Dek Shield
Puhos Dek Shield is a new, innovative flooring solution for housebuilders
designed for both internal and external use as well as forming part of a
complete ground and apartment floor system.

Dek Shield combines a permanent waterproof surface and 'best in class' slip resistance with the highest quality raw material substrate. External fixing requires a Weather Dek Fast Fix bonding kit and new Puhos D4 PVA adhesive for edge sealing. A superb finish is assured with easy surface
cleaning of site spoil on project completion. The watertight surface also gives added protection against leaks and spills during the life time of the building.

Used internally, as part of a floating or joisted floor, Dek Shield prevents moisture ingress from wet trades, helps keep floors flat and is an ideal substrate for the direct application of most floor tiles and finishes. Dek Shield supersedes the highly successful Puhos Protectafloor product.

Externally, Dek Shield flooring can be left safely exposed for up to 42 days, using a P5 substrate, or longer if a higher specification baseboard is selected. For use in dry conditions, boards are supplied with special PVA D4 adhesive to seal the edges. Where adverse weather is likely within two
hours of fixing, the additional precaution of Weather Dek edge tape is recommended while curing.

Benefits of the Dek Shield solution include:

  • Maximum site safety through unrivalled slip resistance.
  • Virtually noise free floor when used in an engineered floor system.
  • A permanent fully waterproof surface, achieved using an exclusive
    PU sealer.
  • Eliminates most mechanical fixing but safe in use.
  • An ideal base with excellent key for overlaying any further tile or decorative floor finish.
  • A choice of substrate: Puhos Type P5 for most standard construction jobs. Puhos Type P7 for extended exposure or as part of a complete designed floor element. WISA Sprucefloor for ultimate durability and a decorative finish.
