What is TPO Roofing?
TPO roofing, or thermoplastic polyolefin, is a single-ply roofing membrane added as an extra layer to protect the roof. It is lightweight, waterproof, and UV-reflecting, safeguarding roofs from rain and extreme heat, perfect for Phoenix, Arizona’s challenging climate. TPO roofs are also puncture-resistant. This seamless protection makes them an especially popular choice for commercial roofing. Our team of professional contractors at Geo Roofing has the expertise necessary to apply this protective membrane, making us the go-to choice for TPO roofing.
When applying a TPO Roof membrane, the seams are overlapped and then heated. The solid material temporarily becomes fluid, allowing it to completely fuse before solidifying. This process creates a seamless, waterproof, single-ply roofing system.
Using TPO Roofing for Commercial Buildings
TPO reduces cooling costs by reflecting ultraviolet rays and deflecting heat. If you factor in the energy savings, this already inexpensive roofing option pays for itself over time.
This material is typically applied over an existing roof, eliminating the need to remove old roofing material. This significantly reduces labor, making it a less expensive option than a complete teardown to the cover boards and new roof installation. It also keeps old roofing material out of landfills, which benefits the environment.
How You Will Benefit from TPO Roofing
- Cost-Effective: No further roofing repair or installation, reduced energy costs, and no required maintenance.
- Energy-Efficient: UV resistance and heat reflection make it easier to heat or control the temperature inside the building.
- Environmentally Friendly: Meets Energy Star standards and reduces the amount of old roofing material in landfills.
- Waterproof: During monsoon season, a waterproof system is crucial for Phoenix-area buildings and homes.
- Insulation: An additional insulation layer can be laid under the single-ply membrane to increase the R-value and energy savings even further.
- Warranties: Most of the brands we work with offer commercial warranties for material and labor and ones that are transferrable to the next owners.
