How Long Will Duradek Last?

The dream of a beautiful outdoor space goes hand in hand with a desire for longevity. When it comes to Duradek vinyl decking, peace of mind is built right in. Here's a closer look at how long you can expect your Duradek deck to thrive:

The Duradek Durability Promise:

Duradek boasts an impressive lifespan, lasting a remarkable  15-25+ years in Alberta's demanding climate.  This exceptional durability translates to a deck that endures the elements and provides lasting enjoyment for years to come.

Factors Influencing Longevity:

While 15-25 years is a fantastic benchmark, several factors can influence your Duradek deck's lifespan:

• Foot Traffic: High foot traffic areas might experience slightly more wear compared to less frequented zones.
• Weather: Extreme weather conditions can play a role. However, Duradek's design is built to withstand harsh sun, rain, snow, and Alberta's signature temperature swings.
• Care and Maintenance: Regular cleaning with a Duradek-approved cleaner helps maintain the deck's beauty and performance. Your local Duradek installer can advise on the perfect cleaning products for your deck.
• Sun Exposure: Direct and prolonged sun exposure can affect any outdoor surface over time. Strategic placement of shade elements can help minimize this impact.

Maximizing Your Duradek Deck's Lifespan:

Here are some simple but effective ways to extend the life of your Duradek deck:

• Cleaning Routine: Regular cleaning with a Duradek cleaner removes dirt, debris, and prevents build-up that can affect the surface.
• Heavy Impacts: Avoid dropping heavy objects that could cause indentations.
• Pet Care: Clean up after pets promptly to prevent stains or odors.
• Barbecue Basics: Use a protective mat under your barbecue to prevent heat damage.
• Keep it Cool: Avoid discarding hot items like cigarette butts directly on the deck surface.
• Cutting Caution: Avoid using sharp objects directly on the deck surface to prevent damaging the membrane.

A Deck Built to Last

By following these simple tips and investing in professional installation, you can ensure your Duradek deck becomes a cherished part of your outdoor living space for years to come.  Its exceptional durability, coupled with minimal maintenance needs, makes Duradek the perfect choice for homeowners seeking a long-lasting and beautiful outdoor retreat.
