    Hello!

    I'm looking for different material ideas for professional boat interior. Floor, wall and ceiling panels. What are you using? Why? Who sells it? etc.

    Thank you for your help.

    It looks like you have received no useful answers. And that art was terrible.:)
    What kind of boat is it? Overhead panels can be laminate (Formica etc) over thin plywood. Floors can be wood, teak & holly being traditional but other woods work well. You want the floors to be hard enough that they will not dent easily. Eastern maple works well. Walls can be the same as the overhead panels or plywood covered with vinyl of some type. If the area is expected to get damp it will have a bearing on the materials you use. A small fishing boat with a cuddy cabin would be treated differently than a 50' powerboat.

    Mitiempo, Thank you.

    The boat is 12,5 meter long professional boat for sea rescue. Because of safety (in case of fire) and maintenance (not well trated parts) I don't want to use any wooden materials. So I'm looking for syntethic material, which is light, lasts well temperature changes and is safe (in case of fire). Good option is Neobond, aluminium composite panel, but even though it is relatively light I'm sure there is something even lighter... If I could just find the company who makes aluminium composite panels with foam core...

    I'd rather be breathing wood smoke than burning foam.

    Hm, thank's.

    Anyhow, as I mentioned earlier, wood is not the option in this case.
    I found one material which could fit to the purpose. Has anyone of you used Bellcomps products?
