Project: Elevated Sundeck Renovation – Surrey, BC

PROBLEM

The homeowners knew the surface of their deck looked less than appealing, but after a professional inspection, they realized they had bigger problems under the surface.

With only a painted surface and no other waterproof protection, it didn’t take long for the elements to compromise that ineffective barrier. This, in turn, caused the paint to chip off and create a slippery exterior which is a big safety concern.

Once the wood structure was exposed, the homeowners knew they needed to address the water damage on the surface before the whole deck needed to be replaced. They called their local Duradek dealer for a no-obligation onsite quote.

DURADEK™ SOLUTION

The solution to these accumulative and costly issues was Duradek™ waterproof vinyl deck membrane. Their local Duradek dealer, Dek-Cetera, started right away on the renovations.

First, they removed the old plywood and replaced it with ¾ʺ untreated plywood to prep for the installation of the membrane.

They decided on the colour “Heritage Agate” as a neutral choice for their exterior colour scheme. Duradek’s water-tight seal achieved with professional installation techniques around all of the perimeter edges ensures reliable, warrantied waterproof protection.

With a quick turnaround of 1 day, the couple was able to use their deck that evening and they never have to worry about re-applying waterproofing again.

Job Notes

With a Duradek vinyl installation, you guarantee prevention of both sun and moisture from getting to the lumber, which allows your deck to last indefinitely. This eliminates any costly structural repairs in the future, as well as time and material wasted.
