Called “cool roofs” Thermoplastic single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products

Thermoplastic single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages.  As demand increases for heat-reflective and energy efficient roofing systems, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes continue to provide exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemical exposure

Suitable for a variety of low slope commercial roofing applications, TPO is a sustainable roofing solution a wide range of building types.TPO also offers design options with membranes available in reflective white, tan or gray, which can help reduce a building’s cooling requirements.  White and tan UltraPly TPO membranes meet the new version of the California Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (Title 24). These standards define cool roofs in California to have a minimum three-year aged reflectance of 0.55 and a minimum thermal emittance of 0.75 for low-sloped nonresidential buildings.

Called “cool roofs” for their abilit y to reflect the sun’s energy, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofs coupled with insulation are an ideal commercial roofing system because of their performance, reliability and their ability
to significantly reduce the roof’s surface temperature. The light-colored roofing membrane increases in door comfort and saves on electricity bills by reducing the cost of air conditioning. Compared to PVC roofing, TPO has better puncture resistance , especially against hail, is environmentally friendlier and also costs less. Call today for a free estimate.
