Home to Tru-Kote's headquarters and known as the RV Capital of the World, Elkhart is a thriving manufacturing hub with over 50% of North America's RVs produced here. Tru-Kote has been protecting Elkhart's massive manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and homes for over 40 years.
Why Elkhart Roofs Need Special Care
Wind Damage
Elkhart's location in the open Midwest means our buildings face damaging winds from severe storms and frontal systems throughout the year. High winds can lift roof edges, tear membrane seams, and damage flashing at vulnerable transition points. Tru-Kote installs enhanced wind-resistant attachment systems rated for Elkhart County's extreme wind exposure.
Large Span Structures
Elkhart's massive RV manufacturing facilities feature some of the largest roof spans in the region, often exceeding 100,000 square feet. These expansive roofs face unique challenges including structural stress concentration at transitions, complex HVAC penetrations, and wind load management. Our engineering approach handles these industrial-scale challenges.
Manufacturing Emissions
The chemical emissions from RV manufacturing processes including painting, coating, and composite fabrication can degrade conventional roofing materials. Our Duro-Last PVC systems are specifically formulated to resist chemical attack from these industrial processes, making them the preferred choice for Elkhart's manufacturing community.
