The materials used in the new Sperry stores were carefully selected to reflect authentic nautical design. The floors in the front section feature a wide plank porcelain tile that captures the look of a painted and weathered floor reminiscent of those found in seaside cottages along the Eastern Seaboard. The floors in the Boathouse are simple sealed concrete, evoking the no-nonsense feel of a working boathouse. Nautical props and lighting fixtures are strategically placed throughout the Boathouse to enrich the experience, adding authenticity. Finishes feature laminates ranging from Nepal Teak -- popular in a wide variety of yachts -- to silver, blue and white laminates, echoing the signature colors of the Sperry brand.
