Duro-Last® Expands Its Roofing Solutions

Duro-Last, a renowned leader in custom single-ply thermoplastic roofing systems, has announced an exciting expansion of its product offerings with the launch of two new lines: Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece TPO membranes. This strategic move enables Duro-Last to enter the TPO market, diversifying its already impressive portfolio that primarily consists of premium PVC products.

Innovative Roofing Solutions

The introduction of Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece TPO membranes represents a significant leap forward in commercial roofing solutions. These new products are designed to provide cost-effective and high-performance options without sacrificing the quality for which Duro-Last is celebrated. Both membrane lines are constructed with an exclusive anti-wicking, weft-inserted scrim, setting a new industry standard for TPO membranes. This innovative feature means that contractors can complete installations without needing seam sealant, thus streamlining the process and enhancing efficiency on the job site.

The Duro-TECH membranes stand out due to their impressive film thickness, which is the strongest in the industry. They are available in thicknesses of 45, 60, and 80 mil, offered in various widths including 10 inches, 30 inches, 5 feet, and 10 feet, all 100 feet in length. This versatility allows contractors to choose the best fit for their specific projects, regardless of the substrate.

Enhanced Performance with Duro-TECH Fleece

For applications where additional performance is required, the Duro-TECH Fleece option provides even greater durability. This variant incorporates an 8 ounces-per-square-yard needle-punched polypropylene fleece backing, enhancing the overall performance of the roofing system. The available thicknesses for this product line include 45 mil (100 mil with fleece backing), 60 mil (115 mil with fleece backing), and 80 mil (135 mil with fleece backing). Each roll features a 2.25-inch selvage edge, which facilitates more efficient hot-air welding to the underlying membrane and supports robust installations.

Commitment to Quality and Reliability

Darren Schulz, president of Duro-Last, stated, "The expansion of our product line to include Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece TPO is a significant step for Duro-Last. Our commitment to quality and innovation has built a strong reputation within the roofing industry. We are thrilled to bring that same dedication to the TPO sector, providing our contractors with additional options to meet their clients' diverse needs."

Along with the new membranes, Duro-Last has introduced a complete range of compatible accessories designed to streamline the installation process while ensuring watertight aesthetics. All Duro-TECH TPO membranes benefit from rigorous quality assurance inspections conducted by Duro-Last, guaranteeing that every installation meets the company’s stringent standards. Contractors can also take advantage of standard warranties ranging from 15 to 20 years, with optional coverage for hail damage and high winds.

Comprehensive Installation Solutions

To complement the installation process, three types of TPO adhesives are being launched alongside the new membranes: TECH-Bond TPO Bonding Adhesive, TECH-Bond TPO LVOC Bonding Adhesive, and TECH-Bond TPO Spray Adhesive. These adhesives are specially formulated to enhance installation efficiency and help maintain the structural integrity of the Duro-TECH roofing system.
