Vinyl vs Precidium
VINYL |
PRECIDIUM |
| Visible seam lines | No seam anywhere on deck, providing a much cleaner look |
| Seams can come apart which may lead to rot etc. (seams must be fixed immediately) | No seams, no water |
| All corners of a deck require welding and patching these welds and patches may allow water in and become an area of concern | No seams or patches. Our products form a monolithic membrane around corners or posts, etc. |
| Membrane can be torn, ripped and cut relatively easy. Home owner must be aware when moving furniture, barbecues, etc. | Extremely difficult to damage Precidium as it is far more dense and thicker than vinyl. |
| If membrane is torn, ripped or cut, patches needed. | We simply repair damage and apply top coat. Almost an invisible repair. |
| UV rays affect vinyl causing the vinyl to begin to fade and accelerate the aging process | Sustainable – Protective UV coat added at the end of installation process providing a great look and protection for years. This coating can be reapplied over and over. |
| Stubborn stains and dirt penetrate the grooves of the material, pressure washing is not recommended. | Easy to clean. Soap and water. |
| Replacing of vinyl is expensive and labor is intensive. Material must be taken off, surface filled and re-sanded, then new vinyl applied. | No need to remove, just re-apply over old system. Precidium far outlasts vinyl with very little maintenance |
| Slip-resistant surface comes embossed | Higher level of slip resistance can be achieved. Granules can be applied to suit your needs. |
| Very little or no resistance to stains and chemicals. | Far better stain resistance and superior capacity of handling chemicals etc. |
| A cigarette burn would at least cause a burn and most likely a hole in the vinyl. Patch repaired in most cases. | The same cigarette may at most mar the surface slightly and most likely extinguish itself. Easy, almost invisible repair if needed. |
| Generally beige or grey materials, extras like borders require seams. | Tons of color choices and combinations |
| Very difficult to customize, if at all. | We can customize any surface from custom color combinations to corporate logos, designs, etc. |
| No realistic type finishes such as granite available | Granitex finish available in many color combinations |
