Combining innovation, performance, and design, the new brand of sustainable solutions for marine decks from Amorim Cork Composites uses cork, a 100% natural, reusable, and recyclable raw material, in the form of custom-cut panels. This unique versatility allows it to be used on different types and designs of multihulls and even customized—like the engraved XCS Excess logo.
Navicork solutions are inherently sustainable and are also 2 to 5 times lighter in weight than conventional teak decks. The natural texture guarantees a good grip as well as comfort underfoot. The material provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, reducing energy consumption and contributing to the comfort of everyone on board.
