Tuff-Clad PVC Metal Flashing for Decking

Have you thought to the type of metal flashing you’ll need to finish your vinyl deck? Tufdek vinyl deck membranes are designed to waterproof your deck, but what about the other components used in the waterproofing system?

When you purchase Tufdek vinyl decking for your next deck waterproofing project, remember that Tuff-Clad Metal Deck Flashing products provide permanent, waterproof deck edge protection that will last as long as your Tufdek vinyl membrane. Made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) these Tuff-Clad laminated metal flashing products for decks are exclusive to Tufdek. Just one of many high performing components in our Tufdek waterproof vinyl decking system.

How Our Tufdek Metal Flashing Was Developed

When developing the Tufdek waterproofing system, we wanted something beyond the standard plastic edge clip, which has been a prolific failed detail throughout the history of our industry. The majority of call-backs and water ingress occurs when the plastic edge clip falls off, and the vinyl deck membrane is released from the edge. These plastic clips were never designed to last the extended 15-year lifespan of our high quality Tufdek vinyl decking.

At Tufdek, we researched the waterproofing details used in PVC roofing and discovered that laminated PVC metal flashing products were commonly used for edge terminations and other detail work. To complete our Tufdek waterproofing system, we then created Tuff-Clad PVC Coated Metal Deck Flashings. We used our own proprietary 21 mil PVC film and had it custom milled and then factory laminated to a 24 gauge, G90 galvanized metal.
