NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 10, 2026) – Duro-Last, a member of the Amrize family of brands and a leading manufacturer of custom-fabricated single-ply roofing systems, announced today the availability of VADA® Vented Roof Systems and SWIF Rack™ Commercial Solar Racking through its national contractor network, expanding its portfolio with two performance-driven solutions designed to address evolving wind and solar demands.

 

Together, the systems reflect a broader shift in commercial roofing toward resilience, serviceability and integrated roof system design.

 

VADA® Vented Roof Systems: Reframing wind resistance

 

The VADA® Vented Roof System reframes how the industry approaches wind resistance. Instead of increasing field attachment to combat uplift, VADA® uses a patented perimeter design engineered to help ensure maximum wind uplift resistance by neutralizing pressure differential and addressing the root cause of wind-related failure.

 

Available for Duro-Last PVC and Duro-Tech™ TPO installations, this high-performance approach is now available at national scale, expanding access to resilience-focused roofing design as wind risk and extreme weather events continue to increase.

SWIF Rack™ Commercial Solar Racking: Defining solar preferred roofing

 

In response to continued growth in rooftop solar, Duro-Last also announced an exclusive partnership with SWIF Rack™, establishing a comprehensive solar preferred solution designed around real-world roofing challenges.

 

Traditional ballasted and low-profile racking systems can create access limitations, premature membrane wear and long-term service conflicts. Developed by a longtime Duro-Last contractor, SWIF Rack™ addresses these challenges by elevating solar arrays above the membrane using a Stanchion With Integrated Foot (SWIF) to attach the system through the roof assembly and directly into the building structure. This approach maintains unobstructed access to the roof while transferring photovoltaic loads away from the roof surface. The elevated design helps protect the roof assembly from compression and membrane degradation and supports the long-term performance expected from commercial roofing systems.

 

By pairing SWIF with custom-fabricated stack flashings and details, Duro-Last formalizes a more integrated relationship between roofing systems and solar arrays. The system allows maintenance, repair and even roof replacement without removing photovoltaic panels, shifting the focus from installation convenience to lifecycle performance.

 

“We are excited to expand the Duro-Last product offering with innovative, high-quality solutions that directly address the real challenges our contractors and building owners face,” said Darren Schulz, president of Duro-Last. “Both VADA Vented Roof Systems and SWIF Rack Commercial Solar Racking represent thoughtful engineering and practical innovation. By bringing these systems into our portfolio, we are strengthening our commitment to performance, resilience and long-term value for the commercial roofing industry.”
