AridDek Waterproof Deck System requires less maintenance than wood or composite decking. Deck boards fit together in a tongue and groove configuration, forcing water to run off the surface and funneling any water that does seep through the barrier into an integrated gutter channel, creating a usable, 100 percent dry under deck area. From freezing rain and heavy snow to extreme heat and torrential downpours, with heavy traffic or just regular usage, AridDek is designed to out-perform conventional deck surface materials.
