Ideas For Deck Designs Offers Quality Advice From Duradek Professional

Waterproofing is a specialty and the folks at Ideas For Deck Designs online know that when something requires specialized skills, it is the professionals that you rely on that can make the difference between a successful project and a costly, time consuming headache. With this in mind, Ideas for Deck Design called on Duradek professional installer Matt McClure of DekMax to answer some key questions that should be considered when undertaking a waterproofing project on a patio or rooftop deck.

Matt, who was a regular do-it-yourself man throughout his life will be the first one to tell you that the trained professionals can make any job look easy, but when it comes to waterproofing,
D-I-Y is NOT a good idea. In fact, besides the quality of the vinyl itself, it was this philosophy and the essential basic training for laying vinyl (and all of the intricate details involved) required by Duradek that originally attracted Matt to the product. Laying down  a waterproof vinyl membrane is not as simple as rolling out the vinyl and gluing it down. Waterproofing requires some very specific and intricate details to be effective and as the Duradek slogan states - "It's all in the details."

Check out Matt's interview where he addresses specific questions regarding how the vinyl decking handles hot and cold, finishing details and the superior results being performed in the area of outdoor tile decks with Duradek's Ultra Tiledek waterproof membrane. Specifically formulated to best adhere thin set (tile bonding agent) and provide unsurpassed waterproofing protection under tile, Tiledek is part of a tested and proven system that takes the challenging task of waterproofing under outdoor tile from almost inevitable failure to a successful system with a rating that can meet the requirements for rooftop decks.
