TPO single-ply membrane roofing is growing in popularity as demand increases for heat-reflective and energy efficient roofing systems. It provides exceptional resistance to UV, ozone, and chemical exposure. And, the seams are welded to provide superior strength ? reportedly three to four times as strong as EPDM's adhesive and tape seams. Clients who chose TPO will also benefit from its high resistance to tears, impact, punctures; and its enviable flexibility, which accommodates building movement.
The size of TPO membrane varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but usually comes in widths of six to six-and-a-half feet and one-hundred feet in length. It is available in two thicknesses, 45 mil and 60 mil., and a subdued palette (i.e., white, light gray, and black). When properly installed (i.e., fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted), TPO membrane roof systems can last upwards of 20 years.
