Duradek is a PVC Trafficable Non-Slip membrane used for waterproofing mainly on decks, balconies and flat roofs (exterior use). The Duradek system is pre-engineered under strict quality control. It offers many advantages over the more traditional liquid applied systems. Often entrance ways and walkways on commercial buildings can not be closed, even for a day for renovation work to take place. Lengthy shut downs could mean loss of revenue and cause it to be an inconvenience. The Duradek PVC can be applied and used immediately, so there is no need for lengthy shut downs to occur.
By using Duradek, it means that once on the job site, there is no mixing, mess or smell. These could occur when using other waterproofing methods, such as liquid membranes. Once the substrate is prepared, the PVC sheets are rolled out, glued down and fastened at the perimeter. The sheets are welded together using a hot air welder, causing a completely waterproof system.

Duradek can be installed in almost any weather conditions, and even over some types of existing coatings, where as liquid systems often need ideal weather conditions as well as a well prepared subsurface in order to deliver a successful finished job. Even with heavy foot traffic and the most severe weather conditions, the Duradek membranes will outlast the “painted on” surfaces by years. They will not peel, chip, delaminate or crack, even on high use walkways.
