TPO roofing is the single ply roofing that is the latest in long lasting commercial roofing that creates a water tight barrier on flat and pitched roofs that lasts for many years. Used for new installations or re-roofing jobs, TPO is a cost effective product for roofs or any size.
TPO roofing, or thermoplastic olefin, is a single ply membrane that is applied over virtually any surface. It is inherently resistant to hot sun, ultraviolet rays and ozone. TPO is made from ethylene propylene rubber and its installation is environmentally safe. The completed applications are often referred to as monolithic or seamless but actually do have seams. These seams are 3 to 4 times as strong as the adhesive or tape seams of EPDM roofing.
TPO roofing is often fiber reinforced and can be plain of fleece backed. It is either self adhesive, adhered, fastened or ballasted with a river rock layer for weight and reflectivity.
TPO roofing provides many benefits to commercial roofing including:
Extreme tear resistance against not only the elements but foot traffic from recreation, bikes and even patio furniture.
Weather resistance to high winds, hail and hot sun with high UV radiation.
Cool Roof Compliant when properly installed with the correct solar reflectance.
Long lasting. Life spans from 10 to 20 years depending upon thickness and conditions.
TPO provides a long lasting, cost effective, energy efficient surface for any commercial building of any size. For a new installation or the replacement of the existing roof of large manufacturing facility or a small retail building, TPO is the perfect solution.

ReplyDeleteCan you compare this product to metal roofing? I am looking at replacing my roof, and as far as I can tell, metal roofing offers the best bang for my buck at this point. I even found a few reputable commercial roofing companies that have done installs in the past, and are available to complete the roof on my home. If you can show me how this stacks up to the other offerings on the market, I would be much obliged! Thanks
ReplyDeleteYes TPO is for flat roofs and metal roofs are for pitched roofs i.e houses..
