Can I install Duradek on my own? No. Due
to the nature of the product, Duradek can
only be installed by our fully-trained
applicators. They are trained in
waterproofing techniques and building codes
to ensure you are getting the best quality
installation available. For this reason we
are able to offer the industry's best
warranty.
How do you clean Duradek?
It is best to clean your Duradek surface
at least 4 times a year to maintain its
appearance. For regular cleaning, use hot
water with a mild soap and scrub it with a
soft bristle brush. We offer a
specially-formulated Duradek cleaner that
should generally be used for your spring
cleaning. The 1-litre cleaner is free for
customers of new installations, and
replacement bottles can be purchased at a
low-cost. For more difficult stains you can
dilute some household cleaner. Be sure not
to let any chemicals sit on the vinyl
surface for a long period of time and rinse
well with fresh water.
Can I put a deicer on Duradek in the
winter?
Yes. Rock Salt, Kitty Litter and various
other snow-melting chemicals can be used on
your Duradek surface. We do caution,
however, that you clean the surface
thoroughly with soap and water and flushed
clear prior to letting the heat of the
spring sun 'bake' any chemical into the
surface.
How much does Duradek cost?
There are a number of different
thicknesses, patterns and textures to chose
from. You should contact Golden Gate
Enterprises for an estimate on your deck.
Due to factors like plywood condition,
exterior wall coverings, doorways, and
existing railings, it is not possible for us
to provide a "ball park" figure over the
phone. We will arrange to visit with you at
a convenient time, measure and inspect your
existing application, and provide a written
quote free-of-charge.
How long will my Duradek deck last?
With proper care and cleaning your
Duradek deck could last up to 15-20 years.
We offer a 5-year warranty on the
waterproofing of our products, and a 2-year
warranty on the appearance. Contact us for
more details regarding warranties. |
