HAVE A PROJECT COMING UP?
PROJECT: Herley boats
Showcasing Our Best.
After years of frustration buying, building and using boats that had the final finishing details missing – like cheap quality materials, water pooling and awkward helm positions, the team at Herley Boats decided to design and build their own.
Herley Boats needed a high-end finish for its interior galley, benchtops, tabletops, head and shower surfaces, and some exterior benchtops and surfaces onboard the Herley Powercat 3400 – New Zealand’s first locally produced diesel-electric hybrid catamaran.
They needed a surface that met the high-end aesthetic of the boat, was mould and mildew resistant, UV stable, and could withstand the harsh sun and salt-laden marine environment without degrading or delaminating.
Tavolo premium acrylic solid surface in 12mm, met the aesthetic and practical requirements for this luxury boat manufacturer.
Tavolo Coronet, a fresh, cool white, complemented the interior woodwork and was used for the galley to create seamless, hygienic interior and exterior benchtops, tabletops and surfaces. And to provide hygienic, easy to clean head and shower surfaces.
The exterior Tavolo benchtop with stainless steel sink was designed as an easy to clean, hygienic outdoor galley and bar for serving and entertaining guests.
The ability to easily machine to the client’s exact requirements meant surfaces were templated and shaped to fit, with raised edges and soft rounded corners – essential for safety in a moving vessel. Its inconspicuous join seams meant a visually seamless finish and optimised the materials required for the project.
Tavolo can be repaired and refinished to ensure a long lifespan. Ideal for luxury boats like Herley.
