Waterproofing Northwest Decks

About Duradek NW

Since 1974, Duradek has been supplying North America’s premier sheet vinyl pedestrian traffic membrane. Along with other PVC products, such as siding, windows and industrial roofing. Duradek vinyl has gained wide acceptance in the construction industry as the ultimate in maintenance-free outdoor flooring. Duradek’s factory engineered products and professional, detailed installation techniques have set new standards for waterproofing that works.

All Duradek membranes are reinforced for multi-directional strength and stability, and have a textured finish for slip-resistance. To increase performance, the vinyl makeup includes mildew inhibitors along with ultraviolet and heat stabilizers. It is also fire-retardant and resistant to most chemicals. Attractive patterns, colors and textures provide a contemporary new look, previously unavailable in the outdoor waterproof flooring market.

Duradek is continually researching, developing and testing new products and application techniques.

How Duradek is Better

Duradek Advantage

The waterproof deck by Duradek is the original, waterproof, single-ply PVC membrane for roofdecks, sundecks, patios, and balconies — virtually all decks. The Duradek line offers many advantages over the traditional or look-a-like systems. These advantages include:

Over 30 years and millions of square feet of Duradek® vinyl deck waterproofing installation history.
Z
Competitively priced — up-front pricing from frame construction to top surface vinyl.
Z
100% waterproof protection of the deck framing structure preventing wood rot — it keeps everything below it dry.
Z
Minimizes nail and screw breakdown from rust.
Z
Stops concrete surface breakdown.
Z
No mandatory re-coating to maintain warranty.
Z
Best life-cycle cost for deck available.
Z
Quality and uniform thickness are performed at the factory under controlled conditions to eliminate onsite contaminates, membrane delimitation and surface inconsistency.
Z
Sheet vinyl can be applied and used immediately unlike liquid systems.
Z
Stops the water from limiting your deck structure’s life.

Duradek can be installed in most northwest weather as long as the subsurface is reasonably dry (10-18% moisture). Bottom reinforcement for longest wear surface life and superior installation and detailing.

Printed patterns help hide dirt and keep surface looking attractive longer.

Z
Over 30 choices of color, thickness, and texture.

Drains, scuppers, overflows and several termination options (laminated metal or termbar) all with color options.

Simply put: if your deck or deck system can’t provide these qualities, then you will build and repair again and again. Stop the cycle! Build it once — build it right.

Trained Installers

Duradek offers on-going classroom and video training to waterproofing contractors.

The Duradek training is a combination of floor laying skills for appearance and single ply roofing skills for water tightness. Thorough knowledge of adhesives, sealants, coatings, carpentry, and concrete restoration work are common traits of a Duradek®contractor.

All necessary components of the finished waterproof system are available from Duradek. This includes the adhesives, sealants, all drains, scuppers and perimeter fastening devices.

All Duradek products, when applied by a certified Duradek contractor, are covered by written warranties. Terms are dependent upon product thickness.

Commercial Waterproofing Solutions

The Duradek System consists of a number of different types of sheet vinyl products, designed individually for many end uses.

All are textured PVC, laminated to a polyester reinforced fabric for additional strength. Available in an assortment of widths, thicknesses and textures, Duradek vinyl membranes offer a wide range of waterproofing solutions in both residential and commercial construction.

Heavy duty vinyl membranes are perfect for use on roof decks.

Constructed of 60 mils of PVC resin, these products are capable of accepting heavy pedestrian traffic and extreme heat and ultraviolet conditions.

Residential Waterproofing Solutions

The Duradek System is unique in its assortment of widths, thicknesses, patterns, colors and textures.

Duradek’s rough textured materials offer excellent slip-resistance for safe footing on ramps and stairs. The smoother textures offer easy-to-care-for surfaces.

Lighter weight Duradek vinyls offer cost-conscious solutions for deck and balcony surfaces not exposed to heavy traffic or extreme conditions. For roofdecks or surfaces requiring maximum protection, heavy-duty (Ultra) sheet flooring is ideal.

New contemporary colors, textures and patterns offer the potential for complimentary or contrasting borders and even custom design work.

Duradek vinyl surfaces also work very well for interior applications. Indoor pool decks, hot tub areas, and even garage floors are enhanced by Duradek’s waterproof, easy to clean surfaces.
