We changed our old wood headlining, for a PVC tongue & groove version, i purchased the product from my local Eurocell branch, (www.eurocell.co.uk) and used 20mm stainless self tapping screws.
Looks great, easy installation, easy to clean and not expensive. Please do remember that PVC emits lots of (very) dangerous fumes in case of a fire. A smoke detector is no luxury, especially when asleep 💤
Looks great but dont forget any wiring/vhf coax that you might want to route inside or above the PVC cladding that will need to go back to the switch boards/radio before fitting the panels.
Ingenious solution! I’ve been mulling over what to do with my headlining and costing up new vinyl headlining. Brilliant piece of lateral thinking. Thanks very much!
Looks great. You did a fine job. I would love to do something similar but I want to take it down easily to install or repair deck hardware. Thanks for sharing.
Use this product a lot. There's U shaped edging strip you can use for the cut ends We put them on first and they tuck into the profile giving a nice finish . It also holds the strip in position either side when you are working. Thought about putting the same on my 25 searay but this stuff attracts condensation big time. Looks nice though keep up the good work
Hi mate I've just bought my first boat to restore I'm just wondering how you fitted the fixing points too the ceiling, I'm obviously fibre glass aswell and just wondering 🤙
Great video. I am doing this on my Westerly during this winter. Can I ask please.....when finishing the cut ends of the boards adjacent to the hatch, did you use any particular type of trim? Have you done anything to the side walls which the windows are fitted into - the roof lining on mine follows on down the walls? Finally, have you done anything in the front cabin?...my headlining in there is hanging off and in need of some attention. Many thanks for putting this out on social media. Its really helpful. Top man!
Nice job. I think you lucked out with the width of the roof matching the material! How does the edge piece attach, and how does one finish the ends at the hatch? Thanks.
I've just bought a Centaur that needs new head lining, great video, just what I was looking for. Finished job looks good. Did you put any trim on the sides or edge by the companionway? A video on that if you did would be useful.
i bought an adjustable corner bead from Eurocell, it's a flexible corner trim that fits whatever the angle is, i held it on with screws and white plastic caps.
Fair play nice job, because of the gap above could you have stuck 10 or 15 mm foam above, it would save a lot of heat in winter, but saying that would it be too warm in summer ?. anyway, it looks great well done.
I’ve not used her yet for an overnight, but the condensation was minimal from the kettle, and it’s twin wall so probably offers a little bit of insulation. It’s doesn’t seem any worse than Vinyl.
@@THENAVIGAT0R excellent mate it would transform my boat and am just in the process of finding a solution. I'm sure I could pop up a little insulation above it anyway. Your system looks great and its a fraction of the price of the foam-backed vinyl stuff.
@@damienduggan9060 As you can see in the video, I used the same material for the cross ribs, so I have a minimum of 10mm clearance if I’d wanted some insulation above, if I have any problems, it’s an easy job the drop the panels down and put some Tesco camping mat in there.
@@THENAVIGAT0R Yes thats exactly what I was thinking. Just enough to insulate. For me it doest need to be full liveaboard quality just to keep the damp away. Best of luck mate safe miles :)
So far it’s been ok, we get a little condensation above the cooker with the kettle on, but it’s been fine on the rest of the roof, it’s a twin wall system with a 10mm air gap, I did think about putting camping mat above it, but we lift the boat out from October till May, the cost of real wood and ongoing maintenance put us off, this stuff just needs a wipe down.👍
I just started in the middle and worked my way out to the edges, the final strips on each side are tapered and finished off with a covering bead of pvc that adjusts to any angle.
Hello, greetings, I am Spanish and I do not know your language, I translate with google so excuse me if there is a misinterpretation, I found this video searching on youtube, I am in the process of buying this boat, Westerly Centauro 26, I would like to know your opinion for a Navigation through the Mediterranean, my navigation plan is coastal, and family, trips at most two or 3 days 3 people, .. what interior height it has, and what advice could you give me, .. thank you very much
Hola, gracias por tu comentario, la traducción al inglés fue perfecta, con suerte mi traducción al español funciona igual de bien. El Centaur es un barco familiar perfecto, es muy estable y puede soportar el mal tiempo fácilmente. En el interior hay 1,8 m de altura, incluso en el inodoro, todas las literas tienen más de 1,8 m de largo. es un gran barco para excursiones de un día o algunas personas viajan por el mundo en ellas. Compruebe si hay pernos de quilla oxidados y un buen motor, hay tantos buenos a la venta, no compre uno malo. Bienvenido a la Hermandad de Centauros.
@@ifitfloatsyourboatsail5844 Thank you very much for answering so quickly, ....... I liked this information about the interior height because most of the boats do not have the height that I need, I hope it goes well with your boat, .. greetings.
