Duradek....Waterproof Vinyl Sheet Systems (http://duradek.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-duradek-you-ask_27.html) Duradek has been in the deck and balcony waterproofing industry since 1974. We pioneered the use of PVC membranes as an outdoor walk-on roof and were the first to have an approved single ply roofing membrane. Duradek products are installed by trained, professional applicators to ensure the job is done right, the first time. 3 Duradek Products for 3 Different Exterior Finishes There are 3 Duradek products designed to provide waterproofing solutions on 3 types of exterior finishes. - Duradek Ultra – the Original Walkable Roofing Membrane for flat roof decks and balconies - Duradek Ultra Tiledek – Roofing and Anti-fracture Membrane for under Exterior Tile or Stone - Duradek Ultra Plazadek – Roofing Membrane for under a Floating Deck System Yes, Duradek is Green and Qualifies for LEED points Duradek has an interesting Green story and when compared to products that perform the same function (http://www.duradek.com/_customelements/uploadedResources/DuradekvsAlternatives.pdf), proves to be, by far, the greener choice. See Duradek’s complete Green story (http://duradek.blogspot.com/2010/12/is-duradek-really-green-yes.html) and how Duradek qualifies for LEED points (http://www.duradek.com/leed-credits.html). Duradek Credentials Duradek’s biggest testimonial is the fact that we have been waterproofing flat roofs, decks and balconies for over 36 years. Installation done by trained applicators is what separates Duradek from other vinyl waterproofing companies. For these reasons it has been chosen as one of Mike Holmes solutions (http://duradek.blogspot.com/2010/06/yes-its-true-mike-holmes-has-chosen-to.html) for a deck repair on Holmes on Homes, as well as various episodes of Extreme Makeover : Home Edition (http://www.duradek.com/id/388/News.html). Duradek Ultra Tiledek was voted 30 in the Top 100 Products of 2010 (http://duradek.blogspot.com/2010/09/duradek-ultra-tiledek-has-made-top-100.html) in both Qualified Remodeler and Building Products Magazines. What’s New at Duradek for 2011 In the Spring of 2011, Duradek Ultra is coming out with 2 new colors to complement the popular ‘Cork’ line, ‘Cork Espresso’ and ‘Cork Macchiato’. By mid-April we should be rolling out the newest pattern of Duradek. This will be an exciting new look for the PVC decking industry. Details on that to follow. Duradek introduced the 3rd unique Product line ‘Plazadek’ in late 2010 which has been received with great interest. Voted one of the “Show Toppers” at the 2011 International Builders Show (http://duradek.blogspot.com/2011/01/show-topper-at-2011-international.html), Plazadek drew a lot of interest. It will soon be featured on a video at Buildipedia.com. What About Railings? Durarail (http://www.duradek.com/Durarail.html?) is a powder coated aluminum railing and fencing system manufactured by Duradek. Aluminum is known for its strength and non-corrosive qualities making it the perfect building material for deck railings. New to Durarail is the “Heritage line”; incorporating a colonial style with the strength of aluminum, it is designed for those who want a classic wrought iron looking railing but the low maintenance and security of aluminum.
