using our shrink films
During winter storage, when leaving production or during transport, boats are subjected to stresses that can affect the hull or the condition of the coatings. It’s important to protect them properly.
Shrink film acts like a second skin. The cocoon created by the film forms a watertight bubble, providing perfect protection for your boat during transport or winter storage.
It offers protection from the elements (wind, snow or rain), but also from the sun’s harmful rays on the hull and leatherwork, thanks to the anti-UV treatment of the films used. Our made-to-measure films can be adapted to any boat size. They can be endlessly welded together. There are no size limits.
The opaque color of our heat-shrinkable films and the anti-UV treatment ensure maximum protection. Your boat will be protected for 12 months!
Your upholstery won’t smell damp, musty or mildewed, and won’t be discolored by UV rays. When you take your boat out again, it will be in the same condition as when you packed it.
The thickness of the heat-shrink film prevents scratches, limits dust and protects against corrosion. So you can rest assured if your boat is stored in a rack and/or outdoors. It will be well protected.
A complete range to
winterize your
boat easily
Winterize your boat quickly and easily in the off-season. When the weather’s fine, you’ll be back on the water in no time, with your boat just as you left it.
The thick film forms a protective cocoon around the boat.
The film’s solidity means you can add accessories such as vents to ensure good ventilation of the boat during wintering, and prevent bad smells, damp or mildew from settling in. It is also possible to create openings with zipped doors or adhesive zipped strips to facilitate access to the boat during the wintering period. The film is not altered by the to-and-fro movements that may be required.
The bi-directional quality of the shrink allows the film to conform perfectly to the shape of your boat, creating a truly watertight and waterproof shelter around your boat. Protection is guaranteed for 1 year.
Winterizing and protecting your boat correctly involves a number of steps: good strapping will help hold the film in place before and after shrinkage, protecting protruding parts will prevent the film from becoming brittle, and fitting vents and openings will ventilate your boat… We have all the products you need for this protective work.
