What was the old roof?

The old industrial roofing was coal-tar built-up with slag over a gypsum deck that had been leaking badly for some time causing production to be moved around on the shop floor every time it rained. The roof is dead flat and creates countless areas of ponding water. The roof substrate was damp but not wet. The deck had an average fastener withdraw pull-test strength of only 200 LB.

What is the new roof?

The new roof is Duro-Last 40 mil pre-fabricated reinforced white PVC that eliminates up to 85% of on-site welding. The roofing membrane is mechanically attached through the old roofing material directly to the roof deck saving the expense of tear-off & new insulation and ensuring the most reliable resistance to high-winds.  Seams are welded with the safety of hot air and are permanent unlike taped seams.  The Duro-Last Supreme Warranty covers any consequential damage from leaks and has no required maintenance.  Duro-Last is Energy Star® rated and highly-resistant to the expansion & contraction that degrade black roofs.   No TPO is used to make Duro-Last, only PVC that has been proven over the last 40 yrs.
