Heat Shrink Wrap: Total Protection for Your Boat

Heat shrink wrap is the most effective barrier against the elements during winter storage. Unlike traditional tarps, it conforms perfectly to the shape of the hull, eliminating water pockets and dirt accumulation. Choose the right size wrap based on the length of your boat and consider an extra margin to facilitate coverage.

In addition to the wrap, we offer a complete assortment of essential accessories for a professional installation:

• Guilbert Express heat guns: Temperature adjustable to prevent burning the wrap and ensure uniform shrinkage.


• Stayput shock cords: To securely attach the wrap to the base of the hull, resistant to salt and UV rays.


• Telescopic aluminum support poles: To create an internal structure that supports the wrap and prevents sagging caused by snow weight.


• Vents: To prevent condensation from forming under the wrap.

A properly installed heat shrink wrap protects your boat from:

• UV rays: Prevent fading of paint and deterioration of plastics.


• Rain and snow: Prevent leaks that can cause mold and structural damage.


• Dirt and debris: Keep the boat clean and ready for the next season.

Nautica Basile's Advice

How much heat shrink wrap do I need for my boat?

The amount of wrap needed depends on the length and width of your boat. In general, it is advisable to add at least one meter extra per side to facilitate installation and ensure complete coverage. Contact us for personalized advice.

What type of heat gun should I use?

It is essential to use a heat gun specifically for heat shrink wrap, such as the Guilbert Express models found in our catalog. These guns reach high temperatures in a controlled manner, avoiding burning or damaging the wrap. Never use a hair dryer or a generic hot air gun, which are not suitable for this purpose.

How can I prevent condensation from forming under the wrap?

To prevent condensation, it is important to ensure good ventilation under the wrap. Use the specific vents that you find in this section and make sure there are openings in the lower part of the wrap to promote air circulation. You can also use bags of salt or silica gel to absorb moisture.
