Torch Down Roof Mobile Alabama

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is a common single-ply membrane commercial roofing type. Its naturally reflective surface has gained widespread acceptance in the industry.

40% of the U.S. commercial roof market is TPO, according to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used for the roof, wall, and floor insulation because it has the highest R-value per dollar of any insulation material.

 

What Exactly Is TPO Roofing, And How Does It Work?

In recent years, thick, single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membranes have emerged as one of the most popular options for commercial roofing systems.

Depending on the manufacturer, TPO membranes come in sheets with a width of 10, 12, or 20 feet. After that, the sheets are rolled up and delivered to the commercial facility.

TPO is white and highly reflective in most cases but can also be retentive in some cases. The lifespan of TPOs is estimated to be 15 to 20 years. If your roof is more than 25% saturated, it may be impossible to repair with a silicone restoration membrane system.

If you already have two layers of roofing and seams are too bad to repair, you’ll need to tear them off and replace them with a new TPO or a new roofing system.

Spray Foam Roofing

Spray foam roofing is a one-of-a-kind system that eliminates the source of leaks. It’s a low-maintenance option that is also good for the environment. The warranty on spray foam roofs can be renewed every 10-20 years.
