Proper
installation of a vinyl membrane is critical to protecting
the home's building envelope from water penetration. Human
error is always possible which is why G.D.S. has spent 30 years
developing a vinyl decking system which removes many of the critical
steps once done "on-site" and now supplies
pre-fabricated solutions. After
viewing the key installation highlights below, please look at the
section titled “V-Kote
Tek” for an in depth analysis of various critical areas and
how we recommend they are addressed.
The core knowledge for properly
installing a DEC-K-ING vinyl membrane is
fairly straight forward. Most
contractors with experience in the deck or roofing industry find
installing our products relatively easy and begin work after
watching a short installation dvd. Here
are some of the highlights:
Fill
imperfections with
DEC-K-ING floor patch and grind smooth
Lay the
vinyl out on the deck and
inspect
Apply
Latex on the substrate, Contact on both substrate and back of
vinyl
Permanently seal
the seams and deck details with a hot air gun
