Thermoplastics

Single ply industrial roofing systems such as TPO and PVC membranes are great options if you want an economical and reflective roofing system. TPO and PVC roofing systems offer a wide variety of applications and roofing system configurations.

The Thermoplastic Advantage

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing industrial roofing products, and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages. TPO and PVC single-ply roofing membranes continue to provide exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemical exposure.

Membrane Details

Common thicknesses for TPO are 45 mils and 60 mils, but 80 mil thickness is also available when extreme impact and puncture resistance is needed. Most frequently, TPO systems are installed using fasteners in the seam area or by gluing the sheet to the insulation board (fully adhered).

Things to Consider

Like any good roof, the issues are mainly in the details. The workmanship that is done during the installation of the roof is ultimately going to be the difference in whether or not a TPO or PVC roofing system lives up to its warranty period. So give us a call, we have been doing this for more than a century!
