If I had this view you would find me on the deck,
As you will see throughout this article this is a very large project with two 1000+ sq ft decks. It was thought that the upper deck had some water issues. They were right! This had a rubber mat of some type laid on top of plywood and then was covered with outdoor carpeting (astro turf). Not even close to waterproof but it looks good for a year or so while the water is recking havoc below.
This is one of the support columns for the upper deck and the damages are obvious. In fact there was so much damage that by the time it was all discovered the lower deck would have to be replaced as well. There was a lot of bad news for the home owner to handle, the good news was the contractor had the solution as well. MBL does a lot of decks and understands there really is only one option when you want a waterproof system that will last for decades with no on going maintenance program other then washing it off.
Shane and the gang went to work repairing and replacing the water damaged substrate and turning these decks in to outstanding outdoor entertainment areas. Once the Duradek's Heritage Sienna was fully adhered to the substrate it was in use and ready for action.
It can be mind boggling to some people; that 60 mil membrane is all there is? Doesn't it need to be thicker or more of it? Shouldn't there be more layers? Does it really last? Duradek has been doing this for more than 37 years. All of that history and experience are what makes up the membrane, almost 4 decades! Of the work done in the Salt Lake Valley a very large percentage is done over living space where roofing requirements have to be met. That's where you separate the traffic coatings from true roofing products.
When you have this large an area waterproofing should be the number one thing on your mind. To have a failure would be very expensive. Second thing I would like is something that is going to be low maintenance, long lasting and has an attractive look to it.
