SINGLE PLY:

 

“What is TPO” ?

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages. As demand increases for heat-reflective and energy efficient roofing systems, TPO single-ply roofing membranes continue to provide exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemical exposure.

 

TPO and PVC roof systems

Versatile, customizable, energy efficient.

The PVC roofing membrane has an extensive installation history in the roofing industry. First installed in the early 1960’s, PVC was the industry’s answer to the oil crisis, as it was the first membrane to contain half of the fossil fuels normally used in system manufacturing.

Engineers discovered that adding additional solid plasticizers to the PVC membrane allowed for additional weatherability and flexibility, where the membrane alone would be more susceptible to seasonal climate changes. PVC membranes are incredibly versatile and chemical resistant. They are available in a variety of colors, thicknesses, widths, and reinforcements, making them an excellent option for almost any roofing project. PVC roofing is highly recommended for roof-over projects.

Along with the environmental benefit of using (fewer) fossil fuels in the manufacturing process, PVC is highly reflective/UV resistant, making the membrane an energy efficient option for warmer climates.

 

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) History and Benefits

Cost-effective, recyclable, ENERGY STAR rated.

TPO roof systems have been installed in the U.S. for the last 30 years. TPO membranes are made with a co-polymerized rubber that allows them greater flexibility in cold climates.This membrane is best recognized for having the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems, at a more economical cost. TPO membranes are white and highly-reflective, making them an excellent choice for those looking to reduce energy costs. In addition to being ENERGY STAR rated, TPO’s recyclability makes it an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious.
