Hi, I know there have been previous threads on this but there are just WAY too many to go through.

I’m looking to cover the salon of my 41 Hat (Convertible) in the fake teak.

The two names that keep coming up are plasteak and Amtico.

4 questions-

First question- I’m in the Northeast, once this stuff is glued down, has anyone had any experience with it expanding and contracting with our 100 degree temperature swings? The plasteak seams to come in rolls which would seem to be easier to install, where the Amtico seems to come in individual pieces leaving more room for error.

Does one or the other seem to hold up better than the other (scuff, fading, scratch and stain resistance).

Has anyone noticed a big difference in interior sound levels, while running at cruise, (twin 671 turbos) I can’t imagine idle being a big difference.

Lastly is there anything comparable for sale at either Home Depot or Lowes. This would definitely be convenient for the “learning curve.”
