TPO Single Ply Roofing
Single-ply roof membranes are among the fastest-growing flat and low-slope roofing products and are widely accepted for their many performance and installation advantages. There are several types of single-ply systems, including PVC, IB, EPDM, and TPO.
At Heritage Roofing, we install thermo-plastic polyolefin (TPO) due to its advanced installation techniques (hot air welded) and its associated high strength and durability. TPO is highly resistant to tears, impacts, and punctures and has good flexibility to allow for movement in the building. TPO roofs are also easy to maintain and repair by a roof specialist.
TPO membranes offer design options in reflective white, light tan, and light gray colors. The white and tan membranes carry an Energy Star rating, meet the new version of the California Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards, and are listed with the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC).
Properly installed TPO roof systems have service lives ranging from about 15 to 20 years, depending on the type of installation. Full removal of the existing roof, the amount of slope to the roof, weather conditions, maintenance, and other criteria contribute to the longevity of a roof’s service life. However, proper installation is the number one ingredient in a sound roof system.
