Duradek is the trade name for a line of PVC vinyl membranes that were developed to solve waterproofing problems for sundecks, flat roof decks, balconies and other leisure walking surfaces. The technology was borrowed from the marine industry where PVC was being used to waterproof hull liners for over 25 years. If PVC membrane could perform well in those harsh marine environments, then it can certainly waterproof decks and balconies!
As the industry leader in sheet waterproofing systems, Duradek has been applied to literally billions of square feet of walking surfaces, to protect them from rot, decay and to form a roof over the space below. Now, with over 36 years of waterproofing experience, Duradek is still the primary choice of Architects, Builders, Property Managers and Homeowners who appreciate our attention to detail.
Here is 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 except the top surface is a fabric top, to which the thinset mortar mix that holds down tile, can tightly adhere to. Installed with the same waterproofing details and techniques as Duradek, Tiledek is the waterproofing 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 which 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.
Durarail – Durarail is a powder coated aluminum railing and fencing system produced by Duradek. Constructed with a heavy wall thickness of durable aluminum, the system is exceptionally strong. It enables wider spans between posts and provides for a better visual appearance and view. The TGIC powder coating comes in 8 standard colors, in addition to over 180 custom colors and provides a maintenance free, durable and attractive finish which meets AAMA 2604 and 2605 specifications. The Durarail finish will not rust, peel or corrode even in harsh environments. Durarail is available in many styles, from pickets to view-through glass and is easily customized to satisfy any requirement.
Durarail has systems that meet the rigorous building code standards in both the US and Canada. Additional engineering is available to satisfy even the toughest of code jurisdictions.
A Durarail railing or fencing system is a safe, strong, yet attractive addition to any outdoor living space.
