Have you ever thought of how some creatures are waterproof?! It is true. Take the tortoise for instance. It not only can swim underwater for ages, but it lives in a watertight home! It’s shell is strong and fully seals it from pesky predators and leakage. This is a great illustration of how a deck coating should work. At Prestige Deck Coating we provide tortoise shell watertight decking services!

Tortoise Shell Watertight!

Ironically, one of our latest jobs was located on a street called Tortoise Shell! How fitting (pun intended) for a watertight waterproofing demonstration!

With a balcony deck situation such as this, you have to be precise.

Flashing installation. Like a tortoise shell, a watertight deck needs all of the cracks and crevices to be covered. We have expert flashing installers. We know that the perimeter needs to be secured in order to prevent seepage.

If you have open sides on your balcony deck, we will install drip edge flashing. As the name implies, it allows water to sheet off the edge of your decking surface.

If your deck is enclose on four sides, like the one above, it calls for diato metal flashing. This fully secures a watertight “shell.” The sloping of the deck sends any excess water into the deck drains.

Crete Decking System. Prestige Deck Coating uses the newest and best in watertight technology in our decking systems. Ours is a 6 level deck repair procedure.
