Vinyl Patio Decking Roof Systems

What’s a Vinyl Deck Membrane?

Vinyl roofing membranes are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). They’re made as rolled stock and have polyester to help them stick to a base. When two or more PVC sheets are needed, installers heat-weld a watertight seam to prevent decks and patios from leaks.

At Watertite Roofing, we take a different approach. We usually recommend the Tufdek and DeckRite vinyl deck membranes. The vinyl sheets are factory cut to the length of your deck or patio. This reduces the instances of installation errors that could lead to leaks. Here are the pros and cons of vinyl deck membrane.

Get a Functional and Waterproof Flat Roof Vinyl Deck

Do you have a flat roof area that could be more than just a surface above your residential or commercial property? These spaces can serve as valuable extensions of living or commercial areas. Whether it’s a restaurant rooftop patio, a townhouse terrace, or a shared community deck, more urban projects are turning their roof systems into pedestrian-friendly areas.

The challenge is that most traditional flat roofing systems are not designed for heavy foot traffic. Adding wood platforms, outdoor carpeting, or protective coatings may offer a temporary solution, but these materials quickly wear down under constant use and exposure to harsh weather conditions, like the sunny summers and freezing winters in Ontario.

Vinyl deck membranes provide a long-term solution by combining waterproofing and durability in a single system. Most vinyl roofing membranes are made from reinforced PVC. Thus, these flat roof patios and deck roofing systems can withstand both everyday use and harsh Ontario weather elements without peeling, chipping, or delaminating.

Unlike coatings that require frequent reapplication, a vinyl roofing membrane can remain strong for years. This ensures your flat roof deck or patio stays dry, waterproof, and well-protected from water-related damage.

Another advantage of vinyl decking is safety. The material is manufactured with slip-resistant textures that help reduce the risk of slip-related accidents, even during rain or snowfall. Vinyl decking roofing systems are tested for a high static coefficient of friction. Therefore, most walkable PVC roofing membranes outperform wood and concrete surfaces that often become slippery when wet.
