DECEMBER CE LUNCHES

     

Paint 201 | High Performance Coatings for Commercial Spaces

Commercial and light industrial projects typically require high-performance coating solutions to provide optimal performance against abrasion, chemicals, moisture and other harsh conditions common to these types of buildings. Technological advancements have created high-performance coatings that not only provide the aesthetics and durability your owners demand – there are also a variety of formulations that can help contribute towards green building certifications.

This course provides solutions to the most prevalent challenges found in busy commercial spaces so that you can specify the coatings best suited to the project type and conditions. We will also explore innovative coating technologies that combine performance benefits that meet the demands of commercial spaces as well as emit lower VOCs.

The custom-fabricated, single-ply PVC Duro-Last commercial roofing system is ideal for any flat or low-sloped application. Extremely durable and easily installed by authorized Duro-Last contractors without disrupting building operations, the Duro-Last Roofing System is also watertight, highly reflective, resistant to chemicals, fire and high winds, as well as low maintenance. Duro-Last is the only roof manufacturing company to offer prefabrication of the entire roofing system in our factory-controlled environment. Through our custom-fabricated commercial roofing systems – which can include both membrane and accessories – up to 85% of the seams are completed before it arrives on the job site. A custom-fabricated Duro-Last Roofing Commercial Roofing System is long-lasting, reliable and eliminates most of the on-site fabrication that can lead to roof leaks.
