TPO Roof Replacement
Membrane Systems
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. This type of roof is a single-ply membrane that is often accompanied by insultation. You can choose between different thicknesses. The membrane is held in place with adhesives, mechanical fasteners, and heat welding. The result is a barrier that prevents water from getting underneath the membrane.
This type of roofing is ideal for all climates as it keeps out water, snow, and ice. Once it’s installed, you have the roof deck, followed by the insulation system, held down by fasteners and plates with bonding adhesive to attach the TPO membrane.
You may hear these products mentioned with additives, such as talc, fiberglass, EPDM or EPR rubber, or carbon fiber. The additives increase the durability of the membrane. They may also include fire retardants, lubricants, pigments, antioxidants, and UV absorbers to increase the versatility and benefits.
When you buy a reinforced TPO roof membrane for your structure, you get the base layer with strength, flexibility, and adhesion. The middle layer, which is known as the scrim, has a polyester mesh for structure and resistance to punctures. The top layer contains UV blockers to help keep the building cooler.
What are the Benefits of a TPO Roof?
When you choose a TPO roof for your structure, you get a more durable produce. The TPO roof is more resistant to punctures and minimizes the chance of leaks. It’s also more energy efficient to reduce the amount of heat that’s absorbed. Installing a TPO roof is a cost-effective solution with a faster installation. It also resists a variety of weather issues over the long-term. The seams are welded to create a tight roofing system that stands up to almost anything.
