I've heard that Azek can be slippery when wet but I've never heard of Vekadeck.

Many manmade decking material outfits are going bank0 latley I sugest you not be in the number of the first few to try a new product right now. J.

If you must use PVC decking I think VD is one of the better ones. A little glossy but fundamentally sound. They were also the makers of Trex Escapes for a time, and you may find that Trex Escapes is more widely distributed.

Seems Veka has been around 13 years or so and are fierce competitors with Azek (previously known as Procelll). According to Veka associates, Veka engineered and manufactured the product first, Azek basically took the same product and actually marketed it. I'm thinking, so why don't they market it?

Placing Azek and Veka boards right next to each other.... I didn't notice it being much shinier...the wood grain look is pretty similar too.

I've posted on several other home forums and few seem to know much about it.

Tahoe has harsh weather on decks and siding...we have friends with Trex and Evergrain composites...in two years the decks have deteriorated...you can actually scratch the top surface and get powder.

I checked out other PVC's...Trex Escapes and fiberon sensibuilt but the colors didn't work. I think we may take the leap...Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes.

Just looking for an update re Vekadeck.

We've chosen it too for our backyard deck - it was a toss up between Veka and Azek, but I preferred the colour from Veka. I have noticed that on very clean sample boards, Veka is shinier. But otherwise, they look and feel similar to me.

Just ordered it. Supposed to be in first week of May. I'll let you know.

A friend will be resurfacing his decks and is considering Vekadeck as well as Garapa for the project. What fastening system or component will you use. Have you considered aphano plates or another hidden system.

Here is a link that might be useful: Aphano Fasteners

@remodelzombie - Hope you are still following Houzz, interested to learn how your Veka deck is holding up 5 years later? Considering installing one myself, don't find a lot of commentary on the Veka product online, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Veka deck still beautiful after 5 years. Easy to no maintenance. We roll it with a recommended sealant each spring. Color has stayed perfectly. No cracks or warping. No staining problems. It has a slight eggshell gloss but not excessive. It is no more icy than a wood deck in the snow. Ice is ice. Make certain you hire someone that knows how to install Veka. I feel the sub-contractor left space between boards as you would in a wood deck for contraction and expansion. Don't need to do that for Veka deck. Consequently, leaves and pine needles get stuck in the cracks and requires a little more effort in the spring to clean it up. Otherwise, we love it! I recommend Veka deck.

Hi remodelzombie. What color is your Veka deck? It looks great. Thanks!

We have used this product for a very large deck in New Jersey. It has held up pretty well yet I am disappointed that it stained when sunscreen got on it. Of course people use sunscreen on the deck and this was never specified on the use and care instructions when we installed it.
