SeaDek & Marine Flooring in North Bay

Lavigne's Canvas Co. installs SeaDek, woven vinyl and marine carpet flooring in its shop at 102 Booth Rd in North Bay, Ontario. SeaDek is a soft, non-skid closed-cell foam for cockpits, swim platforms, casting decks and hatches; woven vinyl is the go-to for pontoon decks; and marine carpet still suits many fishing boats. Every floor is templated to your boat and cut to fit around hatches, cleats and seat bases, with custom logos, boat names and fish rulers if you want them. Flooring is quoted per boat and can be done alone or with new seating.

Which floor is right for your boat?

SeaDek, Woven Vinyl or Marine Carpet?

All three are made for boats. The right one depends on the hull, how wet the floor gets and how you use the boat.

Option 1

SeaDek

Closed-cell non-skid foam

  • Soft and grippy, even when wet
  • Doesn't absorb water
  • Logos, borders and fish rulers

Best forBowriders, ski boats, swim platforms and casting decks

Option 2

Woven vinyl

Woven marine flooring on a backing

  • Hose it off and it dries fast
  • Won't hold mildew like carpet
  • Teak-look and modern patterns

Best forPontoon decks and large open floors

Option 3

Marine carpet

Traditional marine-grade carpet

  • Lowest upfront cost
  • Warm underfoot, quiet
  • Easy to match on hatches

Best forFishing boats and aluminum hulls

Old marine carpet is often the first thing to go on a used boat: it holds water, smells musty and stains no matter how much you scrub. Swapping it for SeaDek or woven vinyl is one of the quickest ways to make a boat feel newer. Floors are often done at the same time as new seat upholstery, or as part of a full pontoon restoration.

The details that stand out

Your Boat, Your Design

A good floor fits like it came from the factory. A great one looks like nobody else's.

Crest engraved into grey SeaDek flooring

Engraved detail

Crests, logos and lettering are cut into the surface so they stay crisp and never peel off like a decal.

SeaDek floor piece cut to a template with cut-outs

Cut to a template

Pieces are templated on the boat and cut to shape, with cut-outs for cup holders, drains and seat bases.

SeaDek hatch lid with a two-tone border

Two-tone borders

Contrasting edges and inlays outline hatches and panels and give the floor a finished look.

Close-up of woven vinyl marine flooring texture

Woven vinyl for pontoons

Tough woven vinyl, such as Infinity, that stands up to sun, wet feet and years of winter storage.

  • Teak-look, brushed & solid textures
  • Two-tone borders & inlays
  • Boat names & logos
  • Fish rulers
  • Helm pads & step pads
  • Cooler box & hatch tops

Floors are templated on the boat, the same way the shop uses the Proliner digital measuring system for canvas and seats. Every edge follows your deck instead of a generic kit, and the pattern is kept so a damaged piece can be replaced later.

Old carpet out, new floor in

How New Boat Flooring Goes In

Five steps, done in the North Bay shop.

  1. 01

    Call or send photos

    Tell the shop the boat, the floor you have now and what you're thinking: SeaDek, woven vinyl or carpet.

  2. 02

    Pick colours and design

    Choose the top and border colours, the texture, and any logos, names, fish rulers or patterns.

  3. 03

    Template the boat

    The deck is measured and templated so every piece fits around hatches, cleats, drains and seat bases.

  4. 04

    Cut the pieces

    Each panel is cut to shape, with logos and borders added, before anything goes on the boat.

  5. 05

    Prep and install

    Old carpet comes up, the surface is cleaned and prepped, and the new floor goes down piece by piece.

Flooring questions

SeaDek & Marine Flooring FAQ

Something else? Call the shop at 705-410-6872.

How much does SeaDek cost in North Bay?

It depends on how much of the boat you're covering, the number of pieces, and extras like logos, two-tone borders or fish rulers. A swim platform pad is a small job; a full cockpit with hatches is a bigger one. Lavigne's Canvas Co. quotes flooring per boat. Call 705-410-6872 or send photos with the quote form for a ballpark.

Should I choose SeaDek, woven vinyl or marine carpet?

SeaDek suits fibreglass bowriders, ski boats, swim platforms and casting decks where you want a soft, non-skid surface. Woven vinyl is the usual pick for pontoon decks because it covers large areas, cleans easily and doesn't hold water. Marine carpet is still a good, lower-cost option for many fishing boats. The shop will recommend what suits your boat and how you use it.

Can SeaDek go over my old carpet?

No. The old carpet comes up first. SeaDek bonds to a clean, smooth surface, so the deck is cleaned and prepped before the new pieces go down. If anything underneath needs attention, you'll hear about it before the install.

Can you put my boat name or a logo in the flooring?

Yes. Boat names, family names, team logos, crests and patterns can be built into SeaDek in contrasting colours, along with fish rulers on casting decks. Send the logo file or a photo and the shop will show you how it will look.

How do I take care of SeaDek or woven vinyl?

Rinse it with fresh water and clean it with a mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid harsh solvents. Both materials are made for life outside, but a cover or top over the boat when it's not in use helps any floor last longer.
