What is TPO Roofing? - Texas Flat Roof Company
What is TPO Roofing?
More and more frequently we are asked, what is TPO? There is an ever increasing demand for durable yet lightweight and energy efficient roofing systems. TPO roofing membrane was created specifically to meet that demand. Because these single ply membranes offer superior resistance to UV damage, the elements and chemical exposure; TPO is quickly becoming the commercial roofing system of choice- especially in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
TPO is short for Thermoplastic Polyolefin which refers to polymer blends containing various mixtures of rubber, polypropylene, polyethylene and reinforcing filler. TPO roof membranes are a blend of polypropylene and ethylene propylene polymers encapsulating a reinforcing sheet of polyester membrane.
TPO membrane is modified with UV absorbing agents, flame retardants and other proprietary substances designed to produce superior physical properties. We won’t go any further into the chemical details but, if you’re into such mental gymnastics, a good resource may be found here.
At Lone Star Flat Roof Construction, LLC., we value your time. Give us a call and speak directly to a Manufacturer Certified expert who can answer your questions immediately. You may request product samples, system mock ups and literature. Better yet, let us take you up on one of our TPO roofs for a walk through. You won’t be asking, “what is TPO” for long.
There are primarily two different types of TPO membranes and two different methods of TPO application. In the section linked to above, we discuss the differences between standard and FleeceBACK™ TPO membranes and describe both fully adhered and mechanically fastened TPO roofing systems. We also explain the pros and cons between the various TPO membrane thicknesses.
