Can I Waterproof My Deck if It Has Drains?
March 5, 2021Why Are The Seams So Important on Vinyl Decking Material?
March 12, 2021Concrete is a great decking material. It’s solid and sturdy and typically lasts a long time. However, like most other building materials, concrete can take a beating from the rain. Water damage can cause cracks and fissures to form, often damaging not just the concrete but also the surrounding structure.
Vinyl decking is a great way to waterproof your concrete deck to prevent irritating and expensive damage from occurring. It is possible to install vinyl decking materials yourself as part of a DIY project. However, you run the risk of installing it improperly and causing more problems down the line.
If you’re a contractor or architect looking for the best waterproofing material around, look no further. OnDek Vinyl Worx offers top-quality vinyl for decking with unparalleled waterproofing and simple installation.

Vinyl Decking Material Installation
Contractors install OnDek Vinyl Worx using a specially formulated solvent-based adhesive material. The vinyl covering is applied to the surface of the concrete using this adhesive.
It is often the case that more than one 6’ wide sheet is needed. We use Ultra Seam to connect these sheets to each other. They are overlapped 1” and melted together using heat from a special hot air gun and pressure from a silicone roller. This thermal bond ensures absolute waterproofing. Our vinyl materials over the concrete surface become virtually one continuous piece guaranteed not to leak.
