Product Spotlight: Duradek
Duradek has been in the deck and balcony waterproofing industry since 1974. They pioneered the use of PVC membranes as an outdoor walking surface and were the first to have an approved single ply "walk on" roof membrane. Duradek membranes are the primary approved roofing materials on tens of thousands of roof decks throughout North America. From large condominium and townhouse complexes to single-family homes, Duradek is the choice of architects, builders, property managers, and homeowners who appreciate our attention to detail.
Duradek's factory-engineered products and professional installation techniques have set new standards for waterproofing that works. Duradek products are only installed by trained, professional applicators to ensure that the job is done right, the first time.
Duradek is the source for time-tested and proven materials, details, and installation techniques for any waterproof sundeck, rooftop deck, or balcony.
Duradek’s Current Product Line-up
- Duradek Ultra: Duradek is the original sheet vinyl designed to waterproof flat decks and roofs. Duradek is textured to provide slip-resistant walking surfaces and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns to provide a contemporary, clean look previously unavailable in the outdoor waterproof flooring industry. Installed in one easy step and in almost any weather condition, Duradek can be used immediately. Duradek provides the waterproofing and the walking surface in one simple solution.
- Duradek Ultra Tiledek: Duradek Ultra Tiledek is identical to Duradek Ultra other than a fabric-embedded top layer that creates a surface to which the tile bonding thinset will securely adhere. Installed with the same waterproofing details and techniques as Duradek, Tiledek is the waterproof roofing membrane under a tile, slate, or porcelain finished surface. In addition to protecting the surface below, Tiledek also acts as a crack-isolation barrier to bridge small cracks in the substrate preventing those cracks from transferring through to the tile.
- Duradek Ultra Plazadek: Duradek Ultra Plazadek is designed specifically for the purpose of waterproofing flat deck or roofs that are intended to have pavers, stamped concrete, or a wood/synthetic wood duckboard system placed overtop for pedestrian traffic. Plazadek is identical in construction to Duradek Ultra, installed with the same waterproofing techniques, by the same network of trained applicators, and performs the same function of protecting the living space below.
