              Quality and Sustainability at Duro-Last Roofing

      As the endless green-washing of America continues, the

sustainability/green movement continues to pervade all aspects of our

society.  A key element under the umbrella of sustainability is

durability.  More and more the expectation of green extends into

product lifecycle and environmental impact.

   In the manufacturing environment, functional and effective quality

 management systems must be put into place to assure product performance.

 The Duro-Last roofing membrane has a 30 year life expectancy.  We are

confident in its performance because of the advanced quality systems we

have in place to assure its quality.

      Further, advanced quality systems should drive continuous

improvement in manufacturing, product properties and research and

development. Duro-Last has a functionally efficient and ever improving

manufacturing strategy as well as creative and innovative R&D projects

ranging from full recycling capabilities to incorporation of the roofing

membrane into photovoltaic and vegetative roofing systems.

Please join us as we share our Quality consciousness with you at

Duro-Last Roofing.

We look forward to seeing you....
