What Is Duro-Last Roofing?
Duro-Last roofing consists of single-ply rubber roofing membranes made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). This material is ideal for any commercial building with a low-sloped or flat roof. Although Duro-Last mainly contains PVC, it also has a blend of biocides, flame retardants, resins, stabilizers, and plasticizers for added durability and strength.
An added bonus is that the Duro-Last manufacturer will precision-cut this type of single-ply rubber roofing membrane to fit each specific building—eliminating 85% of the seams that would be present with other types of commercial roofing systems!
What Are the Benefits of Using a Duro-Last Membrane for Commercial Roofing?
1. Simple to Install
You already know that Duro-Last roofing comes custom-built to meet each job’s precise specifications. The manufacturer pre-assembles all the sheeting, and we bring the finished product to your building for a quick and easy installation. It eliminates the labor-intensive process that many other types of single-ply roofing systems require.
2. Cost-Effective
Duro-Last is an extremely cost-effective option for a commercial roofing system. In fact, it’s so lightweight that we can install it directly over the top of old roofing material, cutting down on labor costs. While the initial installation cost is slightly higher than TPO roofing systems (a comparable roofing material), Duro-Last is faster to install and last longer, making it a cost-effective investment in the long term.
3. Durable and Long-Lasting
As a single-ply rubber membrane, Duro-Last is durable yet still quite flexible. It resists punctures, chemicals, fires, high winds, extreme temperatures, and grease, making it a popular choice for restaurants and commercial eateries. In addition, the manufacturer heat-welds around 90% of the seams under controlled conditions. This makes them strong and reliablewhen compared to similar roofing materials that require on-site sealing.
4. Energy Efficient
The energy and utility costs associated with running a commercial building can take a considerable chunk out of a company’s profits, especially with Pittsburgh’s cold, icy winters and hot, sweaty summers. Duro-Last neatly addresses that problem: It reflects 88% of the sun’s UV rays and solar energy. As a result, it can make a considerable difference in your overall energy bills.
5. Water-Resistant
Another excellent benefit of using this commercial roofing system is its water resistance. The single-ply membrane is similar in composition to a standard pool liner, with added materials to ensure the roof is 100% watertight. That’s one of the best characteristics, as roof leaks can be extremely expensive to repair—let alone the damage that water can cause to the interior of the building.
