![]() If you lay a piece of 1/2" Starboard over a solid substrate such as marine plywood, it'll also serve well as a rough-and-ready fish-cleaning station. This thickness is good for vertical drawer sides and dividers, etc., and we use it for the backsplashes on our fish-cleaning tables.įine for drawers and door panels (we use 1/2" panels in our boat doors for example, set inside 3/4" frames). Fairly flexible, so best used in relatively small sizes if unsupported.Ī bit stiffer than 1/4", so can be used in somewhat larger panel sizes. That said, we have a good selection of:Ī good choice for replacing boat dashboard instrument panels. We've found Starboard's panel thickness to be very uniform, and consistent from color-to-color and batch-to-batch. King Starboard comes in 5 standard thicknesses as listed below, and we carry them all. I also have 1/2", 3/4" and 1" White/White King Starboard AS (Anti-Skid) by the sheet, half-sheet and square foot. If I don't have the color you need, I can most likely get it (in full-sheet quantities only). And King Starboard expands and contracts with normal temperature variations, so you'll need to allow for that when you assemble various components.Ĭolors: We stock standard King Starboard in five colors-White/White, Black, Sanshade, Dolphin Gray and Seafoam. You also won't be using King Starboard where temperatures are likely to exceed-or even get close to-180 degrees Fahrenheit, because it'll start to melt and you'll have all sorts of problems. That means it needs to be supported by a load-bearing frame or substrate. You won't be using King Starboard to build boat hulls, because it's not a structural material. "Thanks for getting the starboard to me so quick, as well as being so helpful over the phone. Starboard AS has a grippy dot pattern on one side that's molded-not laminated-right into the polymer sheet, and will last the lifetime of your boat. In addition to all the qualities I've listed above, King Starboard AS (Anti-Skid) offers an excellent skid-resistant solution for ladder treads, our custom shower and cockpit grates, swim platforms and any deck location where non-skid footing is a critical concern. I've used King Starboard to make instrument enclosures, shelves, cabinets and the like for customers who needed them to fit in weird places full of odd angles and curves-and I'm sold on this material as a faster, longer lasting, economical alternative to marine wood products in many situations. The stuff can be notched and bent around curves, and joints can be joined with specialized plastic welding equipment (but should still be mechanically fastened). You can work King Starboard with standard woodworking tools and assemble components with standard screws and fasteners. ![]() It was just as the doctor ordered! Thanks for the quality work and prompt service." "My milled starboard arrived in the mail yesterday. This tough marine polymer won't rot or absorb water, so it's a great solution for swim platforms, hand rails, steps, dinghy chocks, fish-cleaning tables and other applications. King Starboard is a marine-grade polymer, which means it's a high-tech plastic that will stand up to salt water and sun a lot better than most types of wood-without a lick of maintenance, and often at lower cost. Just to mention, the shipping calculator on the site is just that a calculator, sometimes she can be off, we ship teak bungs to sheets of starboard and plywood and everything in between, it has been a bear to try to dial in the shipping calculator, we check shipping cost every time we run a label and we will ship the cheapest way we can. Please be aware, any cut pieces (Project Panels, Quarter Sheets) sizes can vary by as much as 1/4" due to saw kerf when cutting sheets down, so if your project calls for sizes the same as what we offer, move to the next size up, so you can get nice clean finished edges, when you cut to your size.
