King StarBoard® is the original marine-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) building sheet — the industry standard trusted by professional boat builders and marine fabricators for over thirty years. This sheet measures 1/2 inch thick x 24 inches x 54 inches in a classic Black finish, manufactured via King Plastic's proprietary K-Stran™ process for superior flatness, consistent thickness, and uniform density throughout.
Engineered to replace wood in demanding marine environments, King StarBoard® is fully resistant to rot, swelling, splintering, and delamination — even with prolonged exposure to UV, saltwater, and humidity. Unlike teak and traditional marine woods, it requires no painting, varnishing, or refinishing of any kind.
