Building owners have many options to consider when thinking about their roof. What separates Duro-Last roofs from the competition is their ability to create a durable, seamless barrier between the building and the environment. These roofs are great for industrial and commercial buildings with flat or gently sloped roofs. However, installing a whole new roof on your building can be a significant expense.
So, why should you consider investing in a Duro-Last roof for your building?
Duro-Last roofs offer a faster, less disruptive installation, durable high-quality fabrication, and long-term savings in repair and energy efficiency.
Dura-Last roofs are built using custom specifications and installed quickly and easily. Over time, they can even save owners money in heating and cooling costs. Continue reading to learn more about the many ways businesses benefit from choosing Dura-Last.
Quick and Easy Installation
Each Dura-Last roof is built to order using the exact measurements of the building’s roof. Often, the majority of fabrication work is done in a factory before the roof is shipped to the building site for final assembly and installation. In fact, up to 85% of every Dura-Last roof is assembled in a factory environment, rather than on-site.
This makes the Dura-Last roofing installation process much faster and less resource-intensive than other forms of roofing. Installing a Dura-Last product is as easy as sealing up the seams between the large custom roof panels. It doesn’t require loud equipment, smoke and fumes, obstructive scaffolding or large amounts of manual labor.
In some cases, Dura-Last roof membranes can even be installed directly over the existing roof, eliminating the need to tear up and remove old roof shingles or waste material. These factors mean that installing a Dura-Last roof is quicker and less disruptive to the building’s workers and customers.
Durable Fabrication
Dura-Last’s manufacturing methods make them durable and resistant to many types of damage. The roofs utilize a single-ply thermoplastic membrane, combined with bespoke fabrication that reduces the total number of seams. Dura-Last roofs are able to withstand fire, chemicals, temperature extremes, high winds and physical damage like punctures and tears.
Thanks to these factors, Dura-Last roofs have a much longer life cycle when compared to traditional roofing options.
Longterm Savings
The areas of a roof most likely to fail or fall victim to leaks and weather damage are the seams where two or more panels meet. In addition to a reduced number of seams, Dura-Last roofs are installed with custom flashing and cutouts to account for vents, chimneys and other objects on the surface of the roof. These practices reduce the chances of leaks and damage by making sure seams are as minimal and well-fitted as possible.
Typically, standing water that doesn’t drain quickly leads to leaks and water damage. However, Dura-Last’s sturdy seamless construction lowers the chances that water will reach a weak point between panels. This makes Dura-Last a great choice in areas with harsh winters or heavy rainfall.
While other types of roofs need to be regularly updated and repaired with patches, resealing and lengthy inspections, Dura-Last customers save time and money on maintenance.
Lower Energy Costs
Duro-Last’s white membrane reflects heat and sunlight and can reduce the cost of keeping buildings cool during the summer. The puncture and leak resistant material also helps the building trap heat inside during winter and save on heating bills. Depending on your location, tax rebates and other incentive programs may be available for building owners that want to reduce energy costs with environmentally friendly technology.
Conclusion
Overall, there are many reasons to invest in a Duro-Last roof. Although the initial cost may be higher than other roofing options, this expense can be offset by the significant long-term savings in maintenance and energy efficiency.
