Sustainable Commercial Roofing

In terms of sustainable commercial roofing, one of the best products out there is Duro-Last.

Resistant to fire, chemicals, grease, high winds and punctures, Duro-Last easily accommodates wide temperature extremes. With it’s highly-reflective white membrane, Duro-Last delivers real energy cost savings for building owners and managers in virtually all climates by increasing solar-reflectivity and reducing the overall absorption of heat into the building’s roof.

According to the Duro-Last website:

“PVC roofing systems make an important contribution to sustainable buildings, and Duro-Last is proud to be a charter partner in the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Roof Products Program. Duro-Last is a leader in cool roofing solutions, and our Cool Zone® brand addresses the growing nationwide interest in sustainable roofing systems.

Of the white, single-ply products rated by the ENERGY STAR program, only the Duro-Last Cool Zone roofing system has retained reflectivity of greater than 85% after three years of weathering (based on ENERGY STAR roof products testing criteria). The high sustained reflectivity delivered by our white PVC roofing membrane is saving significant energy and money for building owners all over North America.

From lowering a building's energy consumption to helping facilities obtain LEED® credits to reducing the urban heat island effect, the Duro-Last Cool Zone roofing system is a leading sustainable building product.”

Another main selling point of installing Duro-Last on your commercial roof, is that it can be installed without disruption to building operations. Commercial contractors are able to install the membrane without the use of loud machinery, hazardous materials, noxious fumes, hot tar, or general mess. In many case, a new Duro-Last roofing system can often be installed over an existing roof without an expensive tear-off and replacement. This virtually eliminates dust or falling debris that might interfere with building activities or damage to potentially sensitive equipment.

Backed by a 15-year warranty and installed by authorized commercial roofing contractors, Duro-Last is a sustainable choice for retrofitting your commercial roof.

Flat Roofers Services Inc. is a 100% WSIB-insured commercial roofing contractor, whose managing partners have experience dating back to 1985. Flat Roofers is an authorized commercial installer with a superior knowledge of Duro-Last and supports the concept of retrofitting where applicable, as opposed to a complete replacement of the commercial roof, providing a cost-effective solution.
