At Duerson, we install Duro-Last Roofing Systems on the commercial flat roofs we work on throughout the Midwest. If you’re considering a new roof installation with Duerson, check out some of the most frequently asked questions about the Duro-Last roofing system so you know all the basics before making the investment.
What Is Duro-Last Roofing?
Duro-Last is a single-ply PVC roofing membrane ideal for flat and low-sloped roofs. It is available as a custom-fabricated system or in standard roll sizes as well as custom-cut roll lengths. Duro-Last membranes are durable, highly reflective, resistant to most chemicals, and are also self-extinguishing after fire exposure.
What Is Custom-Fabrication?
When you install a custom-fabricated Duro-Last Roofing System, up to 85% of the seams can be completed in a factory-controlled environment before your roofing system is delivered to the job site. This process saves time, increases installation quality, and protects your building. Duro-Last also manufactures custom-fabricated accessories to provide easier and faster installation of your new flat roof.
What Is PVC Roofing?
PVC, which stands for polyvinyl chloride, is a single-ply membrane used on flat or low-sloped roof surfaces. PVC membranes are flexible, lightweight, and resistant to chemicals. They are typically made of two layers of PVC film and a fabric that helps provide strength and durability.
Should I Clean a Duro-Last Roof?
Routine roof washing is a great step to add to your maintenance plan to help maintain the appearance of your roofing system and the solar reflectivity on white membranes. Cleaning your Duro-Last roof can free it from biological growth, dirt, and debris.
How Can I Maintain a Duro-Last Roof?
Even though Duro-Last Roofing Systems are made to withstand the elements and provide long-term protection, general routine maintenance can go a long way in protecting your investment. In addition to regular inspections by a roofing professional like Duerson, you should plan to check your roof at least twice a year for any potential damage and regular clean-up.
Does Duro-Last Offer Different Colors?
Duro-Last Roofing Systems are available in white, grey, dark grey, tan, and terra cotta colors. These color options let you decide whether you want your roof to stand out or blend in with the natural surroundings of where you live.
What Do Duro-Last Roofing Warranties Cover?
Duro-Last offers comprehensive warranty coverage in 25- and 30-year options to provide unmatched protection for your commercial flat roof. There are warranty options available that include material and labor coverage along with hail and high wind protection.
