Cool Roofing Success Stories

When Ron Wolfe, general manager of the Diamond Vogel Paint Company (Nebraska Division), was looking for a durable, leak proof and energy-efficient roof, he put his trust in the Duro-Last Cool Zone Roofing System.

Duro-Last was the ideal solution to Wolfe's problems.  The high reflectivity of the Cool Zone System's white membrane helps lower energy costs.  Since the installation of Diamond Vogel's roof, this has become a tremendous benefit for Wolfe.  And because every Duro-Last Roofing System is prefabricated to a buildings exact dimensions and comes complete with all accessories, it is leak-proof and virtually maintenance-free.

"It was amazing to me the difference in our electric bills," said Wolfe.  "Before the Duro-Last roof was installed, our typical summer electric bill averaged in the $1,700 range per month."

"Now, it is consistently below $1,300 per month," he continued.  "I can only attribute the white reflective nature of the membrane to this advantage as we did not add insulation value during this re-roofing project."

Wolfe concluded, "The good news is not only do we have a leak-free roof, we also managed to reduce our utility costs as well."
