Valordek vinyl decking protects balconies and rooftop patios across New Westminster. From heritage homes in Queens Park to waterfront condos along the Fraser River, our certified membranes keep water out and living spaces dry. 11 colours. Starting at $3.74 per square foot. Certified to exceed CGSB-37.54 waterproofing standards.
New Westminster holds the distinction of being the oldest city in British Columbia, incorporated in 1860. That history is visible in its architecture. From the heritage conservation area in Queens Park to the character homes lining the streets of Uptown, the city has a building stock that spans more than a century. Many of these properties feature original balconies and elevated decks that were never designed to handle the volume of rain the Lower Mainland delivers.
Valordek vinyl decking membranes provide certified waterproofing for these structures. Whether you are restoring a heritage balcony or replacing a failing membrane on a 1980s condo, the continuous sheet system with heat-welded seams creates a watertight surface that prevents moisture from reaching the structure below.
New Westminster receives approximately 1,400mm of rain annually. The city's compact geography and significant elevation changes concentrate water runoff on hillside properties, putting additional pressure on deck surfaces and the substrates beneath them. A conventional deck with board gaps or deteriorating sealant will let that water through, causing rot, mould, and structural damage to the living space below.
The National Building Code classifies any deck over occupied space as a "roof" that requires waterproofing to CGSB-37.54 standards. Valordek vinyl membranes carry CCMC and Intertek certifications confirming they exceed code 37.54.95, making them a code-compliant choice for New Westminster's building requirements.
The city's steep terrain creates another challenge. Balconies and decks on hillside properties often sit at dramatic angles relative to the ground below, meaning any water that penetrates the membrane surface has a long way to travel before it becomes visible as damage. By the time a leak shows up inside, the underlying structure may already be compromised. A continuous waterproof membrane eliminates this risk at the surface.
Queens Park is one of the largest heritage conservation areas in Western Canada. The neighbourhood's Victorian and Edwardian homes often feature covered porches, elevated verandas, and second-storey balconies that are original to the structure. When these surfaces need restoration, the waterproofing solution must protect the building without altering its character.
The 68mil Fuzzy-Back membrane is well suited for heritage balcony work. It installs with contact adhesive (VD 0295 / VD 0220) directly over properly prepared plywood substrates, creating a seamless waterproof surface. The membrane sits flat with no raised fasteners or visible expansion joints, preserving clean sight lines on exposed balconies. With 11 colours available, including Classic stone tones that complement heritage palettes, the finished surface blends with the existing architecture.
Beyond Queens Park, neighbourhoods like Brow of the Hill, Sapperton, and the residential streets of Uptown are filled with character homes from the early to mid 1900s. Many of these properties have had deck surfaces patched or re-coated multiple times over the decades. A full membrane replacement with Valordek provides a long-term solution backed by a 10-year product warranty.
New Westminster has a large inventory of older multi-family buildings. Many condos and apartment buildings constructed in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s are now reaching the stage where original balcony membranes have degraded beyond repair. Cracking, peeling, and delamination are common signs that the existing surface is no longer keeping water out.
Strata councils managing these buildings need a replacement product that is cost-effective across dozens of units, available without long lead times, and backed by documented certification for insurance and warranty purposes. Valordek membranes meet all three requirements. Every colour is stocked at our Surrey warehouse, so phased replacement projects do not stall waiting for material shipments. The CCMC and Intertek certifications provide the documentation strata managers need.
The SkyTrain-connected development corridors along Columbia Street and near the stations at New Westminster, Sapperton, and 22nd Street continue to add new multi-family housing. Every elevated balcony in these projects requires a waterproofing membrane that meets code.
New Westminster's waterfront along the Fraser River has seen significant redevelopment. The Pier Park area, River Market district, and the growing number of residential towers along the Quay feature rooftop amenity spaces and elevated patios that face direct weather exposure.
The 60mil Smooth-Back membrane is built for these applications. It uses contact adhesive (Sika 2170-R) with PVC flashing on open decks and heat-welded seams. Class A and C fire rated, tested by Intertek. The 15-year waterproofing warranty reflects the commercial-grade construction required for rooftop patios and shared amenity decks.

Yes. The 68mil Fuzzy-Back membrane installs as a flat, continuous surface with no raised fasteners or visible expansion joints. It preserves clean sight lines on heritage balconies and covered porches. With 11 colours including classic stone tones, the membrane complements heritage architecture while providing certified waterproofing to code 37.54.95.
Valordek membranes are fully adhered to the substrate with contact adhesive, so they do not shift, lift, or separate on sloped surfaces. The heat-welded seams create a continuous waterproof barrier regardless of the deck's angle or the grade of the property below. This is critical on hillside balconies where water penetration can travel undetected through the structure.
