Duradek®, The Original Sheet Vinyl Membrane System

Used for waterproofing decks and balconies, was developed to solve leak problems nearly 40 years ago.

Company Story

Since 1974, Duradek® has been supplying North America's premier sheet vinyl pedestrian traffic membrane. Along with other PVC products, such as siding, windows and industrial roofing, Duradek® vinyl has gained wide acceptance in the construction industry as the ultimate in maintenance-free outdoor flooring. Duradek®'s factory engineered products and professional, detailed installation techniques have set new standards for waterproofing that works. All Duradek® membranes are reinforced for multi-directional strength and stability, and have a textured finish for slip-resistance. To increase performance, the vinyl makeup includes mildew inhibitors along with ultra-violet and heat stabilizers. Attractive patterns, colors and textures provide a contemporary new look, previously unavailable in the outdoor waterproof flooring market. Duradek® is continually researching, developing & testing new products and application techniques.

Trained Installers

Duradek® offers classroom and video training to waterproofing contractors. The Duradek® Authorized Contractor receives training which is a combination of floor laying skills for appearance and single-ply roofing skills for water tightness. Thorough knowledge of adhesives, sealants, coatings, carpentry and concrete restoration work are common traits of a Duradek® contractor. All necessary components of the finished waterproof system are available from Duradek®. This includes the adhesives, sealants, drains, scuppers and perimeter fastening devices. All Duradek® products, when applied by an authorized Duradek® contractor, are covered by written warranties. Terms are dependant upon product thickness.
