Product faq’s
Yes. The textured surface provides reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions, helping to reduce slips and falls onboard.
EVA is closed-cell foam, so it won’t absorb water. This keeps it lightweight, quick-drying, and easy to maintain.
EVA flooring stays cooler than fiberglass or vinyl but will warm up in direct sun. Light colours remain noticeably cooler than dark shades, and rinsing with water quickly reduces surface heat.
Yes. EVA’s cushioning helps dampen vibrations and reduces deck noise — ideal for fishing and family boating.
Yes. You can combine different colours or patterns across zones — for example, a teak-look finish in the cockpit and a diamond grip on swim platforms. This not only looks sharp but can also help define different areas of the boat.
Neptune EVA flooring is tough enough to handle heavy foot traffic, fishing gear, coolers, and onboard equipment. It’s designed for everyday boating use without losing grip or comfort.
Yes. Choose from a wide range of colours, teak-style finishes, and CNC cut logos or names to give your boat a unique, personalised look.
Yes. Neptune offers multiple patterns and textures — from teak plank styles to diamond grip and brushed finishes — so you can match your flooring to both style and function.
Absolutely. It’s UV-protected to reduce fading, and its closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, which helps stop mould, mildew, and bacteria growth.
Neptune EVA flooring is lightweight, non-slip, UV-stable, and cushioned for comfort.
Unlike carpet, it won’t hold water, rot, or trap odours. Compared to fiberglass, it’s softer underfoot and reduces fatigue during long days on the water.
EVA foam naturally absorbs shock, easing pressure on your feet, knees, and back. This makes standing, fishing, or entertaining on deck far more comfortable than hard alternatives.
Standard 6mm
Yes. Neptune flooring is designed and produced to withstand Australia’s harsh marine environment, including strong UV rays and saltwater exposure.
Compared to carpet, EVA is cleaner, drier, and longer-lasting. Unlike vinyl, it stays cooler in the sun and won’t crack. Compared to teak, it’s lighter, easier to install, and more affordable — while still delivering great grip and comfort.

Boat Compatibility & Coverage faq’s
EVA foam can be fitted almost anywhere — including cockpits, bows, casting decks, swim platforms, transoms, walkways, and even helm stations.
Yes. EVA foam can be applied to vertical and angled surfaces like gunwales, steps, and cabin walls, provided they are smooth and prepped.
It’s not usually recommended for overhead hardtops that receive extreme sun exposure.
Yes. Neptune flooring suits almost every type of vessel. It’s equally popular for fishing boats, ski boats, pontoons, yachts, and sailboats, with each install customised to the layout.
Yes. EVA adheres well to both aluminium and fibreglass when surfaces are smooth and properly prepared. It’s ideal for tinnies, plate boats, and fibreglass hulls alike.
Definitely. EVA can be applied over hatches and access lids for a seamless look. Panels are cut precisely so they remain easy to open and fully functional.
Maintenance & Cleaning FAQ’s
Rinse with fresh water after each use & a PH Neutral car wash or soap and lightly brush with a soft-bristle brush, gurney not to close though.
Use a mild soap or marine cleaner with warm water and scrub gently.
Yes — pH-neutral cleaners or EVA-safe marine deck cleaners. Always avoid harsh solvents.
Never use bleach, acetone, strong degreasers, wire brushes, or high-pressure washers — these can damage the foam and adhesive.
A quick rinse after each trip and a soapy wash every few weeks is ideal. Covering your boat when not in use helps extend lifespan.

- Light amplification which magnifies the damaging effects of the sun and may cause ‘sunburn’ and premature fading on any and all foam products.

No. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is not transferable.
With correct maintenance and protection from light amplification, Neptune flooring can last 5–7 years or longer in Australian conditions.
Yes. Individual pads or sections can be replaced without redoing the entire deck, making repairs straightforward.
Light amplification occurs when reflective surfaces like glass or stainless steel focus intense sunlight onto the deck, creating hot spots that damage EVA.
Prevent this with window shades, boat covers, or protective panels when docked.
On sunny days, check for concentrated bright spots or unusually hot patches on your deck. If found, use shading or reposition your boat to reduce reflections.
