I sail and race a 36' 2001 Dehler in the US Chesapeake Bay, and have worn out the original nonskid material twice over. The first replacement used the identical manufacturers product, a flexible layer with a textured coating on the surface. The coating wears away, showing a tan colored underlayment "stain" and a slipperier surface.
What are my options through Treadmaster? Would your refinishing coating work for painting on the exiting material?
If I go to a full replacement of all the deck panels, have you supplied other Dehler 36 owners with these patterns, and have those available in your library of patterns?
Thanks for your assistance in providing what I trust will be a more permanent solution to our problem.

| Thank you for your enquiry, our Treadcote rejuvenator is a water based coating that is specifically designed to work with Treadmaster, it may work with other deck coverings but we do not recommend using it. If it applied to an incompatible deck surface the Treadcote may give the impression of a good finish but will begin to flake off very quickly.
Treadmaster is supplied in two different finishes either a Diamond Pattern or a Smooth Pattern, for your application, the Diamond Pattern would be suitable. If you would like us to send you some samples;could send your contact details to our mail address (mail@tiflex.co.uk) we can then send these to you.
I am not aware of having specifically supplied any Dehler 36 yachts, but we can cut templates if required (we would need plans/templates to work from). We can alternatively supply full sized sheets, these are 1200 x 900mm at either 2mm or 3mm thick (Smooth Pattern or Diamond Pattern) or approximately 4 x 3 feet at either 3 / 16 or 1 / 8 inch thick (Smooth / Diamond Pattern).
We have a supplier of our Treadmaster products in the United States called Lewmar Marine, they may be more convenient if you did decide to order any rather than purchase from us directly in the United Kingdom. The mail address for the sales department is info@lewmarusa.com
Please let me know if you need any further advise
