TPO Roofing

Choosing the right roofing materials is one of the most important decisions when building or renovating a property. Many prefer natural materials like wood or slate, but these kinds of roofing systems can be expensive.

TPO Roofing

TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, a synthetic polymer membrane that is changing the face of 21st-century roofing and roof design. Thermoplastics consist of a polymer, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, that manufacturers can heat and mold into various shapes.

TPO roofing uses a special membrane that gives the roof durability, energy efficiency, and other positive qualities. Farha Roofing installs, repairs, and maintains modern roofing systems, including roofs with TPO membranes.

The Benefits of TPO Roofing

If you’ve been considering a roof replacement or a roof installation but are worried whether your new roof will be worth the high cost, a TPO membrane roof with its fair share of benefits could be the answer to your problems. The TPO membrane roof offers many advantages over other conventional roofs.

Durability

The TPO membrane on your roof could last for decades. The UV reflectance of the TPO membrane protects deeper layers of the roofing material from the effects of UV radiation. TPO is also water resistant, which protects your roof from rain and snow.

UV Reflectance

As part of TPO’s broad-spectrum reflectivity, the material reflects ultraviolet light. UV rays can heat the roof’s surface. The material’s reflectance in the UV range contributes to its energy efficiency.

Heat Retention

In addition to TPO’s ability to reflect external heat sources, it can increase heat retention on cold days by acting as an insulator. Heat rises within buildings, so the ability to retain heat can stop heat loss, decrease heating costs, and improve the effectiveness of your HVAC system.

Fire Resistance

TPO meets the highest standards of the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for protection from fire. The roof is a point of vulnerability for fires, especially in buildings with flat roofs. If an ember from a nearby tree or adjacent property lands on your roof, it could start a fire. Protect your property from the spread of fires with a new TPO roof.

Customizability

Homeowners and small business owners often look for ways to personalize their properties. The ease of painting TPO and the ability to add extra layers to increase insulation make it easy to adapt your roof to meet your needs.

Light Color

Unlike many roofing materials, TPO is white or light in color. The TPO membrane lends a bright, breezy look to the property. The white appearance of TPO makes it easy to paint over it with a bright, aesthetically pleasing color. If you paint over TPO roofing with elastomeric paint, you can do so without using a primer, saving you time and money.

Is the TPO Membrane Right for You?

Does your home or business property have a flat roof? TPO roofing is ideal for flat roofs because it cools the area by reflecting UV radiation.

Without the TPO membrane, sunlight falling on the roof will heat the surface. The heat will radiate through the roof deck and into the room below. TPO reduces the effect of sunlight and cooling costs for flat-roofed buildings.

TPO Roofing Material

Farha Roofing provides TPO roofing from the leading manufacturers in the roofing industry, including GAF, Johns Manville, and Versico. You can trust these materials to be long-lasting, energy-efficient, and versatile.

TPO Roofing Installation 

The roofing technician applies a layer of insulation foam to the roof surface and rolls a layer of the TPO membrane. Two roofing elements hold the TPO membrane in place: an adhesive layer between the membrane and the insulation layer and fasteners that screw into the roof deck. TPO roofing installation for a larger commercial roof typically takes longer to install than a PVC roof because TPO is heavier.

TPO Roofing Cost

TPO roofing material is a cost-effective roofing choice, being less expensive than other common synthetic roofing choices, such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber. You can save money on roofing without sacrificing quality. We calculate TPO installation costs per square foot.
