The Tufdek Story: North America’s Only Manufacturer-Direct Vinyl Decking System
For over two decades, Tufdek has been driven by one unwavering mission: engineering the strongest, most reliable vinyl decking system in the world. What began as a commitment to quality has evolved into something unprecedented in our industry. Our story entered an exciting new chapter in April 2025 when we joined the CGT (Canadian General Tower) family a partnership that fundamentally transformed the vinyl decking landscape in North America.
What Makes Tufdek Unique?
This partnership combines our specialized vinyl decking expertise with CGT’s more than 150 years of polymer engineering excellence and global manufacturing capabilities. The result? Tufdek is now the only company in North America that both manufactures and directly sells vinyl decking products through our network of Authorized Dealers.
This vertical integration isn’t just a business advantage, it’s a game changer for homeowners, contractors, and architects who demand:
- Unmatched quality control at every stage of production
- Continuous innovation driven by direct customer feedback
- Superior customer service backed by manufacturing expertise
- Accountability from factory floor to finished deck
