How the system works

The difference is
between the boards.

Two components work together to make the deck surface itself the waterproof layer. See the connection before choosing your color, or read the full guide to waterproof decking.

02

A seal between the boards

The Dexerdry TPE seal fits between compatible board grooves as the decking is installed.

03

A planned path for rain

With the required pitch, flashing, and installation details, the assembly directs rain toward the deck edge.

Explore the complete system

Site conditions matter. Follow current installation instructions. Open sides can still admit wind-driven rain; this is not a fully enclosed, weatherproof room.

The people behind the boards

Made in New Jersey by people who build.

AmeriDex started on a jobsite. Our co-founder John Ardolina is a carpenter by trade who spent years watching rain run through deck gaps and quietly rot the framing below. He built the Dexerdry seal to stop the water at the surface.

Co-founder Jim Murphy brings the manufacturing side. Our cellular PVC boards are made in Linden, New Jersey, and our team works out of Brick, New Jersey. When you call or write, you reach us directly.

Can I use AmeriDex on an existing deck?

Yes, on a qualifying re-deck where the old boards are removed. Your builder must confirm framing condition, spacing, pitch, flashing, fastening, and the current installation requirements. It cannot be added beneath boards that stay in place.

Does it keep all rain out of the space below?

No system can promise that for an open-sided space. The correctly installed board-and-seal assembly sheds rain off the deck surface, so the area underneath stays much drier and usable. Wind-driven rain can still blow in from the open sides, and perimeter details matter. It is not a fully enclosed, weatherproof room.

How is it different from under-deck drainage?

AmeriDex integrates the drainage function at the deck surface. Other systems use a separate above-joist layer beneath the boards or collect water below the joists. Compare the three approaches to match the system to your project.

Is AmeriDex waterproof decking?

Yes, at the deck surface. The Dexerdry seal closes the gap between the boards, so a correctly installed deck sheds rain off the surface instead of letting it drip through. The area underneath stays much drier and usable, but it is open-sided, so wind-driven rain can still blow in from the sides. It is not a fully enclosed, weatherproof room. See how waterproof decking compares to membranes, aluminum planks, and coatings.

How much does AmeriDex cost?

AmeriDex is priced by the lineal foot of deck board, and that figure covers both the cellular PVC board and the Dexerdry seal, because together they are the drainage system. Use the cost guide calculator for a starting number, then ask for a written quote for exact figures.

Are the samples really free?

Yes. Pick the colors you want to see, choose a 6-inch or 12-inch sample, and we ship them to your door at no cost. Request your samples.

What warranty comes with it?

The integrated board and seal system carries a 25-Year Residential Limited and 10-Year Limited Commercial warranty. Read the warranty details and remember to register your warranty within 30 days.

Where is AmeriDex made?

Our cellular PVC deck boards are manufactured in Linden, New Jersey, and the Dexerdry seal is also produced in the USA. Our headquarters, sales, and warehouse are in Brick, New Jersey.

Where should I start?

Request physical color samples, sketch your deck dimensions, and ask for a project quote. Your written quote should confirm boards, seals, fasteners, accessories, delivery, and any installation costs.
