There are many rooftop deck materials available on the market, but there are even more rooftop deck ideas. What kind of rooftop deck design do you want? Is there enough space for an outdoor dining set with complimentary weather-resistant cushions, where family and friends can eat and socialize? Maybe you want sofas and a coffee table flanked by your favorite sculptures.
The style of your rooftop design guides your choice of deck materials. Materials such as pressure-treated wood, cedar or a composite are generally used, but have you considered Tufdek vinyl flooring? It might just be the best rooftop deck flooring for your space. Tufdek is a waterproof vinyl decking material with a fifteen-year life expectancy, giving you a quality deck that requires
minimal maintenance. There are several designs and colors to choose from for your ideal outdoor space, but what styles are available, and why would Tufdek be beneficial?
Tufdek has a variety of vinyl decking designs to suit any exterior design requirement. It takes years of testing to develop and finalize a new vinyl decking pattern before it is added to the Tufdek color pallet. Which pattern and color will you choose to elevate your outdoor space? You can select from the Tufdek Designer Series, which includes most wood patterns or the Tufdek Supreme Series with its Cool-Step™ technology, marble, and other materials options.

Tufdek Supreme Series
According to brand owners Tuff Industries, Tufdek is the STRONGEST vinyl decking on the market. They continually subject it to extensive
tests and independent audits to improve Tufdek’s quality and conform to various national and international roofing standards throughout North America. Although Tufdek is an excellent product, there are materials it cannot be installed on, including concrete, treated lumber, bitumen and tar-based products. It can, however, be installed on fir T&G plywood.
You might wonder about the Cool-Step technology mentioned above. Tufdek vinyl flooring is designed for outdoor use and is continuously exposed to the elements, especially the sun. The vinyl decking designs with Cool-Step have a higher solar reflectivity and will stay cool even on the hottest days. This reflectivity is also beneficial to the rest of the house, as your roof will be cooler, thus cutting down on air conditioning use. What other benefits does Tufdek have when used on roof decks?
To further optimal performance, durability and longevity, the printed surface of Tufdek is sealed with a proprietary aqueous-based hydrophobic polycarbonate top finish. The hydrophobic finish repels water by creating water droplets that minimize surface contact, making Tufdek waterproof. Exposure to snow, rain, hail, the sun and other elements causes damage to exposed decks over the long term. Installing Tufdek outdoor vinyl waterproof flooring protects the underlying structure while creating beautiful, usable outdoor living spaces.
