Duro-Last began in 1978 with the simple need to find a roofing system that worked. Existing roofing systems presented a common problem - they required ongoing maintenance and continual expense, with no long-term solution in sight.

Our Founder, John R. Burt, used his experience in fabricating pool liners to develop a remarkable new roofing membrane. Two years of additional testing resulted in the proprietary membrane formula still in use today.

Investigation of the roofing industry proved that the majority of roofing system failures then (and still today) are not due to the roofing system assembly itself but to workmanship on-site. To solve this problem we brought our roofing system "in-house" developing custom prefabrication methods and specialized equipment that allows us to complete nearly 100% of the difficult roof details and up to 85% of field seams under ideal factory controlled conditions. The result is lower on-site labor costs and better installation quality.

Duro-Last is now the world's largest manufacturer of prefabricated roofing systems. The Duro-Last Roofing System, contractor installation team, customer service and warranty all set the quality standards for the roofing industry.

History:

The Stanley Family founded IB Roof Systems in 1978 and had the foresight to promote thermoplastic roofing membranes that were foreign to the roofing industry. Since then, IB Roof Systems has gone from a back of the home business to a multi-million dollar business with locations in Eugene, OR, Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, and Chicago, IL.

One of the first commercial applications using IB single ply was a mechanically attached roof on Harrisburg High School in Harrisburg, Oregon.

'Systems' is the key word in our name. Since 1978, IB Roof Systems has been designing and manufacturing roofing systems, not just materials. IB Roof Systems also limits the availability of our products to authorized installers. You can be assured that when a contractor is installing an IB Roof System, he or she is using the highest quality material from IB Roof Systems.

These factors give you the maintenance-free roof you want and the confidence you need to help put your roofing problems in the past.

Quality Products:

In order to meet that high standard of leak-free performance, you need to have a strong and reliable base. And that base begins with the formulation of the product. IB has stayed true to its time and performance proven formula and production process for 35 years by utilizing only the highest quality polymers, plasticizers, fire retardants, and UV stabilizers available to ensure a highly flexible and durable membrane. This formulation is then coupled and reinforced with an anti-wicking 9x9 denier polyester scrim that is highly resistant to solvents, acids, and bases because of the molecular bonds created during the manufacturing process.

Since 1977, Owens Corning has been a leading manufacturer of shingles and accessories for the residential roofing market. Though best known for our PINK® Fiberglas insulation, Owens Corning is also a leader in the roofing market.

Since Owens Corning invented glass fiber during the 1970s, it has become the material standard for shingles, and is used by most shingle manufacturers. The fiberglass composition of roof shingles plays an important role in protecting homes from moisture and other weather-related elements.
