Resurface an existing wood deck.....
and create a waterproof area below
A lot of wood decks, especially pressure treated softwood decks, begin to look rather weather beaten and somewhat shabby over time. So what can be done to bring them back to their former glory?
Fortunately, there's a quick and easy solution to bring back that warm glow of natural wood without replacing all the boards or using harsh chemical cleaning agents. And that's to simply lay SwiftDeck Decking Tiles directly over the top of the existing deck.
For a typical sized deck, it just an hour or so you'll once again be able to enjoy a beautiful hardwood deck that will look every bit as good as the original deck... a deck that will last for years and years to come, surviving the harshest of weather - rain sun, ice or snow. In fact the Ipe wood used on our SwiftDeck tiles will typically last for up to 40 years or more in exposed conditions, is exceptionally hard and extremely resistant to attack by termites and other insects. And it's so dense that it has been given an "A' fire rating by the NFPA.
With SwiftDeck you have the choice of two different styles of tiles plus a double length tile, so you can design your own unique pattern on your deck. And if you feel like changing the design at any time, simply lift up the tiles and lay them down in another pattern.
For quick and easy deck repairs or deck resurfacing, it's hard to beat the simplicity, time-saving and trouble-free option of using SwiftDeck interlocking deck tiles. As the tiles have locking tabs on all four sides, once they are laid in place, they will not move. There's no nails, screws or any other fixing devices needed. Laying SwiftDeck is a simple DIY job that practically anyone can undertake.
And if you have a raised deck and want to make a waterproof area underneath, there's a very simple solution if you're using SwiftDeck Decking Tiles. Instead of installing the rather more expensive under deck ceiling or roofing systems, simply lay down a continuous EPDM sheet over the top of your existing wood deck, then lay the SwiftDeck tiles over the top of this sheet. (EPDM sheeting can be obtained from specialist suppliers such as Bestmaterials.com or Resource Conservation Technology who can also custom fabricate a single sheet to avoid seams. They can also supply a complete system for under deck waterproofing that includes all required adhesives, sealants etc.
