Introduction

Asis Boats has developed a revolutionary Shield hull, by creating a foam-filled aluminum hull design. The shield adds substantial durability, a quieter ride, vibration and fuel reduction, while enhancing flotation and overall performance.

In this post, we’ll explore the strategic advantages of the Foam Shield Hull and the reasons behind the adoption of this innovative hull on all ASIS Aluminum boats.

What is a Foam Shield Hull?

The Foam shield hull is an exclusive hull design by ASIS Boats. It consists of an advanced rib construction method where we bond medium-density rigid core material to the hull, stringers, and bulkheads, filling the space between the aluminium hull and the deck structure. By filling the chambers inside the hull, the shield acts as a shock and vibration absorber, resulting in a smooth, solid ride, unlike traditional hollow Aluminum hulls.

The foam-filled aluminium hull also works as a protective barrier, enhancing buoyancy, impact strength, and superior insulation.
Asis Boats’ high-quality materials, expertise, and experience combine to provide a lightweight yet versatile boat with best-in-class performance, safety, and durability.

Key Benefits of the Foam Shield Aluminium Hull

Enhanced Buoyancy and Flotation
Boats with foam-filled hulls have enhanced flotation, making them unsinkable, even if the hull is damaged.

Improved Insulation and Noise Reduction
The insulation properties reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency while dampening noise and vibrations for a more comfortable ride.

Increased Durability and Impact Resistance
The foam shield aluminium hull’s layer absorbs impacts and provides rigidity to the hull, minimizing dents and cracks. This improves the boat’s longevity, even in sailing through ice-encrusted waters and harsh ocean environments.

Why Choose a Foam Shield Aluminum Hull Over a Traditional Hull?

Traditional Aluminum Hulls
Traditional Aluminum hulls are made of solid aluminum with a hollow center. Although the traditional Aluminum hull is strong and reliable, the hollow hull delivers some disadvantages.

Many Aluminum hulls transmit wave noise and vibration to the deck and into the cabin, resulting in the boat sounding tinny.

Hollow boats do not have any floatation, which makes them more susceptible to sinking if compromised. Some manufacturers include additional blocks of flotation, but the beauty of our process is that the foam shield we use is bonded to the structure, delivering rigidity. Traditional hulls flex more easily through the hollow areas.

Foam Shield Aluminum Hulls
In contrast, foam filled aluminum hulls offer numerous advantages and mission success over traditional hull designs. The biggest benefit of a foam shield hull is built-in flotation bonded to the structure, ensuring enhanced buoyancy and safety in case of damage. Even if the hull gets damaged, the filled aluminum hull boat will remain able to fulfill its mission, and substantially reduce water incursion.

Besides absorbing impacts, the hull absorbs impact, minimizing dents and cracks, and extending the boat’s useful life.

The patented foam-filled aluminium hull by ASIS Boats offers significant advantages in fuel efficiency, reduced noise, and less vibration compared to traditional hollow hulls. This innovative design enhances buoyancy and rigidity, resulting in less resistance and friction between the hull and the water. With reduced drag, the boat requires less power to move, easing the strain on the engine and ultimately leading to lower fuel consumption.

The foam absorbs and dampens sound, reducing transmission through the boat’s structure. Experience the next level of performance with ASIS Boats’ cutting-edge technology.

Furthermore, if we compare the cost of the traditional hull vs. the foam-filled aluminum hull, it is a more cost-effective option in the long run, offering better resale value and lower upkeep.

In summary, while traditional hulls have their merits, solid core aluminum hulls provide superior protection, comfort, and long-term value, making them an excellent choice for boat owners looking for enhanced performance and durability.

How Foam Shield Aluminium Hulls Contribute to Longevity and Value

Foam Shield Hulls contribute to longevity and value due to rigidity and durability, as well as effective protection.

The longevity and the value of the boat increases due to the increased strength of the hull, which prevents and absorbs impacts, reducing the risk of cracks, dents, and other damage that could lead to costly repairs over time.

The resilience of the shield hull and superior insulation properties ensure the boat can withstand years of use in demanding conditions, from rough waters to collisions with debris or rocks.

In summary, the foam-filled hull keeps the boat’s internal and external structures in prime condition for a longer period, and it is worth better over time. The combination of reduced maintenance costs, enhanced durability, and long-lasting performance makes it a wise investment for boat owners, providing both peace of mind and higher resale potential.

Conclusion

The foam-filled aluminium Hulls represent a significant advancement in boat construction, offering a combination of enhanced buoyancy, durability, and insulation.

These hulls not only improve performance by providing better flotation, impact resistance, and noise reduction, but they also contribute to the longevity and value of the boat.
