Protect Your Roof With TPO Roofing
Next time you are gazing down on Chattanooga from Lookout Mountain, take note of the bright white rooftops you see on commercial buildings and other flat-roof structures - they most likely have TPO roofing. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a durable, cost-effective single-ply roofing installation that can be used on flat roofs or low-slope roofs. The pros at Residential and Commercial Restoration Chattanooga have years of experience installing TPO roofing and can tackle your roofing project, no matter how large or small.
TPO's single-ply membrane roofing systems are used for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, and are even found in some residential applications. There are many benefits to installing TPO roofing.
- Durability and strength
- Ease of installation and maintenance
- Energy savings
- Aesthetic appeal and color options
TPO roofing is a desirable option for homes and businesses due to the relatively low cost. TPO material comes in several colors, but the preferred application is commonly bright white and highly reflective, which allows for decreased energy output to keep larger buildings cool during the summer months. Due to its tightly sealed construction, TPO roofing offers excellent energy efficiency that is comparable to more expensive applications at a fraction of the cost.
TPO roofing also resists the growth of mold and mildew and prohibits the buildup of dirt and grime. It stands up to the elements and is impervious to punctures and tears. Its flexible nature allows for natural thermal expansion and contraction of the building. When it comes to saving money on cleaning and repair costs, TPO roofing is hard to beat.
"Thermoplastic" refers to a material that becomes pliable at an elevated temperature and then, upon cooling, solidifies. The name is a little misleading because TPO is not a plastic, but rather a rubber composite. The TPO membrane is composed of three layers:
- TPO polymer base
- Reinforced fabric center
- TPO compounded top ply
Using a hot air welder, the membrane is heated and then fused to a second membrane to form a watertight seam. To ensure that your TPO roof is installed properly, it's best to contact an experienced roofing contractor.
