San Diego Flooring Company Opens Marine Division with Teak-Alternative Decking at Shelter Island
San Diego, United States - October 4, 2026 / Floor Store & Design Center /
Floor Store & Design Center has announced the relocation of its Point Loma showroom to a larger facility at Shelter Island Marina, marking a notable development in the company's trajectory since its founding in 2013. Concurrent with the move, the family-owned business is formally launching a dedicated marine flooring division, extending its scope beyond residential and commercial interiors to serve San Diego's boating and yachting community.
A New Home at Shelter Island Marina
The expanded showroom at Shelter Island Marina positions Floor Store & Design Center within one of San Diego's most active centers for boat ownership and maritime recreation. The new space is configured to display a broader range of products, including materials engineered specifically for marine environments. Customers who have relied on Floor Store & Design Center as the best floor store San Diego has available for residential projects will find the Shelter Island location reflects a deliberate move toward serving a waterfront clientele with equally specialized requirements.
The company has maintained a presence in Point Loma since 2013, developing its operations around licensed in-house craftsmen and a family-owned structure. The co-ownership includes a Navy veteran and a woman co-owner, a background that carries a direct connection to the Point Loma and Shelter Island communities, where military service and maritime life are closely intertwined.
Specialized Marine Flooring Comes to San Diego Boaters
The new marine flooring division addresses a distinct gap in the local market. Floor Store & Design Center now offers teak-alternative composite decking, a synthetic option that replicates the appearance of traditional teak without the maintenance demands and cost associated with natural wood on boat decks. The product line also includes waterproof marine carpets formulated to withstand saltwater exposure, UV degradation, and the moisture conditions specific to vessel interiors.
For yacht owners and operators of larger vessels, the company offers luxury cabin flooring installations that apply the same design-focused approach used in high-end residential projects to the technically demanding spaces of a yacht interior. Each installation is carried out by the company's in-house licensed craftsmen, who manage measurement, custom fabrication, and installation without outsourcing any stage of the process.
The materials and methods selected for this division are specified to marine-grade standards, accounting for the practical conditions of a floating environment - moisture infiltration, structural flex, and the requirement for secure adhesion under variable circumstances.
Serving Both Land and Water Across San Diego
While the Shelter Island expansion marks a new direction, Floor Store & Design Center continues to serve the full range of residential and commercial flooring needs that have defined the business since 2013. Customers of the flooring store Encinitas location and throughout San Diego County retain access to the same in-house installation teams and design consultation services the company has consistently provided.
The co-ownership structure, which includes a Navy veteran with direct ties to the Point Loma military community, provides context for the timing and location of the expansion. Shelter Island sits adjacent to Naval Base Point Loma and serves as a natural gathering point for active duty personnel, veterans, and civilians connected to recreational boating. The relocation positions Floor Store & Design Center to serve that population in both residential settings and on the water.
Expanding What a Flooring Contractor San Diego Can Offer
The Shelter Island Marina relocation and marine service launch represent a concrete expansion of what a flooring contractor San Diego has traditionally been expected to provide. By combining land-based residential expertise with purpose-built marine flooring products and in-house installation capability, Floor Store & Design Center is broadening its service scope - measured not only in geography but in the range of environments it can address.
The new showroom allows boat and yacht owners to view marine flooring materials in person, compare finishes and textures side by side, and work directly with the company's design staff to identify the appropriate specification for their vessel type and intended use.
