Vinyl Decking

Waterproof, durable deck surfaces that look great for years.

Vinyl Decking: The Smart Choice for Alberta

Traditional wood decking in Alberta faces a constant battle against the elements. Moisture, UV exposure, and extreme temperature swings cause wood to crack, warp, splinter, and rot — often within just a few years. Vinyl deck membranes solve these problems by providing a completely waterproof, slip-resistant walking surface that protects the structure beneath while looking beautiful season after season.

Blueline Exteriors installs premium vinyl decking membranes from leading manufacturers like Duradek. These PVC-based membranes are heat-welded at the seams to create a watertight barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the plywood or joists below. The result is a deck that stays dry, safe, and attractive for 15 to 20 years or more with minimal maintenance.

Vinyl decking is ideal for elevated decks, balconies, rooftop patios, and any deck surface where waterproofing matters. It's available in a wide range of colours and patterns, including wood-grain finishes that provide the look of natural wood without the upkeep.

  • UV-stable colours that resist fading
  • No annual staining, sealing, or painting required
  • Comfortable underfoot — stays cooler than composite or PVC boards
  • Available in dozens of colours and patterns including wood-grain finishes
  • 15 to 20+ year lifespan with proper installation

Frequently Asked Questions

How does vinyl decking compare to wood or composite?
Vinyl membranes are fully waterproof, unlike wood or composite decking which allow water to pass through to the structure below. Vinyl also requires far less maintenance — no annual staining, sealing, or board replacement. While the upfront cost is comparable to composite, vinyl's waterproof protection and lower lifetime maintenance make it a better value for elevated decks.
Can vinyl decking be installed over an existing deck?
In most cases, yes. If your existing plywood subfloor is in good condition, a vinyl membrane can be applied directly over it. We always inspect the substrate first and will recommend repairs or replacement if needed before installation.
How long does vinyl decking last?
With proper installation and basic care, a quality vinyl deck membrane lasts 15 to 20 years or more. Many installations in our area are still performing beautifully after well over a decade.
What colours and patterns are available?
We offer a wide selection of colours and patterns from Duradek and other premium manufacturers, including solid colours, wood-grain finishes, and stone textures. We'll bring samples to your home so you can see the options in person.
