It's High Time a Manufacturer Develops a "Green" Deck Coating

Having watched the explosion of Green building products over the last few years and seeing the results, I have to ask our many deck coating manufacturer's-

Where's the "green" deck coating?
Green is the word in building today-from solar and rain collection, to earth friendly building products that are recyclable after their life span has ended.

The first manufacturer to develop a waterproof deck coating that gets LEED credits will probably be, or become, the biggest winner in the battle to get waterproof decking specified on green projects.Installers who can offer that type of deck coating product would come out ahead of their competitors too.

Crossfield Products (Dex-O-Tex) has some coatings for interior uses that can get LEED credits,something that no other manufacturer (that I'm aware of) has. That's a start, but now it's time to develop and market a "Green" Waterproof deck coating.

Who'll be the first to step up and meet the markets demands?
