Duradek :: Waterproof Vinyl Sheet Systems 

Duradek has been in the deck and balcony waterproofing industry since 1974. Duradek pioneered the use of PVC membranes as an outdoor walking surface and were the first to have an approved single ply 'walk on' roof membrane. Duradek membranes are the primary roofing approved materials on tens of thousands of roof decks throughout North America. From large condominium and townhouse complexes to single family homes, Duradek is the choice of Architects, Builders, Property Managers and Homeowners who appreciate Duradek's attention to detail.
 
Duradek 
 
Duradek's factory engineered products and professional installation techniques have set new standards for waterproofing that works. Duradek products are only installed by trained, professional applicators to ensure the job is done right, the first time.
 
Duradek is the source for time-tested and proven materials, details and installation techniques for any waterproof sundeck, rooftop deck or balcony.
Duradek Ultra - Duradek is the original sheet vinyl designed to waterproof flat decks and roofs. Duradek is textured to provide slip-resistant walking surfaces and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns to provide a contemporary, clean look previously unavailable in the outdoor waterproof flooring industry. Installed in one easy step and in almost any weather condition, Duradek can be used immediately. Duradek provides the waterproofing and the walking surface in one simple solution.
 
Tiledek
Duradek Ultra Tiledek - Duradek Ultra Tiledek is identical to Duradek Ultra other than a fabric embedded top layer that creates a surface to which the tile bonding thinset will securely adhere. Installed with the same waterproofing details and techniques as Duradek,  Tiledek is the waterproofing roofing membrane under a tile, slate or porcelain finished surface. In addition to protecting the surface below, Tiledek also acts as a crack isolation barrier to bridge small cracks in the substrate preventing those cracks from transferring through to the tile.
 
Plazadek
Duradek Ultra Plazadek - Duradek Ultra Plazadek is designed specifically for the purpose of waterproofing flat deck or roofs which are intended to have pavers, stamped concrete or a wood/synthetic wood duckboard system placed overtop for pedestrian traffic.  Plazadek is identical in construction to Duradek Ultra, installed with the same waterproofing techniques, by the same network of trained applicators and performs the same function of protecting the living space below.
 
Durarail
Durarail - Durarail is a powder coated aluminum railing and fencing system manufactured by Duradek.
Aluminum is known for its strength and non-corrosive qualities making it the perfect building material for deck railings. Durarail is "Powder Coated Tough" using "Super Durable TGIC" powder, available in 8 standard and over 180 custom colors. The Durarail system provides a maintenance free, durable and attractive finish that meets AAMA 2604 specifications and as an approved applicator for Newlar paint, Durarail also meets the AAMA 2605 specifications. Durarail is available in many styles, from pickets to view-through glass, and is easily customized to satisfy any requirement.
 
Durarail railing systems have been tested to the rigorous building codes in both the US and Canada.  Additional engineering is available to satisfy even the toughest of code jurisdictions.
A Durarail railing or fencing system is a safe, strong, and attractive addition to any outdoor living space.
 
Choose the Right Footing for the Job
 
Safety and liability are issues that face all of us in the construction industry every day. Improper installation of footings, especially pier applications, as well as recent deck failures have prompted changes in codes across North America. Compliance with codes is becoming increasingly important. Not only are building codes becoming more stringent and clearer about what is approved, every day they become more rigorously enforced. Check the codes in your area to ensure you use the right sized footing for the job - and reduce your liability.
 
Bigfoot Systems

Bigfoot Systems® reduce labor costs by as much as 90%. Bigfoot can be installed in a single day, which saves time, money and aggravation.

Burke Turf
For nearly nine decades, BCI Burke has been designing, engineering and building only the highest quality playground, recreation and park equipment.  One of BCI Burke's newest products is Burke Turf™, which is the perfect playground surfacing option for your park, recreation or school playground.

BCI Burke

BCI Burke combines rugged durability with remarkable softness and beauty, with 100% Polyethylene fibers and a thatch layer to simulate natural grass. It's easy on the environment (100% recyclable) and has the look of a fine blade fescue or blue grass lawn. But thanks to the latest turf technology, it's tough enough for high-use sports and playground areas as well. In short, it's the perfect green playground surfacing option!
 
But its beauty is far more than skin deep. Below the playground surface you'll find a soft infill that is completely anti-microbial, to provide a lasting, healthy play environment. A shock and drainage pad that provides shock absorption and impact protection from falls - the most common source of serious playground injuries. Burke Turf conforms to the latest CPSC, ASTM, and ADAAG standards for impact attenuation and accessibility.
 
BCI Burke offers a 9-year limited product warranty on Burke Turf from the date of purchase. The product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship, resulting in premature wear or color loss. For more information about Burke Turf and the product warranty please contact your local Burke representative at 1-800-266-1250 or visit
