Backing & Construction
Not all “marine mats” are built for the marine environment.
Many products in today’s marketplace begin as residential carpet, with a surface-applied backing added after production. Under real marine conditions — heat, moisture, and constant exposure — this type of construction can break down, shed, and fail.
We see it regularly: deterioration, flaking, and material breakdown that leaves residue across deck surfaces and requires replacement far sooner than expected.
BoatMat Corporation takes a fundamentally different approach.
Our mats are built using true marine-grade materials, including backing and embroidered deck carpet supplied exclusively by Corinthian Textile — the only backing and carpet product we will sell. Engineered specifically for durability, stability, and long-term performance in marine environments, this is integrated into the product — not applied afterward.
Our marine backing will not break down or fail.
In fact, we’ll buy it back if it does. Period.
Materials
Marine environments demand materials that can withstand constant exposure to sun, moisture, and wear.
Many products rely on lower-grade fibers and coatings not designed for long-term marine use.
BoatMat Corporation uses 100% U.S.-sourced, marine-grade materials — including premium fibers, industrial nitrile rubber, and Sunbrella® fabrics — selected for performance, durability, and finish.
Our mills are based in Dalton, Georgia. ScootGuard™ is produced in Tennessee. Our Sunbrella® fabric is supplied directly from Glen Raven Mills in North Carolina.
Nothing offshore. Nothing imported.
Stitching & Finish
Precision matters.
Lower-quality products often rely on standard stitching and generic borders that deteriorate over time.
Our mats feature precision commercial embroidery, matched binding, and refined finishing techniques designed to hold their form and appearance under continuous use.
Fade Resistance
Color integrity is critical in outdoor marine environments.
Many mats fade, dull, or discolor after limited exposure to sunlight.
Our products utilize UV-stable printing and marine-grade fabrics engineered to maintain color clarity and definition over time.
Longevity
The true measure of quality is how a product performs over time.
While many mats require frequent replacement, BoatMat Corporation products are built to endure — maintaining structure, appearance, and performance season after season.
