I fitted TekDek to my weather deck and am very pleased with the results.
Does anyone know if there is anything similar for cabin soles (in trad teak/holly or other)?

We have a plastic veneer 'teak and holly' look alike which has been glued down to our existing floor panels (by the previous owner). Looks ok, but the glue has started to lift in some places meaning it has lifted on one panel - also its very delecate and prone to cracking at the edges when the floor is lifted - wouldn't recommend it.

Robbins sell ply and also a plastic laminate ply but it is very expensive.

Wilks do an indoor version of TekDek with a choice of either white or black sealant lines between the fake teak strips. I think it looks pretty good and is warm on the feet.

We were considering ply for the sole, (Imitation teak n holly) but have decided to go the right way (for us !) and fit 10mm teak strips 50 mm wide with holly or eucolyptus as the filler piece. (This is planned - not done yet as we are still in the middles of the cabin refit). plan is to put a simple rabbet in the edge of the teak strips with a router - 5mm deep by 6 mm wide - and then after laying the floor infil with the contrasting wood.. sand and satin varnish.
Here in spain it is cheaper than ply. and looks so much nicer - and can be refinished if needed.
