MIRO Industries, Inc. and its founders and officers have accumulated years of experience in the roofing industry, including industrial and commercial roof inspection, analysis, and renovation design engineering. Their experience and expertise have caused MIRO Industries, Inc. to seek a solution to the common cause of roof failure and there is a solution...
MIRO Industries, Inc. produces various models of pipe and conduit Pillow Block Pipestands. The base of each pipestand is gently curved to prevent gouging and ripping the roof membrane. The pipestands are designed to absorb the friction from thermal expansion and contraction reducing the friction from pipe movement that normally damages the roof.
