SeaDek is a superior alternative to marine carpet and traditional molded-in non-skid. Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the outdoor environment, SeaDek is made from UV-resistant closed-cell PE/EVA foam that will not absorb water, and provides exceptional traction when wet or dry. SeaDek’s shock absorbing qualities deliver maximum comfort on the water, and fishermen appreciate its sound-dampening properties. SeaDek is fully customizable, and brings an aesthetically pleasing style to boats of all sizes.
Yes. SeaDek adheres very well to most molded-in non-skids and properly applied and maintained aggregate type non-skid paints, as long as the surface is cleaned properly prior to installation. For extremely aggressive textures, we recommend sending photos to our Customer Service Team at customerservice@seadek.com

Given the wide range of uses for RVs, from the occasional, once-a-year trip to everyday living, it’s challenging to provide a specific life expectancy for SeaDek RV Step Covers. We know there will be plenty of adventures while using our treads, which is why we have crafted them using two different material options – SeaDek HD and SeaDek Classic. SeaDek HD, perfect for the everyday high-traffic user, features a unique Tetrapod texture and offers a durable outer shell that’s built to withstand rigorous wear and tear. SeaDek Classic, designed with the comfort-seeking user in mind, showcases both our Teak routing option and our Embossed texture, providing a softer, more cushioned feel underfoot. The variety of options is what makes SeaDek RV Step Covers perfect for your steps!

shrink up to ¼”, and for this reason, we suggest leaving a ½” gap between parts.

Many people use SeaDek to keep pets firmly planted on the boat, however SeaDek is made from PE/EVA blended foam materials, so if scratched or clawed at enough, the product will tear or rip. With this being said, SeaDek’s closed-cell material will not absorb water if punctured. SeaDek is not warranted against pet damage.
SeaDek is extremely stain resistant, however a few substances, such as fuel stabilizers, bird droppings, rust, and mustard can be problematic if not attended to in a timely manner. Prompt attention to these types of spills will ensure easy removal.
INSTALLATION & PRODUCT CARE
SeaDek utilizes an acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive for a robust bond and easy peel-and-stick application.
Yes. SeaDek adheres very well to most molded-in non-skids and properly applied and maintained aggregate type non-skid paints, as long as the surface is cleaned properly prior to installation.
For extremely aggressive textures, we recommend testing the area with a PSA test strip. To request PSA test strips, send photos of the texture in question, along with your shipping address to our Customer Service Team at customerservice@seadek.com
The best method to clean SeaDek is with Dek Magic, which is SeaDek’s genuine branded cleaner, specifically formulated for use with PE/EVA foam. If Dek Magic is not available, SeaDek cleans easily with soap, hot water, and a stiff brush. For stubborn areas, a number of household products can be used. Do not use acid-based cleaners such as MaryKate’s Hull Cleaner. Click here for more information.
For best results, use a fresh bladed razor knife. You may have to change blades during the job, depending on the amount of cuts made.

SeaDek is designed for a semi-permanent installation, but can be removed. The best method is to use a plastic putty knife to get under one corner, then grip and pull off. If the PE/EVA seems to be sticking and tearing, apply small amounts of acetone to the PSA and continue lifting with the putty knife. You may want to enlist another set of hands to assist. Once the entire pad is removed, there will be a small amount of PSA left on the surface. Soak with mineral spirits for 10 minutes, scrape with the plastic putty knife and a rag. Once the PSA has been removed, use acetone to remove the mineral spirits.
Wash surface thoroughly and let dry. Immediately before installation, wipe down the surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a new clean rag to remove any dirt, sunscreen, wax, sweat, etc. If the boat is new, you should repeat several times, as new boats often have residual mold release that may hinder adhesion. Be sure to check local and states laws regarding chemicals before using any questionable substances on the water.
