Approximately 1 hour
All decking products designed for exterior use and under constant exposure to the elements will eventually show some signs of degradation; however, vinyl decking can be used to prolong the life cycle of various building products. This course examines walkable roof deck membranes and roofing systems and includes discussions on system characteristics, design considerations, and how to properly specify roof deck membrane systems. This program will be beneficial to architects, specifiers, and contractors involved in single- and multiple-family home construction.

Name: John Ogilvie
Title: President, Duradek Ltd.
John Ogilvie has been involved with waterproofing decks and balconies with Duradek since 1976. When the concept of a decorated, textured PVC membrane being glued to an outdoor pedestrian traffic surface was just in its infancy, Mr. Ogilvie started a contracting company focused on its sales and application. After successfully pioneering the product's introduction in the greater Vancouver market, he and his partner purchased a significant shareholding in the organization that developed the product line (they have subsequently become the sole owners).
With his contracting and marketing background, Mr. Ogilvie has been instrumental in the development of products and installation techniques that are currently being marketed all over North America. Mr. Ogilvie was a key figure in developing the product line into the industry's first approved “walkable roof deck PVC system”. He is currently involved in mentoring a new generation of trainers to teach contracting firms how to install the product line, as well as leading Research and Development to ensure compatibility of all products involved in PVC membrane installation. These efforts, along with rigorous testing to ensure compliance with building code requirements, support an industry-wide network.
