Not our first Weather rodeo
We've been here since the beginning.
Flexstone's History
A little background on how we've evolved.During the leaky-condo crisis of the 1990s in Vancouver, our company experimented with a variety of urethane waterproofing products in order to help with remediation work on leaky condo buildings. Engineers and envelope consultants stipulated urethanes had to be used on sundecks; however, everything we found locally failed to meet our standards and were unpleasant to work with. The available products were solvent-based, thin, difficult to work with and, most importantly, lacked the resilience needed for our climate.
After a search was conducted, we discovered a high-quality manufacturer of premium urethane systems that had developed an odorless water catalyzed urethane (WCU) base coat – this was a game changer. The product was originally designed for ski-resorts, zoos, waterparks and other high-abuse applications – which was a perfect fit for our climate.
Working with our new partners, Flexstone married ideas to maximize the durability and aesthetics of the system which led to the creation and introduction of the System-X Textured Stone system and began confidently installing the materials on sundecks and walkways. It was then tested in Canada and obtained CCMC approvals (part of National Bldg. Codes) and the product became known as Flexstone, a niche water-catalyzed odourless (solvent-free) urethane coating. Flexstone is the only approved seamless coating approved for flat roofs as well as decks and it quickly became extremely popular.
Simply put, nothing compares to our WCU (water catalyzed urethane) Tuff base coat, – “THE ONE & ONLY”
