Brandon Whitmore Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 From what I know it is a custom factory made roof covering. I believe it is one of the only flat roof system's out there that will not void their warranty with standing water on the roof. The one's I have seen have looked good. Tougher than any other roofings? Depends on who you talk to. I would just say it is a good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Originally posted by citrusxyz what are durolast roofings? is it tougher than any other roofings? It's a darn good roof covering. It can withstand ponding water because the product started out as swimming pool liner material. It's tougher than EPDM but not anywhere near as tough as modified bitumen. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaRoofer Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 My opinion is its a glorified tarp. Ok maybe a little better than a tarp. A good epdm roof will outlast a durolast. And durolasts standard membrane is only 35 mils vs epdms 45. Ponding doesn't effect epdm. It will eat at the seams though over time. Ponding is no good for any roof. Remove the ponding and use epdm. Theres also reinforced epdm thats just as puncture and tear resistant. Plus you can get a puncture warranty from some epdm manufactures on the reinforced membrane.

pfelber Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Durolast roofing is a torch applied roofing product. It's a great roof system no doubt about it. In my opinion not as tough as a hot/tar built up roof system though.

BornaRoofer Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow if you try and put a plastic roof on with a torch I want to film it for youtube. Its a mechanically anchored pvc roof and the seams are hot air welded with a special machine made just for that purpose. No flames please.
