DLUXE CONSTRUCTION: Authorized Duradek Installers
DURADECK: The Waterproof Deck Solution
At DLUXE CONSTRUCTION LLC, we are committed to providing our Portland Metro Area clients with the highest quality outdoor living solutions. We are proud to announce that we are now Certified Duradek Installers, bringing the industry’s leading waterproof decking system directly to your home.
What is DURADEK?
Duradek is the original professional-grade, sheet-vinyl waterproofing system designed specifically for decks, balconies, and flat roof decks. Unlike traditional wood or composite decking that requires constant maintenance, Duradek is a high-performance, reinforced PVC membrane. It provides a completely waterproof, slip-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing walking surface in a single-step application. For over 50 years, it has been the gold standard for protecting the building envelope from water damage.
Why Certification Matters
Waterproofing is a specialized trade that requires precision and technical expertise. As a Certified Duradek Installer, DLUXE CONSTRUCTION has undergone rigorous factory training to master the specific techniques required for a flawless installation.
- Warranty Protection: Duradek is only available through authorized dealers. Our certification ensures that your project is backed by Duradek’s industry-leading 15-year waterproof warranty.
- Technical Excellence: We are experts in handling critical details like heat-welded seams, perimeter flashing, and professional water-routing, ensuring that your deck—and the structure beneath it—remains dry for decades.
- Building Code Compliance: Our certified status guarantees that your installation meets and exceeds strict North American building codes (ICC-ES evaluated).
Product Advantages & Key Benefits
Designed to withstand the heavy rainfall and fluctuating temperatures of the Portland Metro Area, Duradek offers unmatched benefits:
- 100% Waterproof & "Dry-Below" Solution: It creates a permanent barrier that protects the wood structure from rot and mold. It’s the perfect solution for second-story decks where you want to keep the space below completely dry for storage or a covered patio.
- Truly Maintenance-Free: Forget about sanding, staining, or resealing every year. Duradek only requires a simple seasonal cleaning with a garden hose to look like new.
- Built-in Safety: The textured surface provides superior slip resistance, making it safer for families and pets, even when wet.
- UV & Mold Resistant: Engineered with UV inhibitors and mold-resistant technology, Duradek maintains its color and integrity despite the elements.
- Immediate Use: Unlike liquid coatings that need days to cure, Duradek can be walked on immediately after installation.
The Portland Advantage: Beyond the Surface
In our local climate, moisture is the number one enemy of any deck. A unique detail often overlooked is that Duradek is "Roof-Grade" certified. This means it doesn't just act as a floor; it acts as a roof. If your deck is situated over a living space (such as a garage or a bedroom), our Duradek system provides the peace of mind that your home’s interior is fully protected while providing a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy.
