At Chase Construction North West Inc., we pride ourselves on partnering with the best in the industry to provide top-notch construction solutions to our clients. One of our key partners is DecTec®, a company renowned for its innovative waterproofing and roofing solutions. For over 35 years, DecTec has been a leader in the field, offering products that ensure durability and safety for decks, balconies, walkways, and other exterior surfaces. This blog will delve into the unique benefits and applications of DecTec products, demonstrating why they are an excellent choice for your next project.

The Unique and Proven Benefits of DecTec Products

DecTec products stand out in the market due to their unique features and proven benefits. Here’s a detailed look at what makes them exceptional:

Impervious Water Barrier

One of the primary benefits of DecTec products is their superior waterproofing capability. Each product incorporates an impervious water barrier, achieved through a robust adhesive that strongly welds DecTec’s membrane directly onto the deck substrate. The membrane roll stock is then heat-welded together, creating a fully waterproof seam that is stronger than the membrane itself. This process ensures that water intrusion is no longer a concern, providing long-lasting protection for your surfaces.

Fire Resistance

DecTec products are not just waterproof; they are also fire-resistant. The DecTec Guardian, for instance, is the only deck membrane in the industry to achieve a Class C fire rating when directly adhered to 5/8” T&G plywood. This remarkable fire resistance is achieved through unique fiberglass reinforcement and an exclusive spread coat process. In practical terms, this means that in the event of a fire, DecTec membranes can self-extinguish once the flame source is removed, thanks to the natural properties of the polymers used. This significantly enhances safety, especially compared to lesser-quality membranes that continue to burn due to the use of inexpensive fillers.

Cool Touch Technology

DecTec has also addressed the issue of surface temperature during hot summer months. Their foot traffic products incorporate a cool feel technology that keeps the surface cool to the touch, making it comfortable to walk on even during the peak of summer. This feature is particularly beneficial for residential and commercial spaces that experience high foot traffic, offering comfort and safety without the need for additional protective measures.

Warranty and Peace of Mind

When you choose DecTec products, you are not just buying a membrane; you are investing in peace of mind. DecTec offers substantial warranties, with options for 10 and 25-year limited membrane warranties. This commitment to quality and durability ensures that your investment is protected, and you can have confidence in the longevity and performance of the product.

Applications of DecTec Products

DecTec products are versatile and suitable for a variety of applications. Here are some common uses:

Decks and Balconies

DecTec membranes are ideal for decks and balconies, providing a durable and waterproof surface that can withstand various weather conditions. The seamless installation ensures that there are no weak points where water can penetrate, protecting the underlying structure from damage.

Walkways

For commercial properties, walkways need to be both durable and safe. DecTec’s cool touch technology ensures that walkways remain comfortable to walk on, while the waterproof and fire-resistant properties offer added safety and longevity.

Rooftop Patios

Rooftop patios are becoming increasingly popular in urban environments. DecTec membranes provide an excellent solution for these spaces, offering a combination of durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal.

Pool Surrounds

The areas surrounding pools require a waterproof and slip-resistant surface. DecTec products are perfect for this application, ensuring that water does not seep through and cause damage, while also providing a safe surface for walking.
