| Q: |
Will
you sell your products to me outside the Southwest United
States? |
| A: |
If you are a contractor or a distributor and would like
to buy our products, we will sell any amount of product
to you anywhere in the world, provided that you arrange
and pay for all freight costs. |
| Q: |
Can
I use your products for interior use, vertical surfaces,
garages, driveways, or countertop surfaces? |
| A: |
Generally,
yes. Preferred Deck Systems products are extremely versatile
can be used in almost any application. Please call us
at 602.440.3325 for information about your specifics.
For instance, you will want to use a sealer with garages
and driveways and stay off of the surface for an extended
period of time, depending on the weather conditions.
It may be necessary to not park in the driveway for
several weeks. |
| Q: |
How
much product do I need to cover a specific job? |
| A: |

see the coverages chart below. This is a general guideline
and will vary depending on the application, the surface,
equipment, temperature, and number of coats used. |

| Q: |
Can
I use Preferred Deck Systems products over an existing
deck surface? |
| A: |
Generally,
yes. However, please call us at 602.440.3325 for detailed
information about your specific job. |
| Q: |
Can
I put your product on brand new concrete? |
| A: |
Generally,
yes. However, you need to allow enough time for the
concrete to cure, so that problems such as delamination
and efflorescence do not occur. In the cold months,
it may be necessary to wait several weeks. Please call
us at 602.440.3325 with your specific application details. |
| Q: |
I have had problems with other decking products delaminating,
breaking down in water, or causing efflorescence. Are
there similar problems with Preferred Deck Systems products? |
| A: |
Generally,
no. We use the highly quality 100% acrylic resins available.
Some lesser quality products use a PVA and SBR base
and can have these types of problems. Some problems
can be avoided in the application process. Please call
us at 602.440.3325 with your specific concerns. In the
case of efflorescence, we add a specially formulated
chemical to our aggregate to decrease the occurrence
of this problem. If you have encountered this problem
in the past, please call us to get more details on specific
application instructions that can also help. |
| Q: |
I
am a contractor and do not know how to achieve a specific
texture. Where do I get this information? |
|
A: |
We
are here to help you with your specific needs. We are
just a phone call away (602.440.3325.) We can instruct
you how to get the texture you desire, whether its a
lace, flagstone, saltillo, granite, or brick texture |
| Q: |
For
stone-like applications, such as flagstone and monolithic
stone, is the texture coat troweled or stamped with
forms? |
A: |
Texture
coat for these applications can be both troweled or
stamped, whichever is preferred. Ask your local distributor
about coating stamps (which are different than regular
concrete stamps.) |
