Flexstone Coatings

I like to think of myself as a "Do It Yourself" kind of guy, so when It came to waterproofing my new deck I searched around for options. A lot of my neighbours have problems with their decks leaking due to their roll on vinyl decking's seams separating. Their decks also stain easily, and the patterns of the vinyl never match up around all the seams etc.

Originally. I thought that roll-on vinyl was really my only choice and then I spoke to a friend in Calgary who told me to check out Flexstone Coatings. They have an amazing product that gets trowelled on like any kind of viscous flooring covering. It's a urethane based product that mixes with water to start the chemical process. Pour it on, spread it out and it self-levels itself while it sets. It bonds directly to the substrate and is 100% waterproof. The finishing consists of a roll-on top coat, and then the texture which you honestly just toss on like you'd distribute grass seed.

I called the Flexstone team to see what kind of challenges I might have doing this myself as I was quite concerned that it would be as challenging as doing roll-on vinyl myself. I was lucky enough to talk directly with the President who talked to me about the process, he directed me to multiple videos they have showing the preparation and install process, and also to some CCMC Test Results showing how bullet proof this waterproof membrane is for cold wet climates like Vancouver.

I was sold, they put me in touch with their Operations Manager who answered a few more questions I had and I placed the order.

I was rushed for time last Fall so I only got the initial waterproof base-coat put down but its the "meat and potatoes" of the job. 4 Months of solid rain this year, while cooped up with COVID and the deck hasn't let a drop of moisture through.

I'm looking forward to Spring as I have another 1,500 Sq/ft deck to waterproof.

I can't recommend this product enough for the DIY guys. Also, if you are a deck installer, or other kind of blue-collar worker dealing with decks, garage floors, cracked sidewalks, flat roofs etc. they have solutions for those kinds of things as well, and the product is painless to use and fast to apply.

100% satisfied with Flexstone. Toss that vinyl and get your deck waterproofed the right way!

I have had the pleasure of working with Flexstone Coatings for the last 5 years. Ken and his staff are excellent to deal with, very professional, and extremely responsive. The Flexsone product line has become a central part of our business and the support we have received from Ken, Ryan, and Demi has been critical to our growth. I really can't say enough about this company. They provide excellent product quality, qualified referrals to dealers and effective marketing support. Working with Flexstone is one of the best decisions we have made for our business development. I can't thank them enough for all the encouragement and support.
