Duradek is Proud to be a Supplier Sponsor for the 2012 PNE Prize Home

Duradek is proud to be a part of one of Western Canada’s most anticipated summer events and a favourite Vancouver tradition as a supplier sponsor for the 2012 PNE Prize Home.  An annual summer event since 1910, the Pacific National Exhibition is just around the corner and the coveted Prize Home lures hopeful thousands who are more than willing to submit themselves to long lines in the summer sun to get a glimpse of the interior of this beautiful home.


The PNE Prize Home lottery has been a favourite feature of the PNE since 1934, and this year’s grand prize home lives up to the standards of luxurious living that fair-goers have come to expect. This gorgeous craftsman-style home is constructed by Britco and Duradek is very proud to be a supplier sponsor providing our quality waterproof vinyl for the two decks on the home.

The 2012 PNE Prize Home

The more than 3,000 square foot Prize Home has a beautiful exterior and a warm and rich interior design scheme (provided by Jillian Harris from Extreme Makeover Home Edition) that reflects the natural environment of its future home at Canada’s Alpine Village at Sun Peaks Resort.  A virtual tour of this home will show you the exquisite design details and demonstrate the attention to detail that went into its construction.

With 20’ vaulted ceilings, 3 fireplaces, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a walk-in wine cellar this home features 2 decks that Duradek has protected with Duradek Forest Floor 'Birch' waterproof vinyl. This is one critical detail of the home that should not be taken for granted. Duradek Ultra vinyl is a guaranteed waterproofing membrane that protects a home from costly water damage that can silently overtake a house when the decks are incorrectly constructed or inadequately waterproofed.

Just outside these master bedroom doors is one of
the beautfully protected decks from Duradek.

Whether the lucky winner of this home wishes to enjoy the deck off of the master bedroom or off the main living area, they will be enjoying it with very little maintenance thanks to the durability of Duradek vinyl and the low maintenance aluminum railing system. While the railing system available from Durarail is made from long-lasting aluminum from Excell Railing Systems, it is designed with the appearance of real wood with a quality finish from Mayne Coatings to blend in with the natural surroundings of its Sun Peaks location. Even in the winter months, there is no worry about rust to the railings and the Duradek vinyl deck surface can accept the application of de-icing salts without damaging the surface.  A simple rinse to ensure all chemicals are removed from the deck before the spring sun comes out keeps Duradek vinyl looking great.

Good Luck to all who enter from your friends at Duradek!
