Durafloat Floatation Systems

Durafloat is floatation foam encased with plastic, it can be used for floating docks, boathouses, floating structures and more.

Encapsulating the floatation eliminates foam breakdown (little white beads and flakes of foam floating in the water). The heavy duty tough plastic encapsulation insures dependability and durability and inhibits the absorption of gas, oil and other contaminants in the water. As well, it prevents marine life (muscles, barnacles, otters etc.) from attaching to or nesting in the foam wherein loss of buoyancy occurs.
