Inspired by Nature...Designed to Withstand It

Duradek Ultra Legacy Pebble Beach

Duradek, the most trusted brand on waterproof membranes has perfected the trend of a natural stone look on low maintenance outdoor walking surfaces by introducing Pebble Beach, the latest addition to the Legacy line of PVC membranes.

Duradek Ultra Legacy Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach brings a remarkable aggregate pebble appearance to outdoor spaces in a simple, one-step application while maintaining the reliable, low maintenance waterproof protection you have come to rely on from Duradek.

This follows the introduction of the first two options in the new Legacy line introduced to honour Duradek's 40th anniversary in 2014...

Duradek Ultra Legacy Barnwood and Driftwood

Your deck can have a look similar to that of aged wood without sacrificing safety, security or waterproofing peace-of-mind.

Up close you can recognize the characteristics of the vinyl membrane with its slip resistant, textured surface; but when laid out on a deck the colour blends and pattern allow your eye to pick up the traditional appearance of wood grains, but without any of the maintenance that wood requires.

Duradek Makes Top 101 New Products List on Professional Builder

Professional Builder Magazine selected Duradek as one of the 101 Best New Products of the Year for 2013. Although Duradek has consistently been manufactured over a strong 40 year history, it is it's designer style Ultra Cork Macchiato vinyl that earned Duradek a spot on the top new products list in Professional Builder.

Duradek Ultra Cork Vinyl Color Options

The Cork line launched in 2011 with the first color option, Natural, followed by Espresso and Macchiato. Since then it has been gaining popularity as a reliable option for waterproofing decks with unique style. With a contemporary look, the Cork line of vinyl has a blended texture that mimics natural cork and that adds a stylish element to outdoor design schemes. The most recent addition to the Cork line is the bold Graphite which has just become available and is now starting to roll out into the market place.

This best product recognition is given to the products that receive the most interest from Professional Builder readers, and with and with an audience reach of more than 112,000 home building professionals each month, all of whom have the authority to buy or specify building products. We are proud to stand out amongst the thousands of quality building products available.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Product

Readers that showed interest in Duradek vinyl membranes could see that it offers:

• roof grade waterproof protection
• a stylish walking surface for decks
• a long lasting, low maintenance solution

What they may not have seen, is all of the testing and quality control that goes on behind the scenes to ensure Duradek remains the strongest performing vinyl membrane on the market.

Duradek is the original vinyl membrane having covered over 125 million square feet of decks and balconies all across North America over the last 40 years. Other product have come along, but compared to Duradek they simply do not have the proven performance. Take for example this Accelerated Weathering Test (ASTM G90) that had Duradek tested side-by-side with another vinyl brand. Would you want to risk this happening to your decking project?

If you are a building professional and the quality of your projects matters to you, be sure to discuss deck waterproofing options with your local Duradek dealer. And remember, not all vinyl is created equal so be sure to ask the right questions when choosing a waterproofing membrane for your next decking project.

Duradek Selected as One of the Best New Prouducts for 2013

Professional Remodeler Magazine selected Duradek as one of the 101 Best New Products of the Year for 2013. Duradek has a strong 40 year history with consistent manufacturing so it may seem surprising to see it on a Best New Products list, but it is Duradek's stylish and innovative Forest Floor pattern in the new color of Ash that earned this honor.

Forest Floor Ash

Not only did Duradek Ultra Forest Floor Ash make the top 101 list (see page 35), but in the decking category it made top 10! The Forest Floor line launched in 2012 with the first color option, Birch. Since then it has been gaining popularity as a reliable option for waterproofing decks with unique style. Inspired by nature, the Forest Floor line of vinyl has a subtle pattern reminiscent of a forest floor with neutral tones that can complement most outdoor design schemes.
