Has anyone any experience with this teal deck alternative?

http://www.flexiteek.no/

I've seen it installed on the deck of a Hatteras Motoryacht, and after 3
years it looks new. Other than washing with boat soap it is maintenance
free.

I am planning on having it installed in the all too white fiberglass
cockpit area of my boat this winter.

I checked it out when researching alternatives for my deck project.
The cost for the Flexiteak alone was over $11,000. Not too much different
than actual teak. I decided to paint it instead.

Yeah, I was told the Flexiteek was about 35 percent less than real teak,
but I didn't get a quote on real teak so I don't know for sure.

I love the look and feel of teak, but really don't enjoy the
maintenance. Hopefully the Flexiteek will be a happy compromise.

I love the look and feel of teak as well. But it does have the
disadvantage of being really hot both to walk on and the heat
it absorbs into the cabin. The difference of a painted white
deck is dramatic.
