Traditional Range: Classic Appearance and Modern Convenience

Our traditional fendering range offers the best of both worlds: the timeless charm of a classic wooden appearance combined with the practical benefits of Wilks PVC fendering.

Benefits of the Wilks Traditional Range

In the realm of boat aesthetics, sometimes nothing beats the appearance of wood. However, the drawbacks of their high maintenance requirements can make them a less attractive option for fendering and rub rails. Wilks’ traditional range is made from high quality, low-maintenance, and durable PVC but with the added appeal of a classic wooden rub rail without the common drawbacks associated with wood.

The traditional range offers UV resistant and non-marking properties, ensuring that your fendering looks the same for longer. This range requires limited maintenance, leaving you more time to enjoy being on the water. The traditional range is easy to source, affordable to purchase and simple to install.

A Wide Range of Profiles to Suit Every Boat

The traditional range offers a versatile selection of profiles to suit various boat designs and requirements. From the classic D profiles available in widths ranging from 22mm to 100mm to the transformative U profiles that elegantly follow the natural lines of your boat. Both sizes of Bump! are also available in a traditional finish, providing boat owners with even more options to achieve their desired aesthetic.

For those navigating heavier-duty environments, our B profile (PVC 2404T) offers a sturdy yet visually appealing alternative to traditional wood. Additionally, to ensure consistency and completeness throughout your boat, a traditional finish is available for handrail profile, PVC 267T. Each profile category is designed to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your vessel.

Identifying products from our traditional range is simple in the Wilks webshop. Just look for a ‘T’ following the product name. All profiles come in a factory finish, ready for personal customisation to achieve the desired wood-grain effect using 40-grit sandpaper.
