Why Choose the Duro-Last®
Commercial Roofing System?

Duro-Last logo

We chose the Duro-Last commercial roofing system as the exclusive roofing system we install.

Since its inception in 1978, Duro-Last has pioneered the manufacturing of prefabricated single-ply roofing systems. Today, Duro-Last® produces a prefabricated, reinforced thermoplastic single-ply roofing system for commercial and industrial flat or low-sloped roofs.

Over a billion square feet of Duro-Last membrane have been installed throughout North America. Let's see why…

The First Reason Is The Actual Product!

Simply said -- It's "The World's Best Roof"®! But, if you need the technical data to show you proof, read the next paragraph…

The Duro-Last roofing system membrane is a proprietary thermoplastic formulation consisting of resins, plasticizers, stabilizers, biocides, flame retardants, and U.V. absorbents. A weft-insertion knitted scrim is laminated between two layers of film, giving the membrane its strength and durability. The Duro-Last membrane is available in white, tan or gray. The installed 40 mil system weighs .25 lbs. per square foot.

But the Real Difference Is Its Custom Prefabrication.

Each Duro-Last commercial roofing system project is custom prefabricated to fit every roof precisely. Duro-Last factory welds the material into large sheets, up to 2,500 square feet and up to 100 feet in length. By performing 80-85% of membrane seaming in its controlled factory environment, Duro-Last reduces the number of required field seams of other systems.

Duro_Last Commericial roofing systems difference is in the seams.



As you can imagine, such a reduction in roof seams can offer you the following benefits:
  • Reduces the installation time and lowers the final cost.
  • Lowers the potential for rooftop installation errors and leaks.
  • Lessens the disruptions to your daily operations during the installation.

Another key difference is that the Duro-Last® commercial roofing system comes with all the necessary accessories, including the custom fabricated stacks and curb flashings. This also eliminates the majority of on-site work on the most critical areas of the roof – penetrations and transitions.
