Since 1978, Duro-Last Roofing, Inc. has manufactured a custom-prefabricated, reinforced, thermoplastic single-ply roofing system that is ideal for any flat or low-sloped application. The Duro-Last roofing system is:
  • Precision fabricated. Every Duro-Last roof is manufactured to exact size in our controlled factory environment. This eliminates up to 85% of rooftop installation seaming and ensures an excellent fit, delivering worry-free, leak-proof, long-term protection.
  • Energy-efficient. The Duro-Last white membrane has the highest retained reflectivity of any single-ply membrane rated by the EPAs ENERGY STAR roof products program, saving significant energy and money for building owners and managers all over the U.S.
  • Durable. The Duro-Last system is resistant to fire, chemicals, grease, high winds and punctures, and easily accommodates wide temperature extremes.
  • Installed with no disruptions by authorized contractors. Installation is quiet, fast, and safe, without loud machinery, hazardous materials, noxious fumes, hot tar, or mess. A new Duro-Last roof often can be installed over an existing roof without an expensive tear-off, virtually eliminating dust or falling debris that might interfere with building activities or damage sensitive equipment.
  • Backed by the industry's best warranties. Duro-Last protects commercial and industrial buildings with a comprehensive 15-year full warranty or a 20-year prorated warranty. Both warranties are transferable, and both provide maximum protection. Both include coverage for consequential damages that result from defects in the Duro-Last material and/or installation.

It adds a number of high-performance attributes to metal structures, roofing and wall cladding assemblies, including: high R-value and moisture controlling thermal insulation, good acoustical performance, reduced uncontrolled air infiltration and exfiltration, great wind uplift resistance, high compressive strength, increased racking strength, and lowered roof surface temperatures.
