What is TPO Roofing made of?
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is made of 3 major components. Polymer absorbs moisture and withstands damage, while polyester-reinforced scrim and TPO compounded top ply provide strength and water resistance, respectively.
How does TPO Roofing look?
TPO roofing is a flat and flexible membrane between 40-90 mils thick. It comes in several colors to match your style preferences, though the most common color is white, providing reflection and protection from the sun. It’s a versatile material that can be added to new and old roofs.
How is it installed?
The time for installation changes depending on the size of your roof. However, installation for TPO roofs is consistent. During installation, multiple roofing membranes are laid out less than a quarter inch next to each other before being secured by an adhesive. Then, the seams are sealed with hot air, creating a seamless and smooth finish.
What are the benefits?
Not only is TPO roofing easy to install and maintain, but it’s also water resistant, cost-effective, and energy-efficient. The typical lifespan of this roof is anywhere between 20 and 30 years. After its lifespan, it is 100% recyclable, perfect for the sustainable business owner. It’s also resistant to UV rays, mold, punctures, and dirt buildup, reducing the amount of maintenance needed. Most businesses save money on air conditioning when installing TPO roofing for their commercial roofing system. Its versatile and cost-effective composition makes it one of the most common single-ply roofing materials in the roofing industry.
