The Vancouver Fall Home Show is always a valuable resource for BC residents looking for home improvement and lifestyle inspiration. As we adjust from our gorgeous summer into the fall/winter nesting season, this annual event gives us something to look forward to. Leading into the chilly northern winter months, the Vancouver Home and Design Show is the perfect way to gather ideas for your home renovation plans for the coming year.
Vancouver Fall Home Show 2019
The annual Vancouver Fall Home Show is a favourite annual event for Vancouverites. This exciting home design and lifestyle event takes place Thursday, October 24th and runs until Sunday, October 27th, 2019. The show is conveniently located at the Vancouver Convention Center West with ample parking and transit.
As rainy season descends on the Greater Vancouver region, you may not be focused on your decks and balconies. But now is the time you will start to discover if you’ve got any water leak issues. Don’t let avoiding your deck waterproofing turn into larger, more expensive renovations down the road.
Many of us desire a really great deck or other outdoor living space that does not require a lot of work or expense to maintain. That is why you should stop by the Duradek booth #122.
If you’ve got any questions about deck waterproofing, this could be the most important stop you make at the Vancouver Home & Design Show. Duradek has been waterproofing decks, balconies and rooftop decks for over 45 years. Because of that proven history, we are confident we offer you the best waterproofing expertise needed for your outdoor living space. Take a moment to discuss Duradek’s excellent warranty with one of our specially trained and authorized installers.

Duradek Booth #122
Duradek and its superior method of deck waterproofing by trained installers may be the most important exhibitor you visit if you’ve got a decking project in your future.
Fall is the perfect time to begin your research on a deck renovation.
Duradek professional installers with their detailed waterproofing experience are in high demand. Because of this, many people who look for their expertise in the busy spring and summer months are disappointed with longer than anticipated wait times.
Ask for a quote now so that you are ready to have your beautiful new deck built for your enjoyment early spring. Alternately, get a jump on things and start now. If you get that second level deck covered in Duradek this fall, you’ll have a dry, protected area below. It’s always great to have some outdoor living space you can use through the rainy winter months.
Why Fall is the Best Time to Plan & Research Your Deck Renovation
Even though peak season for enjoying your deck has passed, autumn is a great time to start planning your deck renovations or deck make-overs. Perhaps you’ve grown tired of the labour it takes to maintain the waterproofing on your wood deck. Maybe this year you skipped your deck waterproofing maintenance completely and are uncertain what condition your deck will be in next spring.
With the amount of rain we have on the west coast, waterproofing should definitely be a topic you look into when visiting the Vancouver Fall Home Show. If you have a deck, you probably want it to stay solid, safe and attractive for as long as possible…a deck that lasts for generations (see video at bottom of post). The best way to make your deck last is to protect it from the elements with a reliable waterproofing product. That’s where Duradek’s expertise comes in.
Duradek Dealers are In-demand Decking Experts
Duradek installers will be on-hand throughout the show to answer any of your decking questions or arrange to come out to assess your deck and provide you with a free estimate. Remember, when water gets into the structure, wood rot can develop slowly over time. If it goes unnoticed, what once could have been a small repair can easily become a complete rebuild!
Even if you don’t want to start your decking project until spring, making your deck renovation or building plans in the fall by consulting with your contractor is a really smart move. This will help you to get your project scheduled and completed when you want it. If you wait until spring and summer, you may be waiting longer than you think. Decking specialists are in demand – and the seasonal demand for decking means their spring and summer availability disappears quickly!
Your Deck can be the Best Part of Your Home – All Year, Every Year
You probably miss spending time out on your deck relaxing, barbecuing and enjoying time with family and friends…unless you are lucky enough to have quality outdoor living space that works for year-round use. Come to talk to us if you are interested in learning how Duradek naturally transforms your elevated deck into a roof for a lower patio to enjoy some dry outdoor space all year.
A lot of home show attendees already have had Duradek on their decks for many years It’s probably still performing its waterproofing function perfectly fine. However, if you are interested in updating the look of your deck, we’ve got some fantastic new patterns and colours.
Since Duradek vinyl decking is one of the easiest ways to transition your living space from the indoors to the outdoors to expand your usable living space, we make it easy for you to find a style that suits the look of your home. With 10 styles and 26 colours to choose from, we’ve got something for nearly every taste…and all with the same low-maintenance advantages for reliable waterproofing.
Functionality and aesthetics combine in one product solution that allows you to enjoy the look of your outdoor living space while being confident that it is keeping your home water-tight….all without the need for annual maintenance! A simple one-time application and your Duradek is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.
In a rainforest region that is very vulnerable to water infiltration, this could be the most important stop for you at the Home Show….we hope to see you there!
Duradek at the Vancouver Fall Home Show
A long-standing participating exhibitor in both the fall and spring Vancouver Home Shows, Duradek is one of the most recognizable brands for deck waterproofing in British Columbia. Not surprisingly, Duradek was originally created in B.C. over 45 years ago. Since then, Duradek has been joined by various other vinyl manufacturers that contributed to some confusion to homeowners. (Some contractors refer to all vinyl decking as ‘Duradek’, even though it may have been manufactured by less reliable sources). Even with many other options now in the marketplace, Duradek maintains its position as the #1 most tested and recognizable vinyl brands available.
With headquarters based in the Greater Vancouver area, the team at Duradek always anticipates The Vancouver Home and Design show. It is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to compare their options and plan for any renovations, upgrades or other investments into their homes.
Come by and check us out. You will find us at booth #122 on the west perimeter heading towards the main stage.

In fall of 2017, Duradek presented our newest line and colours of designer vinyl decking – Desert Quartz and Arctic Quartz.
