HydraFelt™
- Lighter and easier to handle
- Softer, cushioned underfoot feel
- Felt backing helps protect against abrasion when used over fiberglass or textured decks
- Dries quickly if it gets wet
- Recommended if the mats will be frequently removed and reinstalled
AquaLoc®
- Heavier and more rigid
- Ribbed PVC backing adds grip - often needs fewer snaps
- Excellent dimensional stability (won’t stretch or deform)
- Best for long-term install where the mat stays in place most of the time
- Proven long-term durability (over 20 years in marine use)
