Marine Vinyl Upholstery
Coated fabrics that hold up to sun and spray.
Syntec supplies Nautolex marine vinyl upholstery for seating, panels, and interiors, offered through our partnership with OMNOVA. These are materials chosen for how they wear, resistant to UV, moisture, and the day-to-day use a boat interior takes.
Marine-Grade Coated Fabrics, Backed by OMNOVA
Through our partnership with OMNOVA, Syntec supplies Nautolex marine vinyl upholstery, engineered for the demands of a boat interior. Builders get a material that resists UV, mildew, staining, and scuffing, including OMNOVA's PreFixx protective finish, plus the low-temperature flexibility to hold up in cold-weather storage and use.
PreFixx finish protects the integrity of the designs and is engineered for coated fabrics to be cleaned again and again without showing signs of wear. Fabrics protected with PreFixx can extend useful life and reduce maintenance costs with easy cleanability and proven stain and abrasion resistance.
Beyond seating, Nautolex is used for flooring, vinyl underlining, and cabin headliner, in a wide range of colors and textures, with a custom program available for bespoke colors, designs, and textures.
Trends in Marine Upholstery
Boat buyers increasingly expect interiors that look designed, not just installed.
That's pushing demand toward coated fabrics that combine durability with color, texture, and easy cleaning, exactly what Nautolex is built to deliver.
