Benefits Of TPO

With the proper maintenance and installation, single-ply membrane roofing can last from 10-20 years. There are other benefits with single-ply systems, such as:

• Insulation choices – Single-ply roofing systems exclude the insulation factor, so as a commercial roofing consumer, you have various options to select from for insulating a commercial roof.
• Installation choices – There are choices for how you can install a single-ply roof. It can be fastened or attached right to a roof deck, as well as affixed with different adhesives. It can even be welded through the heat in more difficult spots on a roof, such as areas where protrusions, projections, and chimneys are present.
• Resists Corrosion – TPO is resistant to corrosion and disintegration when it comes in contact with various materials. It is also resistant to mildew and algae and doesn’t necessitate pressure washing, so it is easy to maintain.
• Fire-Rated, Class A – Both TPO and EPDM membranes are Class A fire-resistant. During the production process, the manufacturer adds fire retardant chemicals to the composition of the material.
• Reflective and Penetrable – Most TPO is usually white and extremely reflective. While in contrast, EDPM is often black because of the membrane’s natural color and its retention of the sun’s rays.
