Why Fiberglass

Residential sundecks in Vancouver are constructed from wood. When exposed to the adverse weather conditions, decks’ surface and bearing structure can deteriorate and require costly repair. Fortunately, quality of sundecks can be achieved with the waterproof, seamless, and durable fiberglass membrane application.

Fibre-reinforced glass, commonly known as fiberglass, is a composite material used often on sundecks, roofs, walkways, door surrounds, bathtubs, boats, and water storage tubs. History of fiberglass use on sundecks for more than a half of century proves outstanding track record. Homeowners often demand fiberglass membrane when rebuilding their sundeck, because of their positive experience in the past with the quality.

Fiberglass membrane has a number of advantages compare to vinyl membrane. Some of them are friendly environmental impact, great appearance, seamless surface and longevity.

Any type of seam on the deck surface makes a vinyl membrane vulnerable for leaks over time. Leaky seams are concerning homeowners, because repairs require replacing the entire surface.

Fortunately, properly installed fiberglass has no seams and provides no opportunity for water to seep through.

Additional feature of the fiberglass on sundecks, is high durability and resistant to abrasion, UV, and discoloration. Surface of the fiberglass does not require special maintenance beyond simple cleaning with all-purpose detergent. Additionally, aged fiberglass can be restored and recoated at a low cost to its original quality.
