Duro-Last, the manufacturer of custom-fabricated single-ply thermoplastic roofing solutions, announced on Monday that it is expanding its high-quality commercial roofing solutions with the launch of the Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece TPO membrane product lines. 

The addition marks Duro-Last’s entry into the TPO market, complementing its premium PVC product line.

In a Jan. 20 news release, Duro-Last says that both Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece membranes feature Duro-Last’s anti-wicking, weft-inserted scrim with a density of 9 by 9 threads per inch — an industry first for TPO membranes — eliminating the need for seam sealant during installation. 

The company said this feature “enhances installation efficiency, saving contractors time and reducing material costs while delivering watertight performance and durability.” Additionally, each Duro-TECH membrane offers a robust top film thickness creating a “resilient performance layer that stands up to the elements.”

Duro-TECH TPO, available in 45, 60 and 80 mil thicknesses, is manufactured in roll widths of 10 inches, 30 inches, 5 feet and 10 feet — each 100 feet in length — providing contractors with versatile options to meet the needs of their projects.

Noting its ideal for applications over various substrates, Duro-TECH Fleece, manufactured in 10-foot by 100-foot rolls, offers an additional layer of performance with an 8-ounce-per-square-yard, needle-punched polypropylene fleece backing. 

Available in 45 mil (100 mil with fleece backing), 60 mil (115 mil with fleece backing) and 80 mil (135 mil with fleece backing), each roll of Duro-TECH Fleece features a 2.25-inch selvage edge to support more efficient hot-air welding to the underlying membrane.

“Expanding our product line to include Duro-TECH TPO and Duro-TECH Fleece TPO is a significant step for Duro-Last,” said Darren Schulz, president of Duro-Last. 

“Our commitment to quality and innovation has earned us a reputation in the industry that we’re incredibly proud of and now we’re bringing that same dedication to excellence to TPO,” Schulz added. “With this launch, we’re excited to offer our contractors more options to meet their customers’ needs while maintaining the reliability they expect from Duro-Last.”

The Duro-TECH line includes a full range of compatible, custom-fabricated accessories to streamline installation and provide seamless, watertight aesthetics. All Duro-TECH TPO membranes are supported by Duro-Last’s thorough quality assurance inspections, which ensure each installation meets the highest standards. In addition to 15- and 20-year standard warranties, optional hail and high-wind coverage is available for enhanced protection.

A comprehensive line of TPO adhesives, TECH-Bond TPO Bonding Adhesive, TECH-Bond TPO LVOC Bonding Adhesive and TECH-Bond TPO Spray Adhesive, is launching in conjunction with Duro-TECH and Duro-TECH Fleece membranes. These solutions further enhance installation efficiencies and support the integrity of the Duro-TECH roofing system.
