An advantage of Duro-Last for Flat Roofs in Peoria IL is the material is pre-fabricated which eliminates almost all of on-site, rooftop membrane seaming. Seaming leads to errors and leak problems. Prefabricated roofing systems can be installed throughout the year. Adverse weather conditions will not necessarily prevent installation. A labor savings is achieved with this roofing material because prefabrication reduces the installation time.
When roof membrane seaming is required in the field, it is performed with hot-air welding methods. Cold or damp weather conditions do not affect the installation in any way. The single-ply prefabrication material significantly reduces waste during the installation. Only the precise amount of roof membrane necessary for roof coverage is ordered. This avoids ordering raw materials which results in waste.
