WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN TPO ROOFING?
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane is one of
the fastest growing commercial roofing products and has gained widespread
industry acceptance for its many performance and installation advantages. As demand increases for heat-reflective and
energy efficient roofing systems, TPO single-ply roofing membranes continue to
provide extraordinary resistance to UV, ozone and chemical exposure.
Suitable for various low-slope commercial roofing
applications, TPO roofing membranes are a sustainable roofing solution for
various building types.
Below are reasons you should invest in TPO roofing:
VARIETY
TPO is built to match any type of commercial building. It’s
available in white, light grey, and tan reflective color options that are UV
resistant.
RECYCLABLE
TPO is also 100% recyclable, making it a favorite for many “green”
property owners.
COST EFFECTIVE
Because it’s both attractive and cost effective, TPO remains
a great flat roofing option. It offers both similar benefits to PVC roofing,
but at a much lower price point, while also being resistant to mold, tears, UV
radiation and heat.
LOW INSTALLATION COST
TPO roofs are made in wide, but lightweight sheets, making
them much easier to install with fewer seams. Although TPO is heat and
UV-resistant, repeated exposure and structural stress can affect its ability to
complete its life span. With regular repair and maintenance, just like any
other flat roof, TPO will perform their best and last as long as possible.
LOW COST MAINTENANCE
Compared to the majority of other roofing materials, TPO is
one of the lower maintenance alternatives available today. As with any other
flat roofing product, a periodic maintenance check should be done by a
professional and is a good way to ensure your roof remains leak-free and lasts
its full life cycle.
HIGH REFLECTIVE ENERGY EFFICIENT PROPERTIES
Commercial thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) also offers various
design options with panels available in reflective white, grey, or tan, which
can help decrease your buildings cooling requirements. Commercial TPO membranes
meet the new version of the Energy Star Energy ratings. These standards outline
cool roofs to have a minimum three-year aged reflectance of 0.55 and a minimum
thermal emittance of 0.75 for low-sloped nonresidential buildings.
Commercial TPO roofing systems also offer quick installation,
puncture/damage-resistant materials, excellent flexibility and adhesion to roof
fixtures.
