Vinyl Membrane Decks in Calgary

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.

Where a membrane is the right surface

  • Balconies over living space or an entrance.
  • Decks over a garage, walkout or finished basement area.
  • Rooftop patios and flat roofs that double as outdoor space.
  • Any deck where you want a solid, seamless surface that's easy to sweep and wash.

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.

How a membrane deck is built

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.

Common questions

Is a vinyl deck the same as a PVC deck?

No. A membrane is one continuous waterproof sheet. PVC decking is individual boards with gaps between them. We build membrane decks only.

Can you put a membrane over my existing balcony?

Often, if the structure underneath is sound and has the right slope. We'll check that at the site visit before quoting.

What railings go with a membrane deck?

Glass-and-aluminum and aluminum picket are the most common, with every post mount sealed into the waterproofing. See deck railings.
