Five Creative Ways to Use SeaDek Beyond Boats

You would be forgiven for thinking that SeaDek is just for boat decks, but our popular product delivers so much more, with a whole host of interesting, useful products made from the same incredible materials.

Think SeaDek RV steps, UTV floor mats, or even custom cooler pads that will turn your tailgate into the center of the party. If you are a fan of our revolutionary SeaDek product, you should find something pretty interesting in our wider range.

Why SeaDek Works Off the Water

That same closed-cell EVA foam that makes SeaDek utterly perfect for marine applications works just as well on land. You get the same shock absorption that saves your knees during long fishing days, plus a remarkable heat resistance that won't burn your feet on hot summer days. 

What's more, the material cleans up delightfully easily, whether you're dealing with mud, spilled drinks, or whatever else you can throw at it (within reason, of course!).

The peel-and-stick SeaDek installation allows you to customize shapes for pretty much any surface. There is no anxiety-inducing drilling or permanent modifications; you just measure, cut, and apply. Simple.

• UTV Floor Mats 

We are not fans of spray-on bed liners that trap dust and permanently change your UTV. Why do that to your pride and joy?

Our UTV floor mats (from SC Wake’s SC Mudz range) provide all the protection you need without the permanent commitment. They are removable, cushioned, and reduce noise, all of which spray-on liners can't compete with.

Your basic install process is nice and simple, too: just measure your floor pan, create a paper template, trace it onto your SeaDek sheet, and trim to fit. The pressure-sensitive backing sticks securely but removes cleanly when you want to change things up or sell your ride.

UTV Floor Mats Protection Comparison:

• Weight: SeaDek wins (lightweight vs. heavy spray-on coating)
• Noise reduction: SeaDek dampens vibration, spray-on amplifies it
• Removability: SeaDek peels off, while spray-on requires grinding
• Cushioning: SeaDek provides comfort, while spray-on adds hardness
• Cost: Similar upfront, but SeaDek doesn't hurt resale value!

•  RV Steps 

No, seriously. We appreciate this sounds a little dramatic, but RV-related injuries send over 15,000 people to emergency rooms annually, with step-related falls leading the charge. 

You read that correctly… Fifteen thousand.

Seadek RV steps deliver a reliable grip when you are climbing in and out, with hands full of gear and a head full of distractions. They look pretty great, too, and are incredibly easy to install.

The SeaDek RV steps installation process is simple:

1. Clean the step surface with acetone to remove any wax or residue
2. Test fit your pad before removing the backing paper
3. Apply from the center outward to avoid air bubbles
4. Press firmly around edges to prevent water infiltration

The textured surface works even when wet, and the 6mm thickness adds just enough cushioning to reduce impact stress on your joints.

3) Improve Your Golf Cart Floor Experience

You probably never considered your golf cart floor an ‘experience’, but why settle for hard, slippery floors when you can have comfort and style? It makes sense, right?

A SeaDek golf cart installation turns your ride into something more reflective of your personality (we have some truly wonderful designs alongside a custom service) while keeping you firmly planted during sharp turns.

You are also far less prone to slipping when stepping out of the cart on a wet day - because there is no greater ‘card wrecker’ than a sprained ankle.

Popular SeaDek golf cart floor design approaches:

• Team colors: Why not show your loyalty with school or pro team color combinations?
• Faux teak: That classic ‘deck look’ that is incredibly sophisticated without being garish. 
• Camo patterns: Perfect for hunting properties or just making a radical statement when out on the course.

The 6mm thickness provides just enough cushioning for comfort without making the floor feel squishy. Plus, cleanup after muddy rounds takes about 30 seconds with a hose.

4) Custom Cooler Pads 

SeaDek's cooler pads grip whatever surface they are sitting on while providing a comfortable, stable platform on top. So, if you are off for a spot of tailgating, camping, or maybe just needing an extra seat at the boat ramp, these pads handle the job effortlessly.

Durability comes standard with UV and water resistance and easy cleanup. Spill something sticky? Just hose it off and forget about it. The ingenious closed-cell construction means nothing soaks in to create odors or stains later.

Sadly, adorable floppy-eared Basset Hounds are not included with SeaDek custom cooler pads.

5) Jet Ski Traction Mats for Better Control

Jet ski traction mats could be the upgrade you didn't know you needed. If you are fishing from your vessel or just want better footing for boarding, SeaDek Jet ski traction mats will make a surprisingly huge difference in both safety and comfort.

Benefits of SeaDek Jet ski traction mats :

• Incredible grip when launching from beaches or docks
• Noise reduction (keeps fish from scattering)
• Cushioning that reduces fatigue during long rides
• Custom fit available for virtually any jet ski model

The installation works just like boat applications. You simply clean the surface, position the pad, and apply pressure from the center to the edges.

Most jet ski owners see immediate improvement in confidence when boarding or standing while fishing - they make a remarkable difference - and installation is, once again, headache-free.

SeaDek Finishing Touches 

Of course, SeaDek does not apply only to floors and steps. The following smaller applications often provide the biggest wow factor for the least investment.

SeaDek Lure Pads 

Keep your fishing tackle organized while protecting both your lures and whatever surface they're sitting on. The textured SeaDek holds hooks securely while reducing the rattling that can spook fish.

SeaDek UTV Stereo Pads 

Create custom trim around sound systems, reducing vibration and protecting expensive electronics from trail abuse. The material absorbs shock that would otherwise rattle speakers loose or damage mounting points.

SeaDek Dash Pockets 

Solve the age-old problem of phones, keys, and other small items sliding around during transport. The cushioned SeaDek material keeps everything secure without the hard edges of plastic alternatives.
