Thermoplastic Poly Olefin (TPO)

TPO is the fastest growing roofing system today. It is very popular in sun belt states due to it's reflective qualities.
TPO can be installed in a mechanically attached or fully adhered application. TPO is available in white, tan, and grey colors.

 

Advantages - Because TPO is a thermoplastic membrane, seams are welded together. It's high reflective qualities reduce, urban heat effect, and cooling costs.

 

Disadvantages - Because TPO is a single layer, it is reliant on a quality installer to provide long leak free performance. If not properly welded a seam may appear to be fused but can separate in a freeze thaw cycle.

Membranes may require cleaning to maintain their reflective qualities.
