Duradek IS Green
Yes, Vinyl IS Green
Aside from having
No Deck or Roof (which uses NO products, consumes
NO energy, and creates NO landfill waste or need to recycle), Duradek
is your GREEN choice for Outdoor Waterproof Flooring.
When compared
to products that perform the SAME function, consider the following:
- PVC's one
step application and longevity compares favorably to the multiple
application and reapplication requirements of liquid-applied systems,
saving many trips to the job, which
in turn consumes less energy.
- There is
a huge weight savings benefiting the
structural requirements and the energy consumption to transport
as compared to an EPDM membrane with concrete pavers.
- And when
compared to pressure treated wood, there
are no chemicals leaching into the environment and likely double
the life expectancy.
As a waterproof
roof or deck, compared to alternatives, DURADEK
IS THE GREENER CHOICE!
