Why Install Ceramic Coating on Your Boat?

A boat is like any other vehicle: an investment. Aside from being a valuable form of transport, owning a boat in modern times can shore up all kinds of opportunities, whether they be social, monetary, or luxurious. 

So of course, boat owners need to be smart about how they protect their assets. Open waters are wonderful and liberating, but over time, that same water can strip away your boat's coating. Salt deposits can form as water leeches into your boat's frame, rotting it from the inside out, causing expensive damage.

Most boats, of course, have special outer layers of coating to avoid this. But even these coatings have their drawbacks. Gel coating, for example, is quite vulnerable to the buildup of harmful salt deposits, which can penetrate the gel coating's pores. Coats like this, and most older coating types, need to be reapplied regularly, costing time and money.

In recent years, however, the automotive industry has developed various types of special ceramic coatings, which have been lent to boating enthusiasts across America. Ceramic coating is among the latest advances in the industry, and allows a boat to boast superb resistance to the corrosive properties of extended water exposure, routine cleaning, and maintenance. 

Modern ceramic coating boasts hard abrasion/scratch resistance, corrosion and erosion resistance, is non-ablative and non-leaching, and can be safely sanded and brushed without damaging the coating. What this means in practical terms is that the boat can be operated, cleaned, and maintained without risking damage to the coat over much longer periods of time before the coat needs to be redone. This saves you, the boat owner, money in the long run, not to mention time and effort that would otherwise be spent reapplying protective coats along the entire boat's body. 

Nowadays, boat owners all over America are making smart moves to protect their investment. Contact us today to learn more about how ceramic coatings can protect your investment.
