- Project Profile,Waterproofing
The resident of a lovely waterfront home in Gig Harbor, Washington, wanted to redesign her patio and pool deck with some updated surfacing. She pictured a flagstone style using her favorite colors. Westcoat Rep Lee Jenkerson met with the client and recommended the use of ALX Custom Finish for the job.
Westcoat QCA JC Surface Coatings, LLC. was asked to install this system. The project in its entirety was worked on in 100% humidity conditions, affecting usual application times for Westcoat’s waterproofing materials. Despite this, the applicators made conditions work by setting up a tent to protect the surface from rain while also using machinery to simulate heat and air flow within the area.
All of the hard work paid off as the client was extremely happy with the final result – a gorgeous, top-notch patio and pool deck. It was everything she had dreamed of!
About ALX™ Custom Finish
ALX™ Custom Finish is a waterproof walking deck system. It is reinforced with metal lath and is installed with a series of four to five separate polymer-modified cementitious applications and sealed with one of Westcoat’s clear sealers. This system gives plywood the look and feel of slate, flagstone, or tile. Designed for use on plywood and ideal for areas with heavy traffic or in cases where elimination of plywood seams is essential. The ALX™ Custom Finish can be stapled through most old deck systems to provide an excellent method for the rehabilitation of problem surfaces.
