Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply roofing membrane that is considered as one of the fastest-growing roofing systems for commercial buildings. A TPO roof is made up of propylene, ethylene, rubber and fillers. If you are not sure what type of roofing system you need to install on your commercial building, consider the several advantages offered by TPO roofs.
-
Extreme Durability
Since a TPO roofing system consists of a rubber compound reinforced with polyester fabric, it can provide a maximum level of protection against adverse weather conditions, including ultraviolet (UV) and chemical exposure. It can also withstand punctures, tears, corrosion and bacteria. When maintained properly, a TPO roof can last for at least three decades.
-
Ease of Installation
Unlike other types of commercial roofs, a TPO roofing system is lighter in weight and available in wider sheets. This means that it will not take much time or effort to install, resulting in a reduced cost of installation. Be sure to hire a reliable and trustworthy roofing contractor to perform the work to avoid potentially costly problems in the future.
-
Improved Energy Efficiency
Another reason to install a TPO roof on your property is that it reflects the harmful heat and UV rays from the sun. With a TPO roof, you can reduce the energy consumption and, therefore, energy costs of your building throughout the year. This makes it an excellent option for a cool roof. Plus, a roof that absorbs less heat allows for a more cozy and comfortable interior space.
-
Versatile Design
Versatility in design is another exciting benefit of TPO roofs. This roofing system comes in an array of colors, including white, gray and tan. Since flat roofs are not highly visible, they do not usually cost extra to look as appealing as sloped roofs like shingles.
