 The Shingle-Ply Roofing System From Duro-Last®
Duro-Last Roofing's Shingle-Ply system delivers the perfect combination of watertight integrity and aesthetics. It's ideal for government facilities where appearance is important, but conventional shingles are not practical because the roof may not provide good water runoff or has other limitations. The Shingle-Ply membrane provides a shingle look and the watertight performance and durability of a thermoplastic, single-ply roofing system.
Our Shingle-Ply product is made from the same strong membrane as the Duro-Last roofing system, a proven performer since 1978. The shingle design is printed onto the membrane, then a special polymer coating is applied to help protect the finish from marring, fading, and dirt accumulation.
Shingle-Ply rolls are delivered to the job site ready to be unrolled, positioned, and installed by an authorized Duro-Last contractor. Each piece is aligned with the installed adjacent piece and mechanically attached to the roof deck. Overlapping edges are heat-welded together, forming a watertight, monolithic covering.
Flashings for penetrations and other transition areas are precision-fabricated in a Duro-Last facility; there is no on-site assembly of these components. The Shingle-Ply system is complete, with all fasteners, flashings, edge details, and other materials delivered to the job site. www.duro-last.com

| | | Pushing the green envelope at the U.S. Postal Service
In the last year or two, it seems that more and more corporations have been hopping on the green bandwagon. Suddenly, CEOs, marketing executives and ad agencies are eager to position their respective companies as "environmentally friendly." Green initiatives, however, are nothing new to government agencies.
