Waterproof Vinyl Decking, Built for Kelowna
The Okanagan sun is relentless — some of the most intense UV and hottest, driest summers in Canada bake a deck all season, then winter freezes it. Valordek is a UV-stable, continuous waterproof vinyl membrane tested from -40°C to 80°C. Made in Canada by 25-year waterproofing pros.
Sun, heat, then a hard freeze
Kelowna decks face the opposite of the coast: punishing summer sun and heat, then a real winter. Few surfaces hold up to both.
Intense Okanagan UV
Kelowna gets some of the most sunshine hours in Canada. That relentless UV bleaches stain, dries out and greys wood, and breaks down cheap vinyl within a couple of seasons. UV-stable membrane holds its colour for the life of the deck.
Summer heat
Okanagan summers regularly push past 35°C. Heat warps boards and softens lesser surfaces. Valordek is tested to 80°C, so it stays dimensionally stable through the hottest lakeside afternoons.
Winter freeze
The Okanagan still drops below freezing with snow through winter. The membrane stays flexible to -40°C, absorbing the seasonal swing from +35°C summers to sub-zero winters without cracking.
Dry-then-wet swings
Bone-dry summers give way to wet shoulder seasons and snowmelt. Wood checks and splits as it dries, then drinks up moisture later. A sealed vinyl surface doesn't move with the humidity.
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 Kelowna and the Okanagan
The Okanagan is one of BC's fastest-growing regions, and a huge share of the building is decks and balconies with a view to protect. Lakefront and hillside homes in Lower Mission, Upper Mission, and Lake Country, condos and townhomes downtown and in Glenmore, and the steady stream of retirement and vacation properties across Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Peachland — nearly all have an elevated deck or balcony built over living space.
That matters because 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, so a Kelowna balcony over a suite, carport, or unit is sealed properly.
Lake-view decks that hold their colour
The whole point of an Okanagan deck is the view and the time spent on it — which means it sits in full sun all summer. Stained wood greys and a cheap surface fades within a season or two. Valordek's UV-stable colour holds, so the deck still looks new years in, with no annual re-stain stealing your summer weekends.
Why wood and coatings fail here first
Okanagan sun and heat dry wood until it checks, splits, and greys; the shoulder-season wet then swells it back. Paint-on coatings chalk and peel under the UV. A continuous heat-welded vinyl membrane has no gaps, fasteners, or seams to fail, doesn't absorb moisture, and won't fade — it's one sealed, colour-stable sheet.
Built for the Kelowna install season
Contact adhesive needs a dry substrate above 10°C to bond, and Kelowna's long, hot, dry season is about as install-friendly as it gets in Canada — roughly April through October. Your installer can advise on timing and connect you with experienced local crews.

Will it fade in the Okanagan sun?
No. Valordek vinyl is UV-stable — engineered to hold its colour through intense, prolonged sun exposure. That's a key difference from stain (which greys and needs annual reapplication) and cheap vinyl (which chalks and fades). The colour you install is the colour it stays for the life of the membrane.
Can it handle Okanagan summer heat?
Yes. The membrane is tested to 80°C and stays dimensionally stable through 35°C-plus lakeside afternoons — it won't warp or soften the way boards and lesser surfaces can.
What does vinyl decking cost in Kelowna?
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.
Is there a Valordek dealer in the Okanagan?
We ship product across the Okanagan and can connect you with the nearest installer. Contact us for samples, pricing, and to be matched with a local crew for your Kelowna or West Kelowna project.
When can it be installed in Kelowna?
Roughly April through October. Contact adhesive needs a dry substrate above 10°C to bond, and Kelowna's long, hot, dry season is one of the most install-friendly stretches in the country.
