Key Benefits
-
NO DISRUPTION TO YOUR BUSINESS
Installing the Duro-Last Roofing System does not jeopardize your
business flow - you can remain open because no large and loud
machinery is required to install the roof. Other distractions (ex.
noise or parking lot tie-ups, etc.) are non-existent. Thus, your
customers will NOT be disturbed by a Duro-Last Roofing System
installation. Matter of fact...they probably won't even know a new
roof is being installed
-
INSTALLED YEAR-ROUND WITH NO MESSY CLEAN-UP
 The
roof is pre-measured and pre-cut with all the accessories included so
that the job can be completed quickly and cleanly no matter what time
of the year, without the use of any hazardous materials. Because there
are no messy materials to work with, your customers and employees will
NOT experience any dangerous vapors or potential fire hazards during a
Duro-Last Roofing System installation.
-
FIRE RETARDANT
The Duro-Last Roofing System's polymer thermoplastic coating will not
burn. In Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tests, the Duro-Last Roofing
System is regularly rated effective against light to severe fire
exposure. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your Duro-Last
Roof will stay strong even under harsh and unexpected conditions.
-
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Due to its reflective qualities, you can save money on energy costs by
installing a Duro-Last Roofing System. Duro-Last's white membrane
reflects approximately 83% of the sun's energy.* Such savings add up
quickly so that you can have extra money to use towards other building
improvements.
-
WIND RESISTANT
A mechanically attached roofing system, Duro-Last's membrane has been
successfully tested by Factory Mutual Research Corporation to
withstand 150 lbs. of uplift resistance, which translates to
approximately 140 m.p.h. winds.*
 In
real life, the Duro-Last Roofing System has even endured such
devastating storms as Hurricane Hugo and Hurricane Andrew. In 1989,
when Hurricane Hugo's force destroyed many buildings in the
Charleston, South Carolina area, approximately 130 Duro-Last roofs in
that area remained undamaged.*
You will feel secure knowing that your Duro-Last Roof will protect you
from even the most inclement weather conditions.
-
15-YEAR LIMITED OR 20-YEAR PRORATED WARRANTIES
On top of its commitment to quality, Duro-Last provides protection
with an outstanding 15-year limited (material and labor) warranty or a
20-year prorated warranty that protects non-residential buildings and
their contents if damaged because of a failure of the Duro-Last
Roofing System. This is only possible because of the intensive
quality-control measures, which are exercised during the manufacture
and installation of the Duro-Last Roofing System.
With these warranties, you can be assured that Duro-Last will stand
behind its products.
LEAK-PROOF
The Duro-Last membrane is classified as a CPA and is a proprietary
thermoplastic formulation consisting of resins and plasticizers,
stabilizers, biocides, flame retardant and U.V. absorbents. This
membrane is then laminated to a weft insertion knitted scrim that is
produced by overstitching a non-woven web. Because of this composition
and professional installation, the Duro-Last Roofing System provides
you with a leak-proof roof.
MAINTENANCE-FREE
Once installed, the Duro-Last Roofing System is continually watertight
and virtually maintenance-free. The Duro-Last Roofing System is
non-curing to provide excellent welding ability for the entire life of
the system.
Thus, in the unlikely event that an alteration is needed, a patch,
curb, stack or any other necessary alterations can easily be
accomplished by heat welding the new Duro-Last membrane or accessory
to the existing membrane.
INSTALLED BY PROFESSIONALS
 The
Duro-Last Roofing System is installed only by authorized Duro-Last
dealer/contractors who have received extensive training in this
system. These professionals are known for getting the job done right
with an emphasis on quality workmanship.
INSPECTED BY DURO-LAST QUALITY ASSURANCE SPECIALISTS
Duro-Last operates under a strict code of principals and standards.
Every Duro-Last Roofing System must receive a final inspection by a
Duro-Last quality assurance specialist, who will thoroughly check the
entire roof for problem areas and quality craftsmanship.
