CEMENTITIOUS UNDERLAYERS
From bare steel to finished deck
The essential foundation for marine interiors
Ocean Decking Solutions manufactures high-performance cementitious underlayers engineered to create level, durable and compliant deck surfaces aboard cruise ships, megayachts, naval vessels and commercial ships.
​
Unlike construction-grade levelling compounds adapted for marine use, ODS underlayers are engineered from the ground up for the realities of shipboard installation: steel substrates, constant vibration, weight limits and stringent fire and acoustic requirements.
Six systems. Every deck condition

ENGINEERED FOUNDATIONS
Every premium interior starts with the right foundation. Our marine-grade underlayers combine low weight, fast installation and reliable long-term performance — supporting smoother workflows in the shipyard and greater comfort in service.
​
Purpose-developed for steel and approved marine substrates, our cementitious systems withstand the movement, vibration and demanding schedules of modern shipbuilding.
Six coordinated system families cover the full range of interior deck requirements — from thin, lightweight levelling to A-60 fire-rated and acoustic build-ups. Each is selected against the vessel type, substrate condition, layer thickness, weight target and final floor finish, so shipyards, naval architects and flooring contractors always specify the system engineered for that space.
​
From cabins and corridors to galleys, technical spaces and public areas, ODS underlayers provide the smooth, stable, finish-ready surface that carpet, vinyl, tile, parquet and seamless coatings depend on.
SYSTEM SELECTION SUPPORT
The essential foundation for marine interiors.
Ocean Decking Solutions manufactures six coordinated underlayer families for the marine industry. Select a system below for which you require technical advice and get in touch with us.
Lightweight by Design
Reduce deadweight without compromising the deck foundation. Lightweight cementitious systems deliver the strength marine interiors require while protecting payload and design flexibility.
Flat Floors. Faster.
Pumpable, self-levelling compounds flow efficiently across large deck areas to correct unevenness and create a smooth, consistent base for carpet, vinyl, tile and parquet.
Keep your project moving
Rapid-setting formulations develop early strength quickly, enabling earlier foot traffic and shorter waiting times between trades — fewer bottlenecks, faster progress toward handover.
Fire safe foundations
Designed for constructions where non-combustibility and fire insulation are essential, combining the deck underlayer with specified insulation and reinforcement in one build-up.
Quiet starts below
Reduce impact, airborne and structure-borne noise with engineered build-ups combining cementitious layers with resilient and insulating components, for a calmer onboard environment.
Built to correct. Built to last
Trowel-applied marine mortars provide controlled build-up, local levelling and robust structural support where greater thickness or detailed forming is required.
THE ODS PROPOSITION
Less weight. Less time. More performance.
The proposition behind every ODS cementitious system, in five parts.
Marine-engineered
Purpose-developed for the movement, vibration, substrate conditions and installation realities of shipbuilding — not adapted from construction-grade compounds.
Weight-efficient
Lightweight formulations and optimized system build-ups help protect payload and vessel efficiency across the outfitting programme.
Fast to install
Pumpable, self-levelling and rapid-setting options support high output and shorter trade waiting times on tight shipyard schedules.
Fire and acoustic ready
Coordinated non-combustible, A-60 and acoustic system solutions for regulated and comfort-critical marine spaces.
Project support
System selection based on vessel type, area, substrate, thickness, weight, fire and acoustic requirements,supported by our technical team from specification through installation.
