Shrink Wrapping

We are pleased to be able to add this Shrink Wrapping service to our portfolio.

All Shrink Wrapping work is carried out "in house" by our specially trained operatives, within the Shipshape Team. 

Shrink wrap for power boats and yachts.

Marine grade shrink wrap creates a molded fit 'as tight as a drum skin' that keeps boats completely protected!

...A new solution to the problem of covering boats for storage, transport and maintenance...

Shrink wrap coverings protect against weather, pollution, and natural sources of damage such as bird droppings. It is highly waterproof and can substantially reduce weather-related maintenance.

It is molded to your boat, creating a custom fit that won't move or chafe like heavy, dirty tarpaulins can.

The coverings can be ventilated to eliminate the moisture and mildew problems that are normally associated with storage, moisture inhibitors can also be installed to prevent condensation forming on metal or electrical circuits and causing corrosion.

Access doors can be fitted to allow entry under the covers without the need for cutting or removing the covering.

We offer a complete solution that will simplify your transportation and storage.

Storage

A new solution to the problem of protecting boats for lay-up.

  • Reduce your maintenance costs and your boats depreciation
  • Save time preparing your boat for the new season
  • Complete the work on your boat when you want with out waiting for a weather window
  • Can be fitted with mast up

Air pollution, bird droppings, wind, rain and UV radiation can rapidly combine to stain and fade gel coat and wooden decks.

Shrink wrap cover features -

  • Molded fit - won't flap or chafe like tarpaulin

Transport

A new solution to the old problem of protecting boats for transportation.

  • Preserve that brand-new look
  • Increased security
  • Peace of mind for transportation

En route, the boat is lashed by upwards of 50mph winds that have picked up grit, leaves, road grime, pollutants, not to mention any rain that might be around. When the driver stops for a break, your boat becomes an object of curiosity, at risk of over-inquisitiveness or petty damage.

Your carefully prepared boat could reach its destination looking in very poor condition.

Shrink wrap covering features.

  • Molded fit ensures durability and protection for your journey
  • Boat remains clean and dry during transportation
  • Boat arrives at their destination in the condition they left

Maintenance

A new solution to the problem of covering boats during outdoor maintenance.

  • Schedule work when you want to, not when the weather dictates
  • Prevents dirt and moisture ingress
  • No more dirt from neighboring boats!

In the UK, on average it rains 1 out of every 3 days. If you work outside this is a severe limitation.

As well as protecting a boat's superstructure, a shrink wrap covering can also be fitted to an external structure creating an environmentally sealed temporary workshop, ideal for jobs where dust and moisture need to be controlled.

  • Molded around an external structure - won't flap or chafe like tarpaulin
  • Zipped door allows controlled access
  • Can be ventilated, dehumidified, extracted as required
