8mm EVA Foam.
Not 6mm.

While 6mm EVA is the industry norm to cut material costs, SeaFoam uses 8mm marine-grade EVA as its benchmark. The added thickness delivers greater comfort, sharper CNC detail, stronger two-tone contrast, and a thicker wear layer for improved durability.

Real Foam Comparison

Compare common 6mm with SeaFoam 8mm.

6mmIndustry norm
+33% more foam
8mmSeaFoam standard
Deeper grooves. Cleaner contrast.

The 4mm top layer gives the router room to cut bold, crisp lines on borders, grooves and custom patterns.

Softer underfoot. More material to last.

The extra 2mm adds cushion and a thicker wear buffer against sun, salt, shoes, tackle and washing.

How The Two-Tone System Works

Two colours.
One sheet.

Two colours are bonded together.

The top layer is your main deck colour. The bottom layer is the hidden contrast colour that will appear once the grooves are machined.

The CNC cuts through the top layer only.

The router follows the design file and stops at the seam, exposing the contrast colour underneath without cutting through the full sheet.

Every groove line is your second colour.

Looking down from above, the contrast colour becomes the clean groove line. Borders, grooves and custom patterns — all cut from the same two-tone sheet.

Heavy-Duty Foam Option

Frequently Asked

Evercor is a premium branded marine foam decking line we offer alongside our standard 8mm EVA. It uses the same two-tone approach — a top colour with a contrasting layer revealed by the CNC-cut grooves and the engraved Evercor logo. Because it is made to order rather than pulled from our in-stock foam, you choose from a set Evercor colour palette, shown in the Evercor tab of our colour range.
Because Evercor is produced to order rather than taken from existing stock, it runs on a short production lead time — generally around nine days from the point your colour combination is confirmed, before the sheets are ready for cutting and engraving. That is why each Evercor swatch carries a lead-time badge instead of a live stock count.
Not in the way our standard foam does. Since every Evercor order is manufactured to your chosen colours, availability is not limited by what is on the shelf. The trade-off is the short made-to-order lead time noted on each swatch rather than same-week turnaround.
The Evercor range shown here covers 13 two-tone combinations across Tan, Steel Gray, Silver Gray, Beach and Black bases, paired with accent tones such as Black, Blue, Beach, Charcoal and Steel Gray. Tap any swatch to view it enlarged. If you would like a combination you do not see, ask us and we will let you know what is possible.
Yes. Evercor runs through the same in-house CNC cutting and laser engraving process as our standard decking, so boat names, logos, borders, grooves and custom patterns are all available on it.
Yes. Surface preparation, templating or scanning, and the marine-grade adhesive process are the same as for our 8mm EVA decking. The main differences are the Evercor colour palette and the made-to-order lead time — the fit-out and installation approach does not change.
The process starts with a consultation so we can understand your boat, the areas you want covered, your colour preferences, and any custom details such as logos or engraving. From there we either scan the boat in person or work from a customer-supplied template where appropriate. We then create the CAD layout, confirm the design direction, cut and engrave the panels in-house, and install them using a marine-grade adhesive system when SeaFoam is handling installation. The goal is a deck that fits cleanly, looks deliberate, and feels like it belongs on the boat.
Every boat needs a custom quote because the real cost is driven by more than length alone. Panel count, deck shape, hatch detail, pattern complexity, colour choice, engraving, scan requirements, travel, and installation access all affect the job. The interactive quote builder on this site is there to help customers understand the factors we consider, not to produce an automatic price. Once we have enough information, we provide a clear quote based on your actual scope.
The most useful details are the boat make and model, overall length, your location, the areas you want covered, and a few clear photos of the deck from different angles. If you already know the colours, pattern style, or engraving ideas you want, include those too. Photos of hatches, steps, swim platforms, gunwales, and any existing flooring help us understand the complexity before we reply.
While 6mm EVA foam is the industry norm, SeaFoam uses 8mm marine-grade EVA as standard. The greater thickness provides superior underfoot comfort, more refined CNC machining detail, stronger two-tone contrast, and a thicker wear surface for improved long-term durability. We do not offer 8mm as an upgrade — it is our baseline specification for a professional marine deck.
Yes. Custom work is one of the main reasons customers choose SeaFoam. We can help with colour combinations, border styles, groove patterns, boat names, logos, rulers, hatch labels, and laser-engraved artwork. If you have a reference image, brand logo, sketch, or idea, send it through. We will let you know what will translate cleanly into foam and what may need simplifying for the best result.
Timing depends on the boat, design complexity, material availability, and our booking schedule. A small, straightforward job can move quickly once measurements and colours are confirmed. Larger vessels, full-deck layouts, custom artwork, and multi-zone installations take longer because the CAD layout, proofing, machining, and install all require more time. We will give you a realistic timeframe with your quote rather than overpromising.
SeaFoam is based on the Sunshine Coast and can travel for suitable jobs. Brisbane, Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast, Hervey Bay, Gympie, Noosa, and wider Queensland work may be possible depending on the size of the project and the schedule. For some boats, a customer-supplied template or supplied measurements may be a better option than a scan visit. We will recommend the most practical approach when you contact us.
EVA foam can be used on cockpit floors, bow decks, casting decks, swim platforms, steps, gunwales, helm areas, hatch lids, transom pads, and many side or vertical surfaces. The best result comes from planning the layout around how the boat is used, where water drains, where people stand, and how hatches and hardware operate. We assess those details before recommending a layout.
Yes, provided the surface is structurally sound and prepared correctly. Aluminium, fibreglass, gelcoat, painted metal, and marine timber can all be suitable bonding surfaces. The important point is preparation: cleaning, degreasing, checking for loose paint or oxidation, and using an adhesion promoter where required. We do not install over surfaces that are flaking, chalky, oily, or failing.
In many cases, yes. Moulded non-skid needs more care than a smooth surface because the texture creates peaks and valleys under the adhesive. We use cleaning, primer, pressure, and installation techniques that help the adhesive make reliable contact. If the texture is extremely aggressive, contaminated, or damaged, we will discuss the risks before proceeding.
Yes. A proper deck layout is designed around hatches, hinges, drains, cleats, rod holders, seat bases, inspection ports, fuel fills, and other hardware. Hatches can receive their own cut panels so they open normally. Drains and water paths must remain clear. Hardware cutouts are planned so the foam looks clean without interfering with how the boat functions.
Generally, the old material should be removed first. New EVA foam needs a clean, stable bonding surface. Old carpet, failing foam, soft adhesive residue, and contaminated glue layers can prevent a reliable bond. We can advise on removal and surface preparation before installation. If a surface is not ready, we will say so rather than install over a weak base.
Yes, and this is where scan-based design is especially useful. Curved cockpit floors, raised bows, tapered gunwales, moulded recesses, and older custom boats can all be captured and designed around. The more complex the shape, the more important accurate measurement and CAD layout become.
Yes. EVA foam is popular on fishing boats because it is comfortable to stand on, provides grip when wet, reduces noise, and is easy to rinse down after a day on the water. For heavy working use, colour choice and cleaning habits matter. Mid-tone colours often hide day-to-day marks better than very light colours while still keeping the deck cooler than bare aluminium or dark surfaces.
With normal recreational use and sensible care, a quality EVA foam deck is typically expected to last several years. Lifespan depends on sun exposure, storage, cleaning habits, foot traffic, colour choice, and how the boat is used. Boats stored outdoors full time, commercial vessels, and heavy fishing use will naturally wear faster than weekend recreational boats stored under cover.
Our workmanship support is focused on issues related to the installation process, such as a panel edge lifting due to an installation fault, a fitment issue, or a bonding problem under normal use. If something does not look right, contact us early with photos. Small issues are usually much easier to correct before they become larger problems.
Warranty does not cover cuts, gouges, burns, chemical damage, pressure-washer damage, damage from fuel or harsh solvents, misuse, impact, normal wear, or failure of the underlying boat surface. If paint, old gelcoat, or a previous repair lets go underneath the foam, the adhesive may still be bonded to that failed layer. We will always assess the cause fairly.
In most cases, yes. One of the advantages of panel-based EVA decking is that individual areas can often be re-adhered or replaced. If we have the original scan or CAD file, we can usually re-cut a matching panel without starting from scratch. Colour ageing should be considered, as a new panel may look slightly fresher than surrounding panels.
Yes, we retain project files for completed SeaFoam jobs where practical. This makes future replacements, additions, or re-cuts much easier. If you later want to add a swim platform, replace a damaged hatch panel, or change a section, having the original geometry and CAD layout can save significant time.
Send us a message with your name, boat details, installation date if known, and clear photos of the area. Include one close-up and one wider photo so we can see both the detail and the location on the boat. We will review the issue, explain what is likely happening, and arrange the next step if a repair or visit is required.
Rinse the deck with fresh water after saltwater use and let it dry with ventilation. For a deeper clean, use mild boat soap or dish soap, a soft-bristle brush, and plenty of fresh water. Work with the grooves rather than scrubbing aggressively across them. Regular light cleaning is much better than letting salt, bait, sunscreen, and dirt build up for months.
Clean stains as soon as possible. Fish blood responds best to cold water and mild soap; hot water can set protein stains. Sunscreen and oil should be lifted with dish soap or a mild degreaser, then rinsed thoroughly. Light rust marks can often be treated with a diluted white vinegar solution and gentle brushing. Always test any cleaner in a small area first.
Avoid acetone, petrol, paint thinner, harsh solvents, concentrated bleach, abrasive pads, steel wool, and aggressive pressure washing. These can damage the foam surface, discolour the material, or force water under panel edges. Silicone-based protectants should also be avoided because they can make the deck slippery and attract grime.
A high-pressure washer is not recommended. Pressure can drive water under panel edges and may damage the surface texture if used too close. A normal hose, soft brush, and mild cleaner are safer and usually more effective. If you use a low-pressure wash setting, keep distance from seams and edges.
Light colours show marks sooner than mid-tone or darker colours. White, cream, and pale grey can look beautiful, but they require more regular cleaning on fishing boats. Charcoal, slate, blue-grey, and other mid-tone colours are often more forgiving for heavy use while still looking clean and professional.
EVA foam is closed-cell, so it does not absorb water like carpet. Mould and odour issues usually come from dirt, organic matter, trapped moisture, or poor ventilation around the boat rather than the foam itself. Rinse after use, remove bait and fish residue promptly, and let the boat dry before covering it tightly for long periods.
3D scanning captures the actual geometry of the boat, including curves, hatch positions, recesses, edges, and compound surfaces. Hand templates can work for simple flat areas, but they rely heavily on how carefully the template is traced. Scanning gives us a more complete digital model, which improves CAD design, panel fit, and future replacement accuracy.
The CNC router turns the digital deck design into physical foam panels. It cuts the outside shape, grooves, borders, hatch panels, and other details with repeatable accuracy. Using a CNC machine means the layout is not cut by hand, so panel shapes, groove spacing, and edge profiles can be controlled precisely from the CAD file.
Laser engraving is used for fine detail that would be difficult or inefficient to create with router grooves alone. Boat names, logos, rulers, hatch labels, coordinates, artwork, and decorative marks can be engraved directly into the foam. The result is built into the surface rather than applied as a sticker or painted graphic.
Owning the scanner, CNC router, and laser engraver gives us control over the full process. We are not waiting on outside suppliers to cut panels, interpret files, or fix mistakes. If a design needs adjustment, we can revise it ourselves. If a panel needs to be re-run, we can do it in-house. That control improves quality, communication, and turnaround.
Yes. For custom jobs, we provide a design proof or layout confirmation before machining. This is the stage where colour choices, pattern direction, logos, borders, panel breaks, and engraving details are checked. We want the deck approved before material is cut, because changes are much easier in CAD than after machining.
Accuracy depends on measurement quality, boat geometry, surface condition, and installation access. With good scan data and a stable deck surface, the fit can be very precise. We still design practical clearances around hatches, hinges, hardware, and edges because a deck that is too tight can bind, lift, or be difficult to install cleanly.
SeaDek is a well-known EVA foam decking brand — and our custom EVA foam goes toe-to-toe with it. You get the same premium result: comparable hardness, look, surface texture, comfort, service life and reliability. Where we pull ahead is the detail. We run a full 8mm as standard while most SeaDek is just 6mm — that means more cushioning underfoot, a more substantial feel, and room for deeper, sharper machined detail in your borders, grooves and engraving. And here’s what most people miss: the foam is only half the story — a deck is only as good as its bond and its fit. We use genuine 3M 9775 adhesive with 3M Primer 94, the best in the industry, and meticulous surface preparation is what makes a bond truly last. Fit comes down to accuracy, which is why we invested $44,000 in a 3D laser scanner for precision very few can match, paired with top-quality CNC and laser machinery. Premium foam, best-in-class adhesive and a millimetre-accurate scan — that’s a deck a genuine cut above.
Usually, yes. If the job was scanned or designed by SeaFoam and the file is retained, we can often reproduce an individual panel from the original CAD data. This is one of the biggest benefits of a digital workflow. It is faster and more accurate than trying to re-template a single damaged area later.
Professional installation is recommended for the best result, especially on larger or more complex boats. Correct alignment, surface preparation, primer use, pressure, and curing all affect the finished deck. For suitable smaller jobs or remote customers, a customer-supplied template and panel supply option may be possible, but we will be clear about what is realistic.
A rigid clear template film is placed over the deck and traced carefully with a permanent marker. SeaFoam can supply 1m-wide Mylar-style template film at $5 per linear metre and post it Australia-wide after payment. You mark the outside shape, hatches, drains, fittings, opening directions, and any important reference points. The template is then returned to us so we can digitise it and build the CAD file. Template accuracy depends heavily on careful tracing, good photos, and clear labelling.
Remove loose gear, empty the work areas, make sure hatches are accessible, and have the boat clean and dry where possible. If the boat is on a trailer, make sure there is safe access around it. Avoid applying wax, silicone spray, protectants, or oily cleaners before installation, as these can interfere with adhesion.
The deck must be clean, dry, stable, and free of salt, wax, oil, loose paint, oxidation, and old adhesive residue. We clean and prepare the surface as part of the installation process, then use primer where required to improve adhesion. We will not knowingly bond over a surface that is already failing, because the installation is only as strong as what it is stuck to.
3M Primer 94 is an adhesion promoter that helps pressure-sensitive adhesive bond reliably to difficult surfaces such as aluminium, gelcoat, painted metals, plastics, and textured areas. It is applied thinly and allowed to flash off before the panel is installed. Used correctly, it improves edge stability and long-term bond strength.
Small jobs may take a few hours, while larger full-deck installations can take a full day or more. You can usually walk on the deck soon after installation, but we recommend avoiding washing, heavy gear, saltwater exposure, and hard use until the adhesive has had time to cure. We will give you specific aftercare guidance based on the job and conditions.
Seams are planned during the CAD layout so they look intentional. On larger decks, joins may be placed along hatch lines, groove lines, panel borders, or natural breaks in the boat geometry. Good seam placement makes a multi-panel deck look designed rather than pieced together. Edges are cut and finished to sit cleanly against surrounding panels.
Installation needs a dry, suitable surface. Rain, heavy moisture, extreme heat, dust, or a wet boat can affect adhesive performance and panel handling. If conditions are not right, it is better to reschedule than compromise the job. We will make a practical call based on the boat location, surface condition, and forecast.

Product Warranty

SeaFoam stands behind every deck we build. This warranty covers the materials and workmanship of your custom EVA foam marine decking, and outlines your rights as a customer.

Effective for all orders placed from 1 January 2024  ·  Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia

🛡️
Material Warranty — 5 Years
From date of installation

SeaFoam warrants that all EVA foam materials used in your custom decking are free from manufacturing defects for a period of five (5) years from the date of installation. This covers the structural integrity of the foam, the two-tone colour construction, and the integrity of all CNC-machined grooves, chamfers, and profiles.

Should a covered defect arise during this period, SeaFoam will, at our discretion, repair or replace the affected panels at no charge to the customer. Replacement panels will be manufactured to the same specification as the original order.

⚙️
Workmanship Warranty — 2 Years
From date of installation

For full-service installations performed by SeaFoam, we warrant all workmanship for two (2) years from the installation date. This covers panel fit and alignment, adhesive bond quality, seam integrity, logo and engraving placement, and the overall finish standard of the installed deck.

What Is Covered
Manufacturing defects in EVA foam material
Delamination of two-tone foam layers
Adhesive bond failure (installed per our guidelines)
CNC groove or chamfer defects affecting fit
Panels that do not fit the scanned deck profile
Laser engraving quality defects (blurring, missed areas)
Abnormal surface cracking or brittleness under normal use
Permanent warping or deformation not caused by heat exposure
⚠️
What Is Not Covered
Warranty exclusions

The following are excluded from warranty coverage. These exclusions reflect conditions outside SeaFoam's control and are consistent with industry standards for EVA foam marine flooring.

Normal Wear & Tear — Scratches, scuffs, and surface abrasion from regular boat use are a natural part of EVA foam ownership and are not covered.
UV Colour Fading — Gradual colour lightening due to prolonged sun exposure is normal for all EVA foam products and is not considered a defect.
Chemical Damage — Damage caused by fuel spills, engine oil, harsh cleaning agents, solvents, bleach, or other chemicals is excluded from coverage.
Improper Installation (DIY Kits) — For customer-installed panels, adhesive bond failures resulting from inadequate surface preparation, failure to use suitable primer where required, or incorrect installation are not covered.
Impact, Cuts & Punctures — Physical damage from sharp objects, dropping anchor chain, dropped tools, or similar impact events is excluded.
Pet Damage — Damage caused by animal claws, chewing, or scratching is not covered under any circumstances.
Heat Damage — Warping or melting caused by proximity to exhaust outlets, BBQs, open flame, or extreme direct heat sources is excluded.
Neglect & Lack of Maintenance — Mould, mildew, or deterioration resulting from failure to clean and maintain the deck as outlined in SeaFoam's care guide is excluded.
Modifications & Third-Party Work — Any modification, cutting, re-gluing, or repair carried out by a party other than SeaFoam will void the warranty on affected panels.
Acts of Nature — Storm damage, flooding, hail, fire, or any other natural event or accident is excluded from warranty coverage.

Care Requirements
Required to maintain warranty validity

To keep your warranty valid and your deck in peak condition, we recommend the following care routine:

Regular Rinsing
Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing. Salt residue left to dry accelerates surface degradation and can compromise adhesion at the panel edges.
Approved Cleaning Products
Use only mild soap (dish soap or marine wash) with a soft brush or sponge. Avoid bleach, acetone, petrol-based solvents, and abrasive pads — these will void your warranty.
Edge Inspection
Periodically inspect all panel edges and seams. If any lifting is noticed, press the edge down firmly and allow to re-bond in the sun. Contact SeaFoam if the issue persists.
Storage & Covers
Where possible, use a boat cover when moored for extended periods. Limiting unnecessary UV exposure will extend colour vibrancy and surface life beyond the warranty period.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law, SeaFoam's liability under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of defective materials. SeaFoam is not liable for any consequential, indirect, or incidental loss or damage arising from a product defect, including but not limited to costs of haulage, haul-out fees, or loss of use of the vessel.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
