Wilks at Boot Düsseldorf 2026: Experience Expert Fendering Solutions

Wilks Fendering, a Flexiteek group product, will be showcased at Boot Düsseldorf 2026. One of the world’s premier boating and marine exhibitions.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the latest in marine decking and fendering solutions. The team will be on hand to offer advice on a variety of applications.


Fendering with boat design in mind

Over the past few years, the perception of fendering has evolved. Once seen purely as a functional accessory, separate from the vessel’s aesthetics. It is now recognised as an integral design element. Protection remains crucial, but it can now complement a boat’s lines rather than stand apart.

Today, they are selected not just for the safety they provide, but for the way they enhance a boat’s overall visual identity.

For owners who value thoughtful design and cohesion, this approach is a natural fit. Additionally, Wilks fendering helps maintain a boat’s long-term value, reducing the risk of costly damage that can occur when proper protection is absent.

At boot Düsseldorf, we’ll be highlighting the Click Range, a sleek and modern fendering solution designed for fast, effortless installation. Ideal for contemporary boats, this range integrates seamlessly with modern hull designs while providing reliable protection.

Built for both style and durability, the Click Range is UV-stabilised, ensuring long-lasting colour without fading or staining your boat or the water.

The Click Range is available in four sizes, ranging from 38mm to 150mm in width, meaning it is easy to find the perfect fit for your boat. Click Range comes in classic black and white as standard, with custom colours available upon request for a reasonable minimum order.


Showcase of D-Fenders – Protecting Boats and Pontoons

Alongside our Click range, we will also present our D-Fenders. They are engineered to deliver a high level of protection in busy marine environments, for both boats and pontoons.

Furthermore, the advantage of the D range is that it offers a generous contact surface area. Effectively absorbing impact from docks or other vessels to help prevent damage. As one of the largest product lines within Wilks, finding the right D-Fender for your boat has never been easier.

With profiles available for pontoons, D-Fenders are ideal for high-contact areas. Combining durability with superior resistance to wear and impact.
