Teak deck refurbishment in Mallorca: the right care for your yacht
A teak deck loses strength over the years. A layer of washed-out wood fibres remains on the surface. Such a deck dries slowly and leads to a faster loss of substance. With a screwed teak deck, plugs become a problem over time. They wear out or lose their ability to hold. As a result, the screw connection becomes exposed and unprotected. A leaking threaded connection can sometimes irreparably damage the fibreglass-reinforced plastic or plywood deck under the teak.
If your teak deck shows signs of wear and tear, you must act quickly, as rainwater can penetrate under individual deck poles and cause considerable damage once the joint sealant has separated from the wooden side surfaces of the poles.
There is a solution – a timely teak deck refurbishment
A professional teak deck refurbishment is a challenging but also very rewarding measure to increase and maintain the value and longevity of your yacht. Our team endeavours to refurbish teak decks in all shapes and designs. We have also developed a method for re-milling the deck joints to prevent the joints from widening. In this case, the presence of wood substance with a thickness of at least 8 mm is an important prerequisite for teak deck refurbishment.
The teak deck restoration we carry out in Mallorca includes:
- Removal of the old grout
- Sanding of the teak deck
- Dismantling of all fittings
- Replacement of individual bars
- Replacement of deck screw connections
- Sealing the deck with a sealing compound
- Fine sanding and fitting assembly
Each individual fitting is thoroughly cleaned by hand using cotton buds and special cleaning agents. The assembly of cleaned parts requires the knowledge and experience of our employees.
If you have any questions, simply contact us using one of the methods available. We will be happy to provide you with all the information you are interested in and help you to ensure that your yacht will serve you for many years to come.
