Paint
Paint and varnish on the boats have dual purpose. While aesthetics is required, protecting the material underneath against environmental conditions carries the major importance. The life span of the construction material mainly depends on the quality of this protecting layers.
The main idea is the same in superstructure and topsides topcoats, in varnishes over wood and in wetted surface coatings. The subject is to protect the material and prolong its life as much as possible while pleasing the eye. We deal with the major branches of this protection.

Top Coats AWL-GRIP
Awl-grip is a worldwide known brand in marine coatings. It is a polyurethane based system and was first developed for aircraft industry. The application requires a heavy training and precision. We are certified by Awl-grip for their applications.
Osmosis Protection and Treatment
As lexical meaning, osmosis is a process by which molecules of a liquid tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one. In boat building osmosis is caused by production faults or by external damage. For a more detailed explanation, please check http://www.anchormarinesurveys.co.uk/osmosis. And if you are dealing with a “so called” technical service telling you, your boat has “cancer”, run away without looking back.
We use International product “Gelshield” for this process and as a protective product it is supposed to last up to 10 years.

COPPERCOAT
Coppercoat is a long lasting antifouling which is a combination of ultra-fine copper particles mixed with solvent free epoxy resin. Highly recommended for carbon fiber vessels which feel better afloat then on hard or areas where you have difficulty about annual haul out or if you don’t want to think about and spend money on antifouling and haul out for a decade. The application requires expertise. In our applications we control the process with the application time table and we certificate at the end.
GLASS FIBER & RESIN APPLICATIONS
Grp is a major branch in boat building today. Our application scale varies from building parts from scratch to repairs. With the help of our carpenter team we may build molds for manufacturing tailor made parts. In our applications, where it is applicable, we always use “Peel Ply” which is a woven dacron cloth that has multiple benefits. It gives you a re-bondable surface for the following applications so sanding, which actually damages the structure you created is not required. It helps removing the air pockets trapped between the layers of matt.
VARNISH APPLICATIONS
We use various type of brand for various type of applications.
