detail.

ok thanks that's the interesting thing to see really.
