Replacing teak on a wartime warship deck

What could replace teak decking in the Second World War?

A non-wood surface such as a bitumen-like coating might be considered for fire and water resistance, despite extra weight.

The response starts from the fact that teak is a covering over a steel deck, then explores non-wood alternatives. Bitumen-like surfaces are raised as a possible trade-off: heavier than teak, but potentially more resistant to fire and water in wartime conditions.
