Deck Services / Vinyl membrane decks
When there's a room, a garage or a walkway under your deck, the surface has to keep water out, not just shed it. A Duradek vinyl membrane is a continuous waterproof sheet over a sloped plywood deck, so the space below stays dry.
A board deck, even composite, has gaps between the boards by design. That's fine over grass. It's not fine over your living room.
The frame is built with a slight slope so water runs off rather than pooling. Plywood sheathing goes over the frame, and the vinyl membrane is laid over that and heat-welded at the seams, with the edges wrapped and flashed so water can't get in behind them. The detailing at the walls and doorways is where a membrane deck succeeds or fails, and it's where most of the care goes.
Quality vinyl membranes typically last 20 to 30 years with basic care: sweep it, wash it, and don't drag metal furniture legs across it.
Membrane only. We install vinyl membrane decks. We don't install PVC deck boards. If you want a board deck with no staining, look at composite.
No. A membrane is one continuous waterproof sheet. PVC decking is individual boards with gaps between them. We build membrane decks only.
Often, if the structure underneath is sound and has the right slope. We'll check that at the site visit before quoting.
Glass-and-aluminum and aluminum picket are the most common, with every post mount sealed into the waterproofing. See deck railings.
