A majority of our commercial roof installations are done with Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes. Highly praised across the industry for performance and installation advantages, this heat-reflective and energy roofing system is a top pick for commercial buildings.

TPO is a single-ply membrane made up of synthetic material and a reinforcing scrim for commercial building flat roofs. These roofing systems are heat welded to provide durable coverage, beyond what is delivered with chemically bonded thermosets.

TPO is similar to PVC and KEE roofing systems and these Plastomers (or Thermoplastics) roofing systems cover 55% of commercial buildings across the United States.

As compared to asphalt (or gravel) type roofing systems, membrane roofing systems provide several distinct advantages. TPO more reliably provides a proper seal along the seams and connecting points. TPO roofs thus have fewer roof leaks and require less maintenance. When repairs are needed for TPO roofs, they are much less problematic and more easily resolved (because leaks are easier to located). Asphalt is also much heavier and requires more space. With the heat from the sun, this expansion and shrinking can lead to additional problems that are absent from TPO roofing membranes.

For your next commercial building re-roof or a new roof, we recommend that you leverage TPO single roofing membranes to now only deliver the benefits described, but also to provide resistance to ultraviolet, ozone, and chemical exposure of your building units. Extend the life of your commercial building with TPO roofing.
