TPO Single-Ply Roofing

What is Single-Ply Membrane Roofing

Commercial roofing is obviously much different that residential roofing in that the materials used are quite different. Once the roof of your company is in place, single-ply membranes can put on your roof for additional protection.

Single-ply membranes are simply sheets of rubber or other types of synthetic material that can be applied to your roof for protection and insulation. They can be fastened to the roof, sprayed or chemically adhered.

The two main types of single-ply membrane commercial roofing are TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) or EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer). These two types of membranes differ in their cost, chemical makeup, process of installation and energy efficiency.

TPO Roofing

This type of roofing material is one of the most popular in the commercial roofing industry. It’s commonly used to cover flat roofs that can vary in size.

The TPO membranes come in rolls that vary in size but are commonly 10 or 12 feet wide. Once rolled out onto the commercial roof and applied, the reflective surface helps reflect UV rays off your roof. Of course, this helps lower your energy bill.

Why Choose a TPO Roof?

This type of roof can give you several significant advantages over other types of commercial roofs. Some of these advantages include:

• Long lasting- while properly maintained, it’s not unusual for a TPO roof to last 25 years or more.
• Fire resistant- TPO membranes are fire retardant.
• Reflective- the white color reflects the sun which helps keep the roof and your building cooler in the heat.

Single-ply roofing systems have been the top choice in commercial, industrial and manufacturing roofing for a long time now. Let the experts at Tri-Tech Roofing & Coatings, Inc. help you decide if this type of roofing is right for you.

Commercial Roof Coating

Coating the roof of your business is just what needs to happen to protect it further from the elements. This process not only protects your roof but helps extend the life of your roof.

We can provide many types of coating depending on your current roof system and budget:

• Paint
• White Acrylic Coating
• Aluminum Coating
• SBS Coating
• SEBS Coating
• Urethane Coating

 A good roof coating can also help extend the life of your heating and A/C equipment since the white coatings reduce the interior heat and need for air-conditioning.

Roof coatings are lightweight and are an excellent application for a renovation. There is need for a tear-off process so there is little risk of interference with your daily operations.

The coatings can be applied over old modified roofs, granulated or smooth asphalt roofs, polyurethane foam and any single-ply metal roofs (white or black).
