Formulation
Most popular deckboards are comprised
of various scraps of waste product and
wood fibers. This composition is not the
ideal performance material.
VEKAdeckTM PRO is manufactured with
a unique formulation of 100% PVC,
performance modifiers and color
pigments.
This blend of quality materials assures that
VEKAdeckTM PRO will provide years of low
maintenance performance.

Moisture / Weather Resistant
Unlike most wood fiber composites,
VEKAdeckTM PRO does not absorb
water and therefore resists mold
growth and decay.

Deck samples placed in water for 4 weeks
VEKAdeck absorbed 0 water
and did not leech color or any
other agents into the water.
The competition absorbed
excessive water and
released pigment and tanic
acids and other agents into
the water.

Heat Build-Up
126°F
On hot sunny summer days most
deck surfaces can get very hot, so hot
in fact that shoes are required.
VEKAdeckTM PRO was designed to
remain comfortable even with bare
feet on a hot summer day.
A heat build up test was conducted in the VEKA Innovations
Training Lab shows that VEKAdeckTM PRO is 62 degrees
cooler that its’ competition.
188°F

Safe, Splinter-Free
The attractive wood grain appearance
will not splinter, flake or peel and
provides a slip resistant, stain proof
surface that kids can safely play on.
Heat absorption (Heat Build Up) is
among the lowest in the industry.
Walk comfortably with bare
feet on a hot summer day!
:: Professional Grade Decking ::
Stain Resistance
In everyday use a deck is
exposed to several staining
agents such as barbeque
sauce while grilling, etc.
VEKAdeck PRO’s superior
composition will not stain like
most other deck boards.

In the demonstration several different types of sauces were
dropped onto the surfaces of many leading deckboards
including VEKAdeckTM PRO.
Using household cleaners we then tried to remove the
stains. VEKAdeckTM PRO wiped completely clean while the
others absorbed oils and the surface appeared discolored.

Slip Resistance
VEKAdeckTM PRO has a 2-stage
embossed attractive wood grain
pattern on its’ surface. This allows for
exceptional traction even in wet or
slippery conditions.
Some popular composite deckboards
do not use an embossed pattern and
thus increases the risk of slipping.

Installs Like Traditional Lumber
VEKAdeckTM PRO installs with
traditional hand or power tools and
easily accepts nails, screws, or
hidden fasteners.

Hardness / Surface Durability
When it comes to strength and performance,
VEKAdeckTM PRO is at the top of the industry.
Due of heavy traffic, most deckboards surface patterns
wear out quickly. However, Because of its superior
surface strength, VEKAdeckTM PRO’s beautiful wood
grain pattern will withstand years of traffic and stay
beautiful throughout the life of the product.

Impact Resistance
VEKAdeckTM PRO is one of the
strongest deck materials available on
the market today.
VEKAdeckTM PRO Challenge:
This demonstration is VEKAdeckTM PRO’s unique impact
testing method displayed at various trade shows. A 16lb.
bowling ball is dropped from above to simulate how well a
plank will withstand impact (of say a potted plant being
dropped, etc.).
A single VEKAdeckTM PRO plank shown above has withstood
over 200 consecutive bowling ball drops and still no sign of
bending, cracking, or breaking.
While testing competitors decks, their product simply
snapped right in half upon the first drop.
