As a licensed contractor in California and owner of DeckExpert.com, Bill Leys specializes in the installation of deck coatings for decks over living space and is very familiar with the Duradek family of deck waterproofing solutions. An authoritative voice in the deck building industry, Bill brings a not-to-miss highlight of JLC Live Northwest with his education session. Since waterproof decks and/or tile-covered waterproof decks rate high on the list of components claimed to have construction defects, this is an incredibly valuable 2 ½ hours for any construction professional who takes on decking projects.

Tildek, as part of the outdoor tile assembly is one of
the best ways to ensure waterproof success in exterior tile projects.

Bill presents “Construction and Waterproofing Methods for Walking Decks and Tile Covered Decks” which takes place on Wednesday, December 4th, 2013 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The session covers best construction practices and will be divided into two parts.

The first half discusses pedestrian deck systems and best building practices to construct a well built and long lasting deck assembly.

The second half instructs on roof decks and how to properly build and waterproof them for a systems to last 30+ years.

Learning objectives include:

• Best practices when installing new waterproof systems for tile.
• Best practices in building and framing a deck that will receive tile, which materials are available for waterproofing tile decks.
• How to properly sequence the waterproofing of the deck with the construction of the building.
