The time has come for a roof to last nearly the life of a building. Duro-Last Inc. is announcing a sustainable, 50-year commercial, low-slope roofing system that significantly lowers replacement costs and reduces building materials entering the waste stream. Duro-Life 600 Roofing System is the result of a collaboration between two trusted leaders in commercial roofing and construction, Duro-Last and DuPont.
Ideal for schools, hospitals and commercial buildings that demand energy efficiency for decades, Duro-Life 600 reduces the maintenance, repair and replacement costs over conventional roof assemblies.
When Duro-Last was creating a more sustainable roofing system that called for insulation, DuPont Styrofoam Brand Deckmate Plus Insulation was a preferred choice. Known for protecting residential homes from water, air and Mother Nature, DuPont Styrofoam Brand Insulation provides unparalleled performance on commercial roofs too. The traditional blue or new, low-GWP grey insulation (color varies by region) provides industry-leading thermal, moisture resistant and dimensionally stable insulation, with a 50-year reuse and thermal warranty for lowering the embodied carbon of the system at reroof.
The collaboration was natural fit, as both companies share a culture of sustainability. Duro-Last has recycled more than 80 million pounds of PVC material through sustainable manufacturing operations. DuPont is driving product embodied carbon reduction in support of its Acting on Climate 2030 sustainability goal, including innovating the ST-100 product that achieves 94 percent lower embodied carbon compared to previous formulations. Additionally, Styrofoam Brand insulation is made from a minimum of 20 percent pre-consumer recycled content and 100 percent of the electricity used to produce it comes from renewable energy sources.
