            style=' '  width='600' height='300'  loading='lazy' decoding='async' /><br><h2>Owners and facility managers know that a Duro-Last roof can stand up to the Canadian elements.</h2>

<p>Duro-Last Roofing Systems are a popular choice for protecting a variety of buildings in Canada. Owners will appreciate the unique process of custom-fabricating the system in a factory-controlled environment, which means more watertight security with better seams and comprehensive warranty coverage. In fact, up to 85 percent of custom-fabricated Duro-Last seams can be completed ahead of time, drastically reducing rooftop labor and ensuring owners stay dry through the toughest elements. Additionally, the installation process doesn&rsquo;t use loud machinery or hot tar, meaning owners don&rsquo;t have to worry about down-time for their business.</p>

<p>The Duro-Last Difference goes beyond the installation process though, into the material itself. Knitted in-house, Duro-Last&rsquo;s anti-wicking polyester weft-insertion scrim has an 18 x 14 or 14 x 9 threads-per-inch density &ndash; among the highest in the industry. Duro-Last&#39;s scrim also uses a third tie yarn that prevents runs and doesn&#39;t allow tears to spread. The scrim is the backbone of all Duro-Last&rsquo;s membranes, giving them their strength and puncture resistance.</p>

<p>Another element of the Duro-Last difference is their thickness over scrim, or &ldquo;performance layer.&rdquo;&nbsp; With an enhanced thickness above the scrim that surpasses many competitors with the same overall mil thickness, Duro-Last Roofing Systems provide protection where your customers&rsquo; buildings need it most: the exposed surface of the membrane.</p>

<p>Finally, don&rsquo;t miss an opportunity to offer your Canadian customers the energy efficiency of a Duro-Last Roofing System. By reflecting up to 88% of the sun&rsquo;s energy, the reflective white Duro-Last Roofing System can greatly reduce energy costs for the owner, even in cool climates!</p>

Additionally, the installation process doesn&rsquo;t use loud machinery or hot tar, meaning owners don&rsquo;t have to worry about down-time for their business.</p>

<p>The Duro-Last Difference goes beyond the installation process though, into the material itself. Knitted in-house, Duro-Last&rsquo;s anti-wicking polyester weft-insertion scrim has an 18 x 14 or 14 x 9 threads-per-inch density &ndash; among the highest in the industry. Duro-Last&#39;s scrim also uses a third tie yarn that prevents runs and doesn&#39;t allow tears to spread. The scrim is the backbone of all Duro-Last&rsquo;s membranes, giving them their strength and puncture resistance.</p>

<p>Another element of the Duro-Last difference is their thickness over scrim, or &ldquo;performance layer.&rdquo;&nbsp; With an enhanced thickness above the scrim that surpasses many competitors with the same overall mil thickness, Duro-Last Roofing Systems provide protection where your customers&rsquo; buildings need it most: the exposed surface of the membrane.</p>

<p>Finally, don&rsquo;t miss an opportunity to offer your Canadian customers the energy efficiency of a Duro-Last Roofing System. By reflecting up to 88% of the sun&rsquo;s energy, the reflective white Duro-Last Roofing System can greatly reduce energy costs for the owner, even in cool climates!</p>

            class=''
            style=' '  width='600' height='300'  loading='lazy' decoding='async' /><br><p>By Evelyn Witterholt, RCS Reporter.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Four trailblazing women in roofing discuss the legacy of women in the industry and the push for inclusion.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In a recent <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/webinar/coffee-conversations-celebrating-womens-history-month" target="_blank">Coffee Conversations</a>, RoofersCoffeeShop&reg; highlighted the voices of four very important women working in the roofing industry today. RCS President Heidi J. Ellsworth spoke with our COO Karen Edwards, Kaci Atherton from McPartlon Roofing, Mackenzie Beldon from <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/beldon-roofing" target="_blank">Beldon Roofing</a> and LeeAnn Slattery from <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/atas-international-inc" target="_blank">ATAS International</a> about their amazing work in roofing. They also discuss the ways they are recruiting more young women into the industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kaci started in the medical industry, but after feeling burnt out, she turned to working in the roofing industry. Now, she works as a service coordinator for McPartlon Roofing and loves the support she&rsquo;s received from the roofing community, particularly the women she&rsquo;s met through <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nwir" target="_blank">National Women in Roofing</a> (NWIR).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;I was looking for something new,&rdquo; Kaci said. &ldquo;I happened upon my current boss, Hillary McPartlon. I was just so attracted to her vision for inclusivity of gender in this industry and her high standards for workplace culture.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karen has been working in the roofing industry for years and has an impressive background. Not only is she the COO here at RCS, but she also has her own consulting business, Casimir Group. Her journey in the roofing industry and adapting to this male-dominated industry was not an easy one. &ldquo;I&#39;m 5&#39;8&quot;. I wore couple inch heels too because I wanted to look men in the eye or look down on them, and I used that to my advantage quite often,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;There are things that you shouldn&#39;t even have to do, but you do.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although Mackenzie was encouraged to join her family&rsquo;s roofing business by her father, she attributes the success of their company to the matriarchs of the family. &ldquo;My great-grandmother, Ann Beldon, started the business with my great-grandfather, Morry Beldon,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;She actually was very involved in the day-to-day. She did not have a college degree, but the business was successful because of how she ran it.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>LeeAnn&rsquo;s background was in wall panel manufacturing before she moved into the roofing industry. While she was nervous at first about entering the industry with minimal knowledge, she found that her coworkers at ATAS International were still very supportive. She wants young people interested in joining the industry to learn from her experience of being inexperienced.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;I was so concerned about (my lack of experience), and they were not at all concerned,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;That&#39;s what I would like to tell the younger people as well, to not let something like that sway you from applying for a job because what you think might be a big deal, really might not.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/webinar/coffee-conversations-celebrating-womens-history-month" target="_blank">Listen to the entire Coffee Conversations</a> to hear more from these incredible women about their experiences in roofing and their collective push for inclusivity in the industry.&nbsp;</strong></p>]]></content:encoded>
