Walking Decks

Walking decks are extremely popular with single family residential properties, multi-family living communities, commercial properties and industrial buildings. If walking decks are not at ground level or have subterranean parking, typically all substrates must have a type of waterproofing system. These systems should be able to withstand any heavy pedestrian traffic, be waterproof and meet a coefficient of friction requirements. Life Specialty Coatings under the Life Deck and Americrete brands, has several different types of waterproof decking systems.

Recommended Systems:
