Benefits of a TPO Roof System
TPO — or thermoplastic-olefin roofing — is a type of rubberized roofing system ideal for covering flat or low slope roofs. They are made of a single-ply rubberized material that is resistant to tears, breaks, as well as mold, and algae.
Thermoplastic-olefin roofing helps make your roof more energy-efficient and help reduce your energy bills. Saving money on energy bills is becoming a bigger priority for businesses everywhere. Having the right roof on your commercial building can make a major difference.

Benefits of TPO roofing include:
Tough, Long-Lasting Coverage
TPO roofs can withstand damage from many types of inclement weather, chemicals, bacteria, algae, corrosion and more! With regular maintenance, TPO roofs may even last upwards of 30 years.
Environmentally-Friendly
Unlike many roofing materials, a TPO roof can be almost 100% recycled once it has reached the end of its usefulness. Some manufacturers even incorporate old TPO roofs in the bottom portion of new roof membranes.
Waterproof Construction
TPO roofs let you enjoy the comfort of total leak protection. They hot air-welded seams to prevent water from penetrating its surface.
Cost-Efficient TPO Roofing Installation & Repairs
TPO roofs use synthetics, composites, and reinforcing scrims to provide a weather-proof seal quickly and efficiently. Since they don't have big seams, they are less likely to need attention for leaks or other unexpected repairs.
Energy Bill Savings
A TPO roofing membrane reflects harmful UV light. This can cool your structure, reducing your HVAC, and helping you pocket all that money that usually goes to your air conditioning bill.
How Are TPO Roofs Different From Traditional Flat Roofing Materials?
TPO is designed to reflect UV rays, limiting the amount of exterior heat that gets into the building. This lowers the need for air conditioning, helping reduce your utility bills. Since TPO roofing reflects sunlight, it can do a better job of cooling your building. Other systems like EPDM roofing have a darker colored surface that attracts heat and causes skyrocketing utility bills.
TPO is very durable and long lasting, limiting the cost of repairs or replacements down the road. While EPDM is similarly tough, TPO has a slight edge on durability. As an added benefit, both TPO and EPDM roofing is made from recycled plastic and is are very environmentally friendly.
TPO roofing is an ideal commercial roofing type because it is applied in large rolls fully adhered and mechanically fastened or ballasted. Its durable material is essentially waterproof and reflective of UV rays.
For a commercial building, TPO is one of the most cost-effective methods to make your roof energy efficient and can help save money on energy costs.
