Because of Their Properties, TPO Membranes Roofs are One of the Fastest Growing Roofing Systems. They Provide Owners with Excellent Commercial Flat Roofs.
Curb Appeal Roofing and Construction is Expert in the Installation and Repair of TPO Membrane roofs.
"TPO" is short for "Thermoplastic Polyolefin" and are single-ply roofing membranes. TPO is made up of sheets that are a blend of polymers and are usually reinforced with polyester.
TPO’s properties make it highly desirable for commercial flat roofs:
- Can repeatedly soften with heat and harden with cold without losing its flexibility (making it especially well suited for Oklahoma’s weather extremes)
- UV absorbers protect against ultraviolet radiation
- It provides exceptional resistance to ozone and chemical exposure
- It's white color helps to reflect sunlight and reduce heat build-up
- It is flame retardant (increasing wildfire risks in Oklahoma make this an especially good roofing material)
- Has many installation advantages.
- To avoid the expense of tearing off an existing non-TPO system, TPO sheets are available with fleece backing that can be applied over an existing concrete or granular molecule roof, or can be mopped onto an existing hot asphalt roof.
- The seams of a TPO roof are heat welded with hot air to provide increased resistance to tearing. These qualities enhance puncture resistance, helping to protect the roof against hailstorm damage.
