The Tiledek Solution
There is nothing like the look of tile or slate on that outdoor deck. Unfortunately, the beauty is soon forgotten if water makes its way into your home from the deck, through the tile. It is then clear that most of the attention was given to the appearance rather than proper waterproofing techniques, when the tile was first installed. The resulting repairs can be intrusive and expensive when the cost of replacing the title is considered.
This is a common story. There seems to be a lack of understanding within the building community about the proper waterproofing of decks, balconies, and roof decks that are overlaid with porcelain tile, slate or some of the other natural stone finishes. That’s where Duradek and our proven waterproofing system, fits into the picture.
Duradek has been waterproofing roof decks since 1974 with PVC sheet membranes that are meant to be walked on. Our products are sold and installed by factory trained professionals who specialize in flat surface waterproofing. Many of those Duradek decks have been covered with tile over the years. And so led to an enhanced redesign of our regular Duradek Ultra, which became an anti-fracture, roofing membrane capable of having tile applied over top.
Duradek Company Story
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 ultra-violet and heat stabilizers. 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.
