Yacht Care

Wood is the oldest and most natural material used in boatbuilding. Unlike fiberglass boats, wood and teak boats require more maintenance, as wood can absorb or release moisture, causing it to either swell or shrink. Since wood is a moving material, paint and wood coatings must ensure sufficient flexibility to provide lasting protection against moisture and rot.

Teak has always been a very popular material in boat building for deck planking as well as for interior and exterior finishing. Naturally oily, teak doesn't rot and, thanks to the silica it also contains, is particularly durable. With Swissvax products for teak, it can be easily cleaned and resealed with teak oil.
