Check Your Deck To Save Time And Money


For the home owner with a Duradek Ultra Vinyl Membrane on their deck, spring cleaning is an easy task of a quick wash and rinse, and the perfect time to review the details of inspecting that the superior installation of their Duradek is still performing as guaranteed.


 When inspecting your deck, remember to:
  • Check the caulking seals around posts and pillars
  • Check corner details
  • Check the caulking seals around vents and drains
  • Ensure your drains are sealed properly
  • Check the caulking seals around mounted railings, or any attachement that has been installed by penetrating the vinyl

 

Check your perimeter edges
 
Over time, the structure your Duradek membrane is adhered to may crack, shrink or shift and these inspections will uncover any potential problems with broken seals. If you discover a seal has cracked, contact your Duradek dealer who will recommend the proper sealant to correct it.


Carefully check all post seals are intact
Taking just a few minutes to perform seasonal inspections to ensure your Duradek waterproof membrane has no cracked or broken seals around its details when the sun is shining can catch a potential problem and save you from unexpected issues when its not.
