Parker, Colorado (3/6/2007) --- Johns Manville DuraBase® Asphalt-Synthetic Underlayment was the perfect solution to roofing a $1 million custom home in the exclusive Pradera subdivision in Parker, CO. Steve Bures Sr., president of Revelation Roofing Inc. of Denver said DuraBase offered a number of benefits as the underlayment for the 6,000-square-feet concrete tile roof.
“DuraBase went down just like felt, but it doesn’t tear,” Bures said. “This is important when roofing homes in Colorado’s high wind conditions.”
He also said that a roll of DuraBase weighs the same as felt, but there is twice as much product per roll, which makes it easier to move the rolls to and around the roof.
“The pitch on this roof was very steep,” Bures said. “The workmen said they liked working with DuraBase because it was much more walkable than felt.”
Revelation Roofing Inc. has been roofing homes valued between $1 and $4 million since 1994, and Bures has been in the roofing business since 1981.
