Our patented system allows us to produce complete decks and floors in pre-assembled panels. The TDS panel system eliminates the need to tediously hand lay a deck plank by plank, significantly speeding up the installation of a new or replacement deck. For the owner of a vessel having its deck replaced, this means that the vessel will be out of service for a shorter period of time. Teakdecking Systems® is dedicated to producing the finest quality teak decks and interior floors in the world for the smallest boats to the largest ships.
