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
Our second floor deck was made from redwood and though we used it often the annual staining, repair and splinters finally drove us to look for a low maintenance solution. We found the Duradek product to be a great long term choice that lets us relax and enjoy the deck. An additional benefit came when we realized that this keeps the water from dripping underneath too, now our hot tub stays clean and we don't get cold water or snow on us in the winter!
