Tufdek™

Tufdek™ is an extremely durable waterproof decking vinyl. How is decking vinyl relevant in my flat roof construction?

Glad you asked. On commercial, institutional, industrial and on some residential roofs there is a roof access door. And what’s one way for you to utilize this space? By having a rooftop patio. If you own a commercial or residential building having a rooftop patio or space gives your employees or tenants somewhere they can go to relax, watch the sunset or take a smoke break, pending smoking restrictions of course. It increases the living space and overall value of your property as well.

At AM Roofing we offer comprehensive roofing solutions so you don’t have to deal with multiple contractors to get the roof you want. Patios included. We use Tufdek™ for these projects.

About Tufdek™    

Waterproof vinyl made by Tufdek™ in response to an industry trend in products to be either a waterproof or a vinyl decking product, not both. With Tufdek™, you get the benefits of both. Tufdek™ comes in many different styles from marble finishes to industrial aggregate or even wood replicas. Our warranties for Tufdek™ products vary but Tufdek™ waterproof decking has a life expectancy of 20 years, so you will be sure to get your money back in usage.

Tufdek™ comes in a roll and is applied to specially formulated adhesives so although installation is fast and painless we recommend letting us do it. You wont have to worry about any maintenance above and beyond your regular flat roof maintenance as it does not need re-coating or special care after installation.
