Yes, vinyl IS Green! - PVC: A Green Building Product

One of the main considerations for the sustainability of a walkable roof deck membrane system is how easy it will be replaced in the future. Ease of replacement means there is less materials waste and energy consumed when it comes time to repair or replace a decking system. When compared to products that perform the same function, consider the following:

  • Duradek's one-step application and longevity compare favorably to the multiple application and reapplication requirements of liquid-applied systems, saving many trips to the job, which in turn consumes less energy.
  • There is a huge weight savings benefiting the structural requirements and the energy consumption to transport as compared to an EPDM membrane with concrete pavers.
  • When compared to pressure treated wood, there are no chemicals leaching into the environment and likely double the life expectancy.

As a waterproof solution for roofs or decks, compared to alternatives, DURADEK IS THE GREENER CHOICE.
