This large commercial roofing project was completed in Lake Mary of the greater Orlando metropolitan area in Seminole County, Florida. Located in an industrial complex right outside of Orlando Sanford International Airport.

Older and failing Gypsum decking gave us limited options in a re-roof for this commercial space. Gypsum decking is essentially a drywall/concrete board material that’s a mixture of calcined gypsum binder, and wood chips or other aggregate; when mixed with water, it sets to a conglomerate mass used in years past for poured gypsum roof decks.

In years past, a fully adhered roofing system was the only method for re-roof.
Removing the gypsum decking presents a multitude of problems as that is akin to a drywall like material – It commonly falls apart, risking structural damage, and water intrusion to your commercial property.

Thankfully with our trusted partners at Duro-Last, we were able to come up with an ingenuitive system using the newly Florida Product Approved – Verafast Duro-Last Mechanical Fasteners, fastened to the current decking to pass our pull test with flying colors.

The Duro-Last two way vents allow the roof to breath properly, increasing the life expectancy, As well as alleviating moisture retention.
This type of ventilation also provides Negative Uplift Resistance that is critical for your commercial building in the state of Florida, where high wind events are a common occurrence.
This client saved over $1,000,000.00 with our proposed roofing system, as well as avoiding the headache of a painstaking gypsum decking tear off all while keeping their doors open.

Backed by a Duro-Last 20 year No Dollar Limit Warranty.
