There is nothing like the look of tile or slate on an outdoor deck. Unfortunately, the beauty is soon forgotten if water makes its way into the building or substrate through the tile from the deck. Should that happen, it is clear that when the tile was first installed, most of the attention was given to the appearance rather than proper waterproofing. The resulting repairs can be intrusive and expensive – especially when the cost of replacing the tile is considered. Duradek Tiledek for decks and flat roofs is designed to have outdoor porcelain tile or slate installed over top of it with a thinset mortar bond coat. By using Duradek’s Tiledek membrane in your exterior tile assembly, you can avoid waterproofing issues and have your tile deck installed right the first time. Riverview Development Group is a qualified Duradek applicator who provides best-practice assurances of a long-lasting, outdoor tile deck without suffering common failures that result in water infiltration.
