active duty military, reservists and service disabled veterans of the

Cool
Zone® Roofing System
For a roofing system to be considered truly high performance, it should
offer superior sustainability. Sustainability in roofing involves
avoiding or minimizing the impacts of a building on its occupants and
the environment, both local and global, from design to construction,
through maintenance, rehabilitation and eventual demolition with an
emphasis throughout its life cycle on using natural resources
efficiently.
The Duro-Last® Cool Zone® roofing system delivers the Five E's
of high-performance roofing: Energy, Environment, Endurance, Economics,
and Engineering.
Over a billion and a half square feet of Duro-Last membrane have been
installed on buildings of all types throughout North America.
