Roofing Systems

Duro-Last® Roofing, Inc. manufactures a custom-prefabricated, reinforced, thermoplastic membrane roofing system that is ideal for any flat or low-sloped application. Extremely durable and easily installed by authorized contractors without disruption to daily operations, the Duro-Last single-ply roofing system is also leak-proof, highly-reflective, resistant to chemicals, fire and high winds, and virtually maintenance-free. Over a billion square feet of Duro-Last membrane have been installed on all types of buildings throughout North America.

The highly-reflective Duro-Last® Cool Zone® roofing system is delivering real energy cost savings for building owners and managers. The Cool Zone system can help in obtaining credits toward LEED and LEED-EB certification. From reducing heat islands and optimizing energy performance, to resource reuse and thermal comfort, the Cool Zone roofing system can be a part of a comprehensive package for improving building performance.

For buildings with aging metal roofs, the prefabricated, single-ply Duro-Shield® metal retrofit roofing system can be installed over an existing roof without an expensive tear-off. It's the cost-effective, long-term way to protect buildings against rain, temperature changes, interior drips, ice build-up, and rust and corrosion. The Duro-Shield roofing system is the perfect fit for metal retrofit. For more information visit www.duro-last.com.
