Contractors Hub
At Tru-Kote Roofing, we provide contractors and architects with proven commercial flat roofing systems designed for performance, longevity, and code compliance. Every project is backed by our use of Duro-Last® membranes, EXCEPTIONAL Metals edge systems, and advanced installation methods that deliver superior results. This page is intended as a resource for contractors and architects to better understand the systems, components, and details we install.
PVC vs. TPO: Why PVC Leads
When comparing single-ply membranes, PVC consistently outperforms TPO in demanding commercial applications.
PVC Advantages
TPO Limitations
At Tru-Kote, PVC is our standard specification for most commercial flat roofing projects.
Jobsite safety is a non-negotiable standard. Our protocols include:
Daily OSHA-compliant briefings.
Fall protection and tie-off systems on every project.
Certified supervision of welding and induction operations.
Documentation available for GC and architect review.
Integrated Gutters
We install EXCEPTIONAL Metals integrated gutter systems, which provide:
Reduced chance of backup flowing into the eave
Better water management than standard external gutters.
Factory fabrication for precise fit and reduced field labor.
Full Coping vs 2-Piece Compression
Full Coping
Widely used, but introduce additional joints and fasteners.
2-Piece Compression metal Systems
Superior wind resistance, fewer leak points, much lower price point for the same coverage; often saving thousands of dollars compared to Coping.
We provide multiple membrane attachment methods to meet job-specific requirements.
Adhered Systems
Smooth finish, fewer penetrations, higher wind uplift resistance.
Mechanically Fastened Systems
Induction Welded Systems
Fasteners are installed beneath the membrane, welded with induction tools. This reduces penetrations, distributes load evenly, and improves aesthetics.
Kee (Ketone Ethylene Ester) Membranes
Kee membranes offer premium performance with:
Superior UV and chemical resistance.
Long-term flexibility in extreme weather.
Enhanced color stability.
Duro-Last® EV Fleece-Backed Membrane
A sustainable solution combining strength and efficiency:
Fleece backing adds puncture resistance and allows installation over rough substrates.
Highly reflective surface improves energy efficiency.
Contributes to LEED® points and green building certifications.
