- No disruption during business hours. When installing Duro-Last Roofing System, it will not interrupt your business flow during business hours. Large and loud machinery is not required to install the roof, therefore is will not disturb your customers. They might not even realize that there is a roof being installed.
- It can be installed during year-round with no messy clean-ups. All Duro-Last roofing is pre-measured and pre-cut with all accessories included so the job can be done quickly. Since there are no messy materials to use, customers and employees will not be exposed to any dangerous vapors or potential fire hazards during the installation.
- Duro-Last is Fire Resistant. Its polymer thermoplastic coating will not burn. It is regularly rated effective against light to severe fire exposure. In other words, Duro-Last will stay strong even during harsh and unexpected conditions.
