Tpo Roofs And The Environment

Tpo roofing systems are made up of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim that can be used to cover flat roofs.

Tpo roofs and the environment. Tpo membranes can be recycled and are typically used in the manufacturing of new tpo membranes as the bottom ply. Tpo stands for thermoplastic polyolefin a single ply roofing membrane that covers the surface of the roof. Tpo membranes are manufactured in sheets that are 10 12 or 20 feet wide. We also offer 45 mil min and 60 mil min tpo membranes.

This single ply roofing membrane is ideal for quick installs on larger roofs. Tpo a low cost and effective choice for flat and low slope roofs and the exposed surface is usually a highly reflective white which makes tpo especially suitable for hot sunny climates. It s capable of resisting dirt bacteria algae and even debris build up. Jm tpo roofing membrane is available in 45 mil 60 mil and 80 mil thicknesses.

You can install tpo roofing directly over existing roofing material or you can apply it to a bare roof deck. Resisting dirt bacteria algae and debris build up. Foams are highly susceptible to mechanical moisture and uv damage and rely on a protective coating. The flexibility of the membrane makes it highly resistant to tears punctures and impact damage.

Aside from this it s also environment friendly. Tpo roofing is best known for its durability. This reduces energy waste and significantly lowers cooling costs. This flexibility also allows for a building s movement and setting without compromising the roof s performance.

Spray polyurethane foam roofs are constructed by mixing two liquid chemicals together that react and expand to form one solid piece that adheres to the roof. Tpo roofs are energy star rated as cool roofs offering light color surfaces that reflect as much as 80 of sun s uv rays. Tpo membrane however uses a low amount of materials has a long lifespan has low energy demands in its manufacture and can easily be reused or recycled. Tpo roofs are durable.

It can withstand tearing punctures and impact damage too. Due to the flexibility of the membrane it also has high resistance to blunt damage. Thermoplastic polyolefin is a single ply roofing membrane that is one of the fastest growing commercial roofing systems on the market.
