70. Economical DIY "Marine" Flooring | Learning the Lines

Ever look at marine cabin flooring and be turned off because of the price? We have too. What’s so great about it that demands such a premium? We’ve spoken to real cruisers who have used other products and get a similar result for MUCH less.

We decided to go with a very economical solution from Home Depot, called Trafficmaster Allure in Teak color. It’s fully waterproof, has texture, and has enough flex that it’ll conform to a slight curvature. That’s all you need for cabin flooring. I wouldn’t use it outside the cabin, but inside it should be perfectly fine. We ended up spending about a tenth of the cost of using a “marine” product.

Sailing Uma used a similar flooring and it’s been in their boat for three years with no issues. We’ve also personally used this flooring in the condo we owned prior to moving aboard, and it worked great.
