Now that you’re planning a roof replacement for your home or business, it’s best to understand the different types of roofing materials so you know your options. You need a roof that offers reliable protection without going over-budget.
One of your best options is TPO roofing.
TPO or thermoplastic olefin roofing is a type of single-ply membrane roofing material that’s a more economical option than PVC. A TPO polymer base, a scrim or polyester-reinforced fabric center, and a thermoplastic polyolefin compounded top ply make up the three layers of a TPO roof.
There are several advantages you can enjoy if you ask your roofing contractor to install a TPO membrane over your home or place of business. Those include the following:
Economical. TPO is available through many roofing companies and it’s often one of the most affordable options for homes and businesses. It’s affordable yet it offers the same benefits as other options, such as PVC roofing systems. One of those benefits is its hot-weldable seam properties. Another is improved energy efficiency for your building.
Versatile. Different homes often require different roofing systems, but almost any home can benefit from the installation of a TPO roof. You can get this material in black, white, or grey, all of which are highly reflective, helping prevent heat transfer.
Durable. TPO is affordable, yet it’s also durable enough to withstand most weather conditions. It doesn’t harbor mold and doesn’t let dirt accumulate. TPO can resist impact and puncture issues. Even if your building expands and contracts with the temperature or with settling, your TPO roof can handle it.
Easy Installation. TPO roofing membranes are available in wider sheets. They are lightweight and have fewer seams too, so it’s easier for professionals to install them.
