I installed PlasDeck on a large deck hatch on a Grand Banks a couple years ago.
Very easy stuff to work with. I suspect PlasTeak is the same. PlasDeck is
definitely not slippery.
I just went out to my workshop and looked at my samples of PlasTeak. It is
offered in several wood combinations as well as finishes. The satin finish
doesn't appear slippery at all. The glossy finish, while much shinier, didn't
feel very slippery but it's a 2 x 4 sample. If you're interested, I'd suggest
ordering samples of wood combinations and finishes you might like before you
pop for a full sheet or sheets.
I can send pics of the finished deck hatch if anyone wants.
