Waterproof Vinyl Decking, Built for Abbotsford
Abbotsford knows what water can do — open farmland, hot exposed summers, and the wet valley winters that the 2021 floods made unforgettable. Valordek is a continuous, fully sealed waterproof vinyl membrane tested from -40°C to 80°C. Made nearby in Surrey by 25-year waterproofing pros.
Open sky, then a wet valley winter
Abbotsford's farmland sits open to the sky — full sun all summer, then a long wet winter on low, flood-prone ground. A deck here has to handle both extremes.
Full-sun exposure
Unlike the treed lots elsewhere in the valley, Abbotsford's open farm and suburban properties bake in unshaded sun all summer. That UV greys wood and fades stain fast. UV-stable vinyl holds its colour for the life of the deck.
Wet valley winters
Abbotsford takes the full Fraser Valley soak through winter. Any deck with seams, board gaps, or fastener holes lets that water in. A continuous membrane seals the surface completely.
Low, flood-prone ground
The 2021 floods were a hard reminder of how much water moves through this valley. High water tables and damp ground keep humidity up year-round — sealing the deck surface stops moisture finding its way in from above.
Hot summers
Inland Abbotsford summers push into the 30s. Heat warps boards and softens lesser surfaces; Valordek is tested to 80°C and stays dimensionally stable through the hottest stretch.
Two membranes. Built for two jobs.
Valordek bonds directly to your substrate and heat-welds into one continuous waterproof surface. No board gaps, no fasteners through the surface, nothing for meltwater to find.
68mil Fuzzy-Back
The standard for residential balconies and decks over living space. Contact-adhered with heat-welded seams for a fully sealed, walkable waterproof surface.
60mil Smooth-Back
Built for rooftop and amenity decks. PVC flashing on open decks plus heat-welded seams. Class A & C fire rated and Intertek tested.
Serving Abbotsford and the central Fraser Valley
Abbotsford is the valley's biggest city and its agricultural heart — berry farms and dairy across Sumas Prairie and Matsqui, established neighbourhoods around the historic centre and Clearbrook, and steady new growth in Auguston and on Sumas Mountain. Farm homes, suburban houses, and a growing number of townhomes all share big, sun-exposed outdoor spaces that need to hold up through hot summers and wet winters alike.
The National Building Code treats any deck or balcony over occupied space as a roof — it has to be waterproofed to CGSB 37.54 standards, not just surfaced. Valordek's membranes carry CCMC and Intertek certification confirming they meet code 37.54.95.
Why wood and coatings fail here first
Abbotsford works a deck from both ends: open-sky summer sun greys and dries the wood, then the wet winter swells it back and feeds rot. Coatings chalk under the UV and lift once water gets beneath them. A continuous heat-welded vinyl membrane doesn't fade, doesn't absorb water, and has no gaps, fasteners, or seams to fail — one sealed, colour-stable sheet.
Built for big farm-property decks
Large rural decks and covered patios have long runs and lots of joints in board or coated systems — each a leak risk. Valordek heat-welds into one continuous sheet across the whole span, with the 68mil Fuzzy-Back for open sundecks and the 60mil Smooth-Back where a deck sits over a suite, shop, or carport.
Installing around the seasons
Installation needs a dry substrate above 10°C. Abbotsford's hot, dry mid-summer is prime; shoulder-season work is scheduled around clear spells.

Will it fade on a sun-exposed Abbotsford deck?
No. Valordek vinyl is UV-stable, engineered to hold its colour through full-sun exposure — the open-sky conditions on Abbotsford's farm and suburban lots. That's a key difference from stain, which greys and needs reapplying every year.
Is vinyl decking good for the wet valley winters?
It's built for it. The membrane is fully waterproof PVC with no gaps or open seams, and it doesn't absorb water, rot, or grow moss the way wood and composite do through a wet Fraser Valley winter.
Is it a good fit for a large farm or acreage deck?
Yes — it heat-welds into one continuous sheet at any size, so big rural decks and covered patios get a seamless waterproof surface with no joints to leak. Contact us for a quote on your project.
What does vinyl decking cost in Abbotsford?
The membrane starts at $3.74 per square foot for material. Total installed cost depends on deck size, substrate condition, and complexity. Size your project with the cost calculator, or reach out for a quote.
When can it be installed?
Installation needs a dry substrate above 10°C, so jobs are scheduled around dry windows. Abbotsford's hot, dry mid-summer is prime; shoulder-season work is booked around clear spells.
