Installation
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.
