Aikona flooring - hard-wearing and realistic alternative to wooden floors

Aikona wood effect decking is a hard-wearing and realistic alternative to hardwood decking and flooring. It is designed to replicate traditional wooden surfaces for use in the marine and building industries. Manufactured from a rigid vinyl composite, this unique PVC floor covering has been created to give the appearance and natural beauty of wooden planks and yet solve many of the practical problems associated with maintaining a traditional wooden deck or floor.

Aikona has a grained appearance that can be left rough cut or sanded, depending on whether a natural or high-gloss finish is desired. Aikona is supplied in plain form, or with a black or white stripe designed to create a nautical atmosphere.

When compared with a traditional wooden deck, Aikona wood effect flooring has many advantages. It has a tough wear layer, which is resilient to impact, abrasion and stains and a carefully formulated slip resistant surface that remains effective even when wet. Aikona is, therefore, suitable as safety flooring for areas such as boat decks, swimming pool and hot tub surrounds, marina pontoons, jetties, walkways and other wet areas where there may be a risk of injury.

Aikona wood effect decking is recommended where weathering would cause a traditional hard wood floor to deteriorate. Unlike wood, Aikona planks are highly resistant to sunlight or water, making it an ideal choice for outdoor as well as indoor use. It is designed to remain unaffected by exposure to rain, snow and sunlight, even when permanently set outside. Aikona is an attractive plastic decking material.
