10mm teak is OTT. Most teak and holly ply have a top veneer of about 1.6mm. Wear is minimal if it is sealed. I have had success with 2.6mm teak veneers from Robbins for both cabin soles and cockpit seats. Epoxied down then payed with either black pigmented epoxy or Sikaflex.
However, if you teak is cheap - go for it, just seems like a waste of such good wood!

One of our local boat builders use a type of formica which is "plastic" teak & holly.
Don't know if available in UK.
A friend does work for the local boat builder so could find South African supplier if that helps.
