FAQ.
What is Eurodek?
Eurodek is a PVC membrane flooring for use on deck and roof deck surfaces exposed to pedestrian traffic. Eurodek is available in a number of different colors and patterns and creates a 100% waterproof deck surface.
How is Eurodek Installed?
Eurodek is fully adhered to a smooth substrate using Eurodek adhesives. Any joints in the membrane are overlapped by 1 inch and fully heat welded together to create a completely waterproof finish. The perimeters of the deck are then wrapped down over the outside edges, and wrapped up the inside walls and mechanically fastened. See our ‘Installation’ page for more details.
What is Eurodek Installed Over?
Eurodek recommends substrates of ‘Plywood’ or ‘Concrete’. Eurodek creates a waterproof surface so the substrate should have a built- in slope to drain moisture away from the building. Eurodek should not be installed over top of pressure treated plywood as the treatment chemicals can stain the Eurodek membrane.
How Long will Eurodek Last?
A Eurodek Vinyl Deck surface could last up to 15-25 years depending upon the application, exposure and care of the deck.
How long is the Warranty?
Eurodek products are covered by a written ‘Warranty’ of 5 or 15 years depending upon the specific product.
How Much Does Eurodek Cost?
Typically, Eurodek is priced by the square foot, as an installed product. There are many variables that effect pricing such as product thickness or pattern, job size, and job specific details.
