WHY MARINE CARPET

Still wondering if marine carpet is the right choice? Here are some quick reasons why it’s so popular for coastal and outdoor spaces:

  • BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS

    Marine carpet is UV-stabilised and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for boats, decks, and outdoor living areas exposed to sun and salt.

  • DURABLE YET COMFORTABLE

    Its dense needle-punch construction won’t fuzz or pill and feels soft underfoot, even in high-traffic areas.

  • LOW MAINTENANCE

    Stain-proof fibres make cleaning simple. Just sweep or hose off when needed.

  • VERSATILE DESIGN OPTIONS

    Choose from the ribbed texture of Intex Rib Rewind for extra grip or the smoother finish of Intex Velour Rewind for a refined, modern look.

  • EASY TO INSTALL

    Available in 2-metre-wide rolls for seamless coverage, marine carpet can be installed almost anywhere indoors or out.

MARINE CARPET FAQs

WHAT IS MARINE CARPET?

Marine carpet is a durable, UV-stabilised carpet made from synthetic fibres such as polypropylene. It’s designed to withstand moisture, salt, and sun exposure, making it ideal for boats, decks, patios, and other outdoor or semi-outdoor areas.

IS MARINE CARPET WATERPROOF?

Marine carpet is not completely waterproof, but it is highly water-resistant. It dries quickly, won’t absorb water, and resists mould, mildew, and odour. Perfect for marine and outdoor environments.

WHERE CAN I INSTALL MARINE CARPET?

You can install marine carpet on boat decks, pontoons, outdoor entertaining areas, patios, garages, or walk-off zones near entryways. It’s also a popular option for high-traffic areas where durability and easy maintenance matter.

HOW DO I CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MARINE CARPET?

Marine carpet is very easy to care for. Simply vacuum, sweep, or hose it off to remove dirt and debris. For tougher marks, a mild detergent and water will usually do the job. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing brushes that could damage the fibres.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIBBED AND VELOUR MARINE CARPET?

Ribbed marine carpet, such as Intex Rib Rewind, offers extra traction and a textured appearance that hides dirt well, great for outdoor or high-use areas. Velour styles like Intex Velour Rewind provide a smoother, more refined finish while still being durable and UV-stable.

CAN MARINE CARPET BE GLUED DOWN OR LOOSE-LAID?

Yes. Marine carpet can be installed using outdoor-grade adhesive for a permanent finish or loose-laid for easy removal and replacement. Your installer can recommend the best option depending on the location and surface type.
