Description

King StarBoard® AS is a sure-grip, marine-grade, decking material designed specifically for high-traffic areas where traction is critical. It is the product of a proprietary process called K-Stran™, the most advanced manufacturing process available for producing consistently flat continuous sheets.

King StarBoard® AS features a special, high-friction surface polymer in a dot or diamond pattern on one side to prevent slipping and promote drainage, and a matte finish on the other side. King StarBoard® AS requires no maintenance other than normal cleaning. It is excellent for deck hatches, gangways, steps, and virtually any walk-on surface where traction is critical. Standard sheet size is 54” x 96” and 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1” standard gauges. Available in the 7 standard colors to perfectly match the original King StarBoard®.
