Stratica™
Deck Tile
Problem: Current shipboard deck tile is not rugged and
requires a continuous effort to keep clean and polished. This effort represents a huge
daily drain on manpower and is a true sailor morale issue.
Solution: Stratica™ is a commercially available
decking material that is extremely tough and requires no waxing or buffing. Only daily
damp mopping is required. MTTC, Navy and CES, Inc., developed and proofed the installation
procedures that must be followed to ensure a quality product. |
