With its anti-slip top coat it provides maximum slip resistance without being as abrasive as other deck coverings. Vinyl is made up of pvc which allows it to stretch and move with it’s subfloor whereas fiberglass cannot and therefore, begins to crack and seperate from the subfloor causing leaks that down the road could lead to rot and other structural problems.
Vinyl Decks are extremely low-maintenance in fact, with the exception of having to clean them because of regular dirt and grime, the vinyl itself is treated with anti-fungus and uv resistant chemicals to ensure it doesn’t rot and lose its color or pattern.
It can be installed in virtually any weather which means should you need an emergency repair or just decide to replace it in the winter you can feel confident the weather will not affect the final product.With many different colors, patterns, and thickness’ you are guaranteed to find a vinyl product that is right for your deck.
If your deck requires more than one piece of sheet vinyl there is a 3/4″-1″ overlap of the pieces that is then heat welded together providing a 100% waterproof seal. When done properly the overlapping edge will blend in perfectly with the overlapped pattern. Many people feel that because there is a seam the deck is weak or that it will leak which is not the case.Even though they are two seperate pieces when heat welded together they are actually stronger because that area is now twice as thick.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully this has helped you in your decision making.
