DeckTech Inc just can't help themselves; they recently turned on their own manufacturer's products from Westcoat, Mer-Ko & Life Deck. DeckTech advertises at their website that they are "proud partners of" Mer-Ko, Westcoat & Life Deck. With friends like DeckTech, who needs enemies?
Then they print a blog post that proceeds to thoroughly trash the systems they install. http://www.decktech.org/Blog/2017/March/Why-Coating-Assemblies-Fail.aspx#~k6w0s4
From their post-
"The Acrylic Cement coatings Life Deck, Desert-Crete, West-Coat and numerous others, all fail here on the coast."
"The Slip-Sheet deck coating Merkote Weather-Deck is a soft Neoprene and as photos indicate they dent and ding easily if items are dropped on them or furniture moved around on them. They also have chronic issues with nail heads backing out and penetrating through coating. This assembly has been in use for years but very out dated due to new technology in the coating industry. This assembly needs a lot of TLC and if not given this attention will fracture and fail.
Wow, what can you believe? Are the Westcoat, Life Deck or Mer-Ko systems they sell really that bad? Or is Decktech really just stupid for reposting an article they originally posted in 2012?
All I can ask is why are manufacturer's doing business with a company that hates their products? DeckTech talks about Granite Deck, but that system is not mentioned anymore on their website due to the myriad number of problems that have with it failing.
