With Duradek
Duradek is the leader in the vinyl decking industry with an unsurpassed commitment to quality and waterproof performance. An attractive, low–maintenance deck surface that's available in a range of patterns and colors for long–lasting protection from the elements.
Duradek is the
original vinyl decking
Since 1974
The old liquid applied and concrete coating products used to be the only options available for waterproofing decks and balconies, and they failed repeatedly. Property owners and builders complained about leaks, unsightly appearance, expensive repairs, and time–consuming maintenance.
Duradek had a better solution – an attractive waterproof membrane. Duradek sheet vinyl is permanent waterproof protection for sundecks, roofdecks, balconies and more – designed for strength, stability and slip–resistance. Remember, if it doesn’t say Duradek, it’s not Duradek. All Duradek dealers go through an extensive training course to ensure the job is done right, the first time – Downie's Durable Decks is one of those trained and authorized dealers.
Featured Project
BEFORE: Residence with faded competitive vinyl decking that needs replacing
AFTER: Duradek deck solves rot and appearance issues
The Problem
This waterfront residence enjoys a fabulous location; however, the natural beauty also brings the relentless cycles of wind and rain that are part of the region. After some years, the previous type of vinyl used on the deck had become unattractive and required replacing. While the vinyl had protected the deck adequately to save most of the substrate, some of the waterproofing details from its installation did not fully protect the deck, and some rot was found. The wooden rails were attractive at the beginning, but they do require a lot of maintenance and the wood eventually rots, as it did in this case.
The Solution
The areas that had developed rot were repaired, and then the exsiting substrate was prepared for the application of Duradek Ultra Granite Chip vinyl. The vinyl was installed with the detailed attention to water flow and edging details that Duradek professionals are specifically trained in and expertly qualified for. Next, the powder–coated aluminum railings were installed, using a fascia mounted system. The glass panels between the aluminum posts allow the homeowner to enjoy the beautiful surroundings while still blocking the deck area from some of the coastal winds.
Job Notes
The selection of Duradek Ultra vinyl and powder coated aluminum railings with see–through glass panels was the perfect choice for these senior homeowners who wanted a low maintenance, non labor intensive outdoor solution. These low–maintenance options will keep their deck looking great without the need to hire laborers annually to maintain it.
