Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing has emerged as a popular choice for commercial and residential flat roofs due to its durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation. At Divergent Smart Builds, we specialize in providing high-quality TPO roofing solutions tailored to your needs. Here’s everything you need to know about TPO roofing.
What is TPO Roofing?
TPO roofing is a single-ply membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It is available in large sheets that are heat-welded together to form a seamless membrane. TPO roofing is known for its durability, flexibility, and energy-efficient properties.
Benefits of TPO Roofing
- Durability: TPO roofing membranes are highly durable and resistant to punctures, tears, and UV rays.
- Flexibility: TPO roofing is highly flexible and can adapt to the movement of the building without cracking or splitting.
- Energy Efficiency: TPO roofing membranes are available in white or reflective colors, which can help reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight and lowering rooftop temperatures.
- Ease of Installation: TPO roofing membranes are lightweight and easy to install, reducing labor costs and installation time.
- Low Maintenance: TPO roofing requires minimal maintenance and is resistant to mold, algae, and dirt buildup.
- Environmentally Friendly: TPO roofing is recyclable and can be repurposed at the end of its lifespan, reducing environmental impact.
Installation Process
- Surface Preparation: The roof surface is cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion of the TPO membrane.
- Membrane Installation: The TPO roofing membrane is rolled out onto the roof surface and adhered using heat-welding techniques.
- Seam Welding: Seams between membrane sheets are heat-welded together to form a seamless membrane that is resistant to water infiltration.
- Flashing Installation: Flashing is installed around roof penetrations, edges, and seams to provide additional waterproofing protection.
- Final Inspection: A final inspection is conducted to ensure the TPO roofing membrane is properly installed and sealed.
