Keep the wood look but reduce the upkeep.


Why others fail
What is more important, Waterproof? or Appearance?
When they took a look at what the neighbors were going through they realized how serious a little water intrusion can be. The neighbors deck had been done in a very similar product that was being considered here.

Last a very long time
Easy to clean
Easy to clean
Repairable
No ongoing maintenance programs
So many color choices you can match any color scheme
Below you can see a great example of taking the time to do it right. The sheet by the door was short about an inch. Rather than spreading that inch out along the several sheets in that area they simple cut a piece to fit and glued and screwed it in place.

MBL - From oh so bad to WOW!
(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.

MBL makes it look so good
From leaking problem to added value
From redwood hastle to relaxing beauty
Here the home owner decieded enough money was being wasted yearly and opted for a solution to the problem. Rather than building the cheapest deck avalable and then spending money on it annually they called on Duradek's waterproof walkable roofing membrane, installed by the trained staff at Great Western Roofing.
The damaged wood planks and rail were removed and simple plywood was glued and screwed right to the joist. A littel filler was used to provide a very smooth surface, just like a floor.
Duradek's Herritage Sienna was used and this costly little deck was transformed into this wonderful deck. Oh yeah the home owner will still need to follow the maintenance program; Wash it off! That's it no more yearly work just hose it off and enjoy.
This is an example of how Duradek done initailly reduces your long term expense and is truly the best value. This was taken three years after the deck was waterproofed. The plywood and joists look like new. There is no need for pressure treated wood to be used because the wood is protected from the environment.
