Dek Shield from Puhos is a flooring solution for housebuilders designed for both interior and exterior use as well as forming part of complete ground and apartment floors. It combines a permanent waterproof surface and effective slip resistance with what the suppliers says is the highest quality raw material substrate. External fixing uses a bonding kit and a new PVA adhesive for edge sealing. A 'superb finish' is said to be assured with easy surface cleaning of site spoil when the project is finished The watertight susrface gives protection against leaks and spills during the life of the building. Used indoors, as part of a floating or joisted floor, Dek Shiled prevents moisture ingress from wet trades, helps keep floors flat and is an ideal substrate for the direct application of most floor finishes.

Combining the characteristics of its Weather Dek2 concept with a P7 baseboard, Puhos Board has added the Elite Fast-Fix package to its range of flooring systems. With the addition of the P7 baseboard, the weather protection of the system is extended making it particularly suitable for social housing projects, apartments and terraced developments where longer exposure is likely. Weather Dek2 Elite Fast-Fix differs from the standard system, with only a minimal need for mechanical fixings. The system speeds the floor laying process even more, using a specially developed bonding adhesive, applied using an application gun. This bonds the panels directly on to engineered beams and requires only secret nailing through the tongue of the panel for positioning and additional security. The company says that this effectively eliminates squeaky floors. Weather Dek adhesives are designed to provide both a secure fixing and the flexibility needed for expansion joints in the completed floor.
