Waterproof Vinyl Decking, Built for the Tri-Cities & Richmond
From Coquitlam's hillside towers to Richmond's sea-level flats, these Metro Vancouver communities pack in balconies and decks that soak through the Lower Mainland winter. Valordek is a continuous, fully sealed waterproof vinyl membrane, code-certified for decks over living space. Made minutes away in Surrey.
Density meets a long wet winter
Across the Tri-Cities and Richmond there's an enormous amount of elevated outdoor space — balconies, podium decks, townhouse patios — all facing the same long, wet Lower Mainland winter.
Condo + tower balconies
From Coquitlam Centre to Richmond's city centre, thousands of balconies sit over living space. A waterproofing failure there doesn't just rot a deck — it leaks into the unit below. A continuous membrane is the sealed layer that prevents it.
Months of rain
These communities take the full Lower Mainland soak — over 1,000 mm a year, most through a grey winter. Seams, board gaps, and fastener holes all become entry points. A continuous sheet has none.
Low, flat, sea-level ground
Richmond sits on the Fraser delta at sea level behind dykes — a high water table and damp ground keep ambient moisture up year-round. Sealing the deck surface stops water finding its way in from above.
Rot and moss
Constant damp grows moss on timber and composite and rots the framing beneath. Vinyl doesn't absorb water, so it stays clean and the assembly under it stays dry.
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.
Communities we serve
Valordek is made in neighbouring Surrey, so these Metro Vancouver communities get fast turnaround on material, samples, and installer connections. The same membrane handles the wet coastal climate across all of them — here's a closer look.
The Tri-Cities — Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody
The Tri-Cities blend hillside single-family homes with a fast-rising wall of towers around Coquitlam Centre, Burquitlam, and the Evergreen SkyTrain line. That mix means everything from large suburban sundecks to stacked condo balconies — all needing to keep winter rain out of the space below.
Richmond
Built on the flat Fraser delta at sea level, Richmond is a dense, fast-growing city of condos, townhomes, and family homes — with a high water table and dyke-protected ground that keep moisture a constant. A fully sealed membrane is exactly the right answer for low-lying, balcony-heavy Richmond.
New Westminster
The historic Royal City is one of BC's oldest, with heritage homes up the hill and a wall of newer condos along the Fraser waterfront in Quayside and Sapperton. Old or new, a deck over living space here has to be sealed to code — a continuous membrane does it on a century-old porch or a brand-new balcony alike.
Why wood and coatings fail here first
Constant Lower Mainland damp soaks into wood and feeds rot and moss, while paint-on coatings blister once water gets underneath. On a stacked balcony that means a leak into the suite below. A continuous heat-welded vinyl membrane doesn't absorb water and has no gaps, fasteners, or seams to fail — one sealed sheet, code-certified for decks over occupied space.

Is vinyl decking suitable for condo and tower balconies?
Yes — it's one of the best uses for it. A continuous heat-welded membrane creates a fully sealed surface over a balcony built above another unit, so water can't track into the suite below. It meets the CGSB 37.54 code standard required for decks over occupied space.
Is it a good fit for low-lying Richmond?
Yes. Richmond's flat, sea-level, dyke-protected ground keeps ambient moisture high, so sealing the deck surface completely matters even more. A continuous membrane doesn't absorb water and leaves no seams for it to enter.
Can it go on a podium or amenity deck?
Yes. The 60mil Smooth-Back membrane is built for podiums, walkways, and rooftop terraces — Class A & C fire rated, with PVC flashing and heat-welded seams that handle high foot traffic and stay watertight through the wet season.
What does vinyl decking cost here?
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.
How fast can you supply a project?
Quickly — Valordek is made and warehoused in neighbouring Surrey, so material and samples turn around fast and we can connect you with local installers for both towers and homes.
