Unlike Plywood, DuraDeck does not:
| • |
Absorb water |
| • |
Get heavier when wet |
| • |
Lose strength over time |
| • |
Warp when wet |
| • |
Contain a risk of rotting or getting eaten by termites |
| • |
Provide safety hazards such as splinters, loose nails,
or broken boards |
In addition, DuraDeck has many other benefits over Plywood such
as it:
| • |
Can be used in environmentally sensitive areas |
| • |
Contains recycled content |
| • |
Is solid and uniform in construction |
| • |
Provides a treaded traction surface |
| • |
Integrated connection system |
The best thing about DuraDeck, is that you get all the benefits
listed above, but more importantly DuraDeck is much less expensive.
Here is how it works:
| o |
If you buy a DuraDeck mat for $200.00 and use the mat
10 times per year over the life expectancy of 7 years,
which equals 70 uses, the COST PER USE of a DuraDeck Mat
is only $2.85. |
| o |
If you buy 3/4" plywood @ $31.00 and you
are lucky enough to get 5 uses, the COST PER USE OF PLYWOOD
IS $6.20 OR
54% more expensive. |
The main takeaway is that plywood was never designed
to provide vehicle traction or ground protection,
therefore it is not the preferred application and will not
stand up to the quality of DuraDeck.
Now, let’s look at another example of how DuraDeck matches
up to plywood over an extended period of time when it comes
to cost, using the same example as above. If one DuraDeck
mat can withstand being used 70 times over a 7 year period
of time and plywood will only last for 5 uses, let's figure
out the cost over time.
For you to get 70 uses out of Plywood, you would have to
buy 14 (70 divided by 5) pieces. 14 pieces of plywood at a
cost of $31.00 each makes the cost $434.00. Now, calculate
this out for each DuraDeck mat that you need, and it will
be easy to see that DuraDeck is the only option for you.
In summary, DuraDeck is the only product that has been developed
to provide vehicle traction and ground protection as its primary
application. Based on this, you can rest assured you have
the best product to hold up over time. More importantly, it
will pay you back time and time again over that of Plywood.
The real question is, WHY plywood????
