What is TPO Single-Ply Flat Roof & What are the benefits?
Thermoplastic Polyolefin
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It is a single-ply roofing membrane that is made from a combination of synthetic polymers and reinforcing scrim.
Benefits of TPO Single-Ply Flat Roofs on Commercial Properties
- Durability: TPO membranes are highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, hail, and UV radiation from the sun.
- Energy efficiency: TPO membranes are reflective, which helps to keep buildings cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This can lead to significant energy savings.
- Low maintenance: TPO membranes are relatively low-maintenance and do not require as much upkeep.
- Cost-effectiveness: TPO membranes are a cost-effective roofing option, especially when compared to other single-ply roofing membranes used for commercial and industrial buildings. In fact the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) reported that TPO currently takes up about 40% of the commercial roofing market share.
