Is a TPO Roof the Right Choice For You?

If you own a business, you have probably been introduced to Thermoplastic Polyolefin or TPO. This is a popular commercial and industrial roof option made of several synthetic polymers and reinforcing fabric scrim. It is a single-ply roofing membrane making the TPO the lone water barrier of the roof. To better understand its features, your local roofer will share some of its characteristics as a guide. 

• Ease of Installation. TPO is known to be lightweight and flexible because it has fewer seams. This makes it more convenient to set up and install. It is certain that the faster your contractor can complete your roof placement, the more savings you will enjoy on labor costs.

• Cost-effective. Keep in mind that flat roofing is an excellent value. TPOs are guaranteed to be affordable while lasting up to 25 years when installed and maintained regularly and adequately.

• Energy Efficiency. Choosing this material for your building is also beneficial when you opt to have lower energy bills. This roofing material is energy-efficient and a better option for the environment. This is primarily because a TPO roof will reflect the sun’s heat from your building, helping its interior stay cool during summer. This allows you not to rely as much on your HVAC system for keeping your spaces cool and comfortable.

• Durability. A TPO roof is designed to resist debris, bacteria, algae, and dirt; with the help of its flexible membrane, it can also withstand impact damage, punctures, and tears. It can remain efficient even after years of exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. 

• Weather-resistant. Flexible, lightweight material allows TPO Roofing to withstand inclement weather, and the bright white surface keeps your building’s occupants cool on even the hottest days.
