Roofing Systems
TPO.
The most-installed commercial roof in North America.
Single-ply membrane with a white reflective surface that bounces sunlight off your building instead of letting it bake the roof. In Texas heat, that translates directly to lower cooling costs and a longer-lasting roof.
Best For
Retail, warehouse, distribution, office, and most general commercial buildings in warm climates.
Service Life
15-30 years.
The wide range is honest. A premium TPO roof installed correctly with the right thickness can run thirty years. A budget TPO roof rushed by an inexperienced crew can fail in fifteen. Thickness, installation quality, and drainage are the three factors that decide where your roof lands in the range.
How It Works
White, reflective, and heat-welded.
TPO is a single-ply membrane with a white reflective surface that bounces sunlight off your building instead of letting it bake the roof. In Texas heat, that translates directly to lower cooling costs and a longer-lasting roof. The seams are heat-welded, which means once they’re done right, they’re stronger than the membrane itself.
Operational Profile
Low maintenance. High energy performance.
Low maintenance, minimal install disruption, moderate foot-traffic tolerance, high energy performance. The reflective surface is the differentiator: TPO is one of the few systems that actively lowers your operating costs while it protects your building.
What You Should Know
The seam is the system.
The leading cause of premature TPO failure is bad seam welding. A premium membrane with bad seams fails like a budget membrane. We document test welds at the start of every shift and at every change in weather conditions, because your roof is only as good as the day it was installed.
Where It Falls Short
Not every building wants TPO.
Buildings with grease, chemical, or oil exposure on the roof are better served by PVC. Roofs where water sits and pools after rain are better served by modified bitumen or BUR.
