Put a New Face on Your Outdoor Space with Tufdek Waterproof Deck Covering

Let’s face it, ugly decks, dated patios, neglected roof decks, etc., are not very enticing – so why not consider doing an “ultimate deck makeover” with a waterproof vinyl membrane? This project can be relatively quick, easy, and affordable, and will leave you with a revitalized vinyl deck, balcony, or patio that you’ll actually want to use. So why is a waterproof vinyl deck covering such a good choice for a deck makeover?

Reason #1: Fast Vinyl Membrane Installation

Installing a vinyl membrane over an existing deck is easier than you think. For one, you don’t need to tear out an existing deck or patio surface, since you’re just covering it. Once the surface is prepared, the new waterproof vinyl deck covering gets rolled over the top, secured, and sealed. Finito! No waiting for stains or sealers to dry, and the installation can be done in many types of weather (as long as you can shelter the deck from rain if it occurs). You could have a brand new outdoor living space (both above and below a sundeck) in just a few hours with a Tufdek deck makeover, imagine!

Reason #2: Instant Appeal

You know when you have rooms in your house painted and they instantly look ten times better! A waterproof vinyl deck covering for your outdoor living space is like that. Since it covers the whole surface, it looks like you have a brand-new deck with a Tufdek deck makeover, without the hassle of tearing it out and building a new one. Besides, Tufdek offers a wide selection of color and pattern choices so your deck can be personalized to compliment your home’s exterior!

Reason #3: Long-Term Waterproof Decking

Much like how a new roof will keep your home cozy and dry, having a new installation of waterproof vinyl decking will likewise keep your deck dry, while at the same time, waterproofing the space under the deck. This might not seem like much, but anytime you increase the waterproofing of your home, including roof deck waterproofing, you’re helping it last longer, which adds to the resale value of your home.

Reason #4:  Ideal Time for Extensions

If your patio or deck is feeling a bit cramped, this is the perfect time to renovate and add an addition. Rather than worrying about everything matching up, you just build it out and cover everything with the same vinyl membrane. Tufdek is a complete deck waterproofing system, and once the deck is resurfaced, all of it will look the same.

Reason #5: Fix Issues

Any major or minor issues with decks and patios can (and should) be fixed prior to the installation of a new vinyl deck covering. Some examples include rotting or loose boards, improper drainage, slope, etc. Small fixes can be made, rather than tearing out or starting again, and then covered with new Tufdek waterproof decking materials.

For example, if you had a wood deck that needed boards replacing, you’d have to install new boards, then sand and stain the entire deck so it matched. That’s a huge job! Besides never having to sand and stain again, with a vinyl deck covering you’d just need to install new boards and then have the vinyl decking installed over the surface.
