Duro-Last® Helps Buildings Qualify for Toronto Grants

Contractors can help their customers earn money toward installing an eco-friendly Duro-Last cool roof.

The city of Toronto now offers grant incentives for eco-friendly roofing systems, including cool roofs, on commercial buildings. Cool roofs are designed to reflect the sun’s rays and reduce heat build-up, mitigating dangerous urban heat islands that commonly develop in highly populated regions. Additionally, cool roofs have been proven to reduce energy demand for building owners, lowering long-term utility costs.

Toronto wants owners to install eco-friendly roofs to improve the overall quality of living in the city and deliver the following benefits:

• Save energy
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Reduce urban heat
• Capture stormwater
• Improve air quality

Incentive details:

• Available for industrial, commercial and institutional buildings in the city of Toronto
• Grant applications must be approved prior to commencing any work on the roof
• $2 – $5 per square-meter when installing a new cool roof membrane

Duro-Last cool roof solutions meet Toronto’s requirements.

White Duro-Last membranes are the ideal solution when looking for a cool roofing solution. By reflecting up to 88% of the sun’s energy, they can greatly reduce energy costs and improve a building’s efficiency.

Additionally, the Duro-Last Roofing System offers:

• Custom-fabrication of the roofing system, reducing labor and eliminating rooftop seaming at critical transitions.
• Recyclability at the end of the membrane’s useful life through the Duro-Last Take Back Program.
• Comprehensive warranty coverage for your building’s specific needs.
