Abstract: A boat deck surface covering comprising at least two layers which are applied one over the other. The layers contain a slow hardening elastic resin, such as epoxy resin, a hardener or curing agent for the resin, and a solid particulate, finely divided filler material of low density. The underlayer contains a coloring agent or pigment for the simulation of white or black gap material, which is exposed through narrow strips or gaps in the top layer, preferably a wood plank-simulating surface layer, to produce a surface covering simulating a wooden plank pattern.
