Here we are talking about head linings and wood finishes,do we paint,cover with vinyl or just leave natural,the choice can be decided by time and effort,which in real terms means the required labour and cost.
Thai teak style grab rails are still a stock item,ours use selected plantation teak,which is what these grab rails are made from.We also stock teak air vent rings in teak and can make hatch trims to your order. Click on the picture for more detail.
This boats head liners were fitted fully with the intention of next applying a glued on layer of vinyl in a beige or cream colour.Then a vist by a very nice lady said ' Oh, I thought it was finished,it looks fine to me' the 3.6mm ply panels were then given some coats of clear satin twin pack laquers and that was the end of the job.
The cost to remove the panels and cover then refit in materials,time and labour would have been a weeks work for one guy? plus the added weight just were a sailing boat does not need it would have done the boats performance no good at all,not to forget the cost to the vinyl and contact glue.The secret in this case is the boats large windows,the infussion of light just soaks up the WBP grade commercial plys grain and textures.
