Dekmax: Environmental Benefits
Duradek Vinyl Products Reduce Energy, Waste and Maintenance
Wanting to be Green? We do too, it's our environment and together we can make it better for the next generations. Choosing a sustainable product is not that difficult, it may take a little thinking ahead when it comes to the design and future replacement.
How easy will it be to replace in the future? Ease of replacement reduces material waste and energy consumed. With something as simple as a removable trim board during initial installation you can avoid disturbing the existing wall finishes during future replacement.
With the Duradek Walkable Roof Membrane you will benefit in other areas too.
- No need for pressure treated lumbers leaching into the environment.
- There is a huge weight savings benefiting the structural requirements and reduction energy consumption to transport as compared to an EPDM membrane with concrete pavers.
- PVC's one-step application and longevity compare favorably to the multiple application and reapplication requirements of liquid-applied systems, saving many trips to the job, which in turn consumes less energy
Our membrane is your Green choice when it comes to Outdoor Waterproof Flooring.
Architects and designers, concerned about LEED? Duradek products can be considered for LEED points.

Customer Testimonials
14 years ago when building my home in South Jordan, Utah, I was looking for a product to cover two second-floor outside decks. I found the Duradek product through a building magazine and convinced my general to use it. The alternatives were expensive and had short life spans of 5 to 8 years in Utah’s demanding climates. It has now been almost 14 years and the product has worn like iron with some color fading but no tears, rips or worn down spots and it still fends off the snow and rain like it did when it was originally installed. I would recommend it to anyone looking to cover outside decking for a finished look that holds up to the Utah climate changes.
