Flexi Teak Decking

Seeking advice from anyone whose fitted this (or similar) product to a boat.

What sort of cost am I looking at for a 6m RIB?

What sealants / adhesives are required?

We use Tekdek which is a similar product - they supply all of the adhesives that you will need. If you have basic woodworking skills and are any good with glue you will be fine. It depends on the area covered - give them a ring and they'll give you a rough price on the phone.

We have tekdek - no problems with shoes marking it. Just have to watch out for petrol spills but they do fade eventually. The tekdek looks great and it has amazing non slip properties.
