Dec-K-Ing
Vinyl Membrane
Manufactured to last.
Spend Time Enjoying, Not Maintaining Your Deck
Keeping your deck clean should be your only concern. All of our DEC-K-ING vinyl membranes are designed to last well beyond a decade and require zero maintenance – leaving you with more time to enjoy your rooftop patio or sundeck.
Completely impermeable, your vinyl deck will never leak, rot or breakdown as a result of weather or temperature. Once installed, your deck will look great no matter the season.
Durable
Manufactured with Roofseal 60 mil vinyl to ensure durability with extreme use.
Maintenance-Free
PVC coating on all pieces to ensure maintenance-free products – yearly upkeep not required.
Slip Resistant
Features a slip-resistant embossed treatment for greater traction in all weather.
Features
Multi-Directional Expansion
Our DEC-K-ING vinyl membrane provides the strength to adjust to changing temperatures and conditions. As temperature increases or decreases, our vinyl decking will move with the substrate (expanding or contracting as needed) thanks to the multi-directional polyester scrim that makes up the middle layer of the membrane.
Built-In Salt Inhibitors
The top layer of our vinyl membrane is manufactured with salt inhibitors. Our salt inhibitors protect installs by the sea. While in areas of colder climates, it also allows you to use salt to melt snow on your sundeck or DEC-K-ING walkway without damaging the vinyl.
UV Protection
Our UV inhibitors have proven to be extremely successful over the last 3+ decades. Installations going back 20 years in New Zealand, where UV is a major issues, continue to last to this day.
In fact, testing company, Branz Appraisal NZ acquired a piece of our vinyl used on a New Mexico job 10 years after installation to prove that our vinyl won’t breakdown in high UV environments.
Engineered For Strength
Our DEC-K-ING vinyl membrane is an approved walkable surface, extremely strong and engineered to handle high use areas. Site visits on installs in high traffic areas, going back 20 years, have proven that our vinyl membranes hold up extremely well with only minor expected wear.
In fact, the Student Union Rooftop Patio at UC Davis, used by thousands of students daily and installed in 2005, still looks great.

Choose from our new exciting wood-plank vinyl prints, vinyl with a stone aggregate appearance or timeless designs that are aesthetically appealing. Visit our Colors & Prints page to see our complete selection and learn tips on selecting the best print for your home.
All of our vinyl membranes go through a process known as embossing. During manufacturing the vinyl is heated until soft and pressed against an engraving roller. The result is a permanent textured surface that leads to enhanced traction, even when the membrane is wet.
The sun can be extremely damaging exterior to building products. DEC-K-ING membranes are carefully manufactured with UV inhibitors. This ensures your vinyl deck won't crack and disintegrate after long exposure to the sun's harmful rays. The UV inhibitors also help prolong the look of your vinyl over many years.
The top layer of vinyl averages 28-30 mils (Roofseal) of thickness and is the first line of defence against water migration. DEC-K-ING is manufactured with the highest quality resins, stabilizers and plasticizers resulting in a stable waterproofing membrane. Our soft and pliable sheet vinyl easily flexes to go up walls, around corners and into PVC coated deck drains and scuppers making it easy to cover the critical areas where water migration often occurs.
Our woven polyester mesh contains anti-wicking properties. If the vinyl is damaged water will not migrate into the membrane and instead is pushed to the outside.
As the seasons and temperature change, a plywood deck will expand and contract. The DEC-K-ING multi-directional polyester mesh allows the vinyl to expand upwards of 115% while maintaining its form and bond to the substrate.
The DEC-K-ING woven polyester mesh produces a tensile strength of 278 lbs. This ensures your vinyl deck will never tear or be damaged due to rapidly changing temperatures and conditions.
The bottom layer of the DEC-K-ING membrane also averages 28-30 mils of thickness (Roofseal). The high quality PVC bottom layer serves a very important role in the DEC-K-ING waterproofing system. Many of DEC-K-ING'S accessories including drip edge flashing, drains and scuppers are coated with vinyl made at the same factory. This allows the bottom layer to easily fuse to the accessories instead of having to rely on glues or caulking. See the V-Kote Tek section for more info.
