TPO systems

TPO roofs (or thermoplastic polyolefin roofs) are roofing membranes designed to protect low-slope and flat roofs from water penetration. They’re energy-efficient, reflecting up to 87% of the sun’s rays from the building. TPO roofing could be a great option for your roof, so call Nations Roof to find out.

Features

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): TPO roof sheets are reinforced and contain UV stabilizers, fillers, pigments, and flame retarders.
TPO membranes are available in white, gray, and tan, in a variety of thicknesses and have labor and material warranties available for up to 30 years.
It can be installed in three different ways. Most commonly TPO roofs are mechanically attached, but a growing percentage are being adhered. Some are ballasted with river stone or pavers.

Benefits

TPO roofing systems are becoming very popular for their high resistance to UV rays, particularly in warmer climates.
With the ability to reflect nearly 87 percent of harsh sun rays away from a roof, a TPO roofing system can help reduce cooling.
TPO roofs have the added benefit of being resistant to environmental pollutants and chemicals, abrasions, tears, and punctures, making it highly versatile.
It provides LEED-credit qualification and some TPO membranes are Energy Star rated and Cool Roof Rating Council approved.
TPO membranes are a heat-weldable blend of polypropylene and ethylene propylene rubber components, which gives them more flexibility in colder temperatures without cracking or breaking.
TPO roofing systems require minimal maintenance and only require regular inspections and basic cleaning to keep it in good condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can water sit on a TPO roof?

Yes, water can sit on a TPO roof. However, we try to eliminate ponding water wherever possible and excessive ponding can negatively impact any roof. So it’s a good idea to take care of ponding sooner rather than later. Nations Roof’s expert roofing technicians can help.
Can you reseal a TPO roof?

TPO roofs don’t require resealing, but they can benefit from a new roof coating as they reach the end of their service life. An acrylic or silicone roof coating can restore a TPO roof and help retain its waterproof properties.
Is a TPO roof walkable?

TPO roofs are suitable for light foot traffic. However, heavy foot traffic should be avoided or a pathway membrane can be installed.
Does a TPO roof require an underlayment?

Underlayment between the insulation and the roof deck is sometimes required when installing a TPO roofing system. The professionals at Nations Roof can help you determine if your roof requires one.
Is a TPO roof built up?

No, TPO roofs are not necessarily built up. However, they can be installed over built-up roofs, and they can contain a layer of insulation similar to the layer of roofing felt on BUR systems, but the membrane itself is considered single-ply.
