First introduced in the 1990s, thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) refers to the chemical composition of rubber used in this type of single-ply roofing membrane. Although a relatively new material, TPO has quickly become one of the most popular solutions for low-slope commercial buildings. TPO is heat-reflective, energy-efficient and cost-effective, which we understand is especially important for large commercial facilities. It’s one of the best solutions for schools, factories, manufacturing facilities and other large and other large developments. Learn more about the many benefits of this durable roofing membrane.
Energy Efficient
TPO is available in a variety of colors, but white is the most reflective for optimal energy and cost savings. Particularly for warmer climates, TPO roofing can help reduce high air conditioning costs.
Low Maintenance
Post-installation, TPO requires less repairs than other roofing membranes and minimal maintenance to keep looking great, on account of the material’s durability and strong resistance to the elements.
Resistance
Resistance to grease and perforations make TPO an ideal option for commercial buildings with frequent activity on the roof. TPO membrane is designed to be impervious to a variety of environmental factors, including:
- Chemicals
- Mold
- Fire
- Wind
