The Shingle-Ply Roofing System From
Duro-Last®
Duro-Last Roofing's Shingle-Ply system delivers the perfect combination
of watertight integrity and aesthetics. It's ideal for government
facilities where appearance is important, but conventional shingles are
not practical because the roof may not provide good water runoff or has
other limitations. The Shingle-Ply membrane provides a shingle look and
the watertight performance and durability of a thermoplastic, single-ply
roofing system.
Our Shingle-Ply product is made from the same strong membrane as the
Duro-Last roofing system, a proven performer since 1978. The shingle
design is printed onto the membrane, then a special polymer coating is
applied to help protect the finish from marring, fading, and dirt
accumulation.
Shingle-Ply rolls are delivered to the job site ready to be unrolled,
positioned, and installed by an authorized Duro-Last contractor. Each
piece is aligned with the installed adjacent piece and mechanically
attached to the roof deck. Overlapping edges are heat-welded together,
forming a watertight, monolithic covering.
Flashings for penetrations and other transition areas are
precision-fabricated in a Duro-Last facility; there is no on-site
assembly of these components. The Shingle-Ply system is complete, with
all fasteners, flashings, edge details, and other materials delivered to
the job site. www.duro-last.com
