Shur Deck – The Affordable Housing Solution

The need for space-saving, affordable housing complexes is not diminishing anytime in the near future. In fact, low income, and multi-family apartment complexes are rapidly outnumbering single-family, new construction homes in the United States – a trend that doesn’t seem to be slowing. Part of protecting these huge new investments include going the extra mile to ensure your new endeavor performs to the best of its ability.

Protecting balconies, walkways, decks, rooftops, and stairways from destructive elements can greatly increase the lifespan of your substrate and can save time and money on future damage and potential repairs. Because affordable housing complexes are constructed with a budget in mind, it is important you can attain both quality and cost-effectiveness when choosing waterproofing solutions.

Shur Deck – The Affordable Housing Solution

The Shur Deck Waterproofing System is a multi-layer, cementitious system designed for use over plywood or concrete substrates. This system consists of reinforcing metal lath (when installed over plywood), cementitious filler, and a reinforced flexible latex waterproofing membrane. This waterproofing membrane incorporates an anti-microbial component that inhibits the growth of mold and mildew on the membrane surface and in damp settings – perfect for coastal or rainy environments.

An acrylic, matte topcoat available in 9 opaque colors, finishes the system leaving it protected from harmful UV rays and is chemical resistant. The durable surface allows for regular daily maintenance and won’t degrade with scrubbing or cleaning solutions.

Some great advantages to the system:

• Cost-Effective
• Seamless & monolithic
• Excellent adhesion to plywood substrates
• Will not soften under high temperatures
• Resists degradation from UV, ozone, and weathering
• Outstanding long-term durability and performance
