Looks and durability are amazing and worth it. Have it in my 34 galley and V berth and after 21 years of use and abuse they still look great. We use the 4x8 veneer sheets with solid teak trim around hatches and such.

Again this will not be cheap. But it will add real beauty and marine look to boat. Others are very happy with the various faux types available so you may want to entertain looking at some of those. For the house we use festfloor flooring

Of course this will probably be a wonderful job.

Might as well go first class. In fact it is like flying: get a Lear Jet, it's worth it.

But for those who do have a budget, there are considerations other than how perfect, without regard to cost, it will be.
