What is TPO Roofing?
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin and is a type of single-ply membrane roof. TPO is installed in sheets that are heat-welded together to create a leakproof barrier. Some TPO membranes are ENERGY STAR certified, because these white roofs are highly reflective and help reduce cooling costs for your building.
Benefits of TPO Membrane RoofingWhen it comes to single-ply flat roofing membranes for your home, commercial or industrial building, TPO membranes have many benefits like cost, durability, energy efficiency, and more. Compared to other roofing options, TPO has a relatively low cost. It is effective in resisting algae growth, and staining from debris, and dirt, and resists negative effects from ultraviolet rays and chemical exposure. It is flexible and can withstand some impacts that would otherwise puncture and tear the membrane.

What makes TPO different from other flat roof options?
|
TPO is a relatively new roofing material, but it is already becoming one of the most popular commercial roofing systems. TPO is a single-ply membrane roof that has heat-welded seams. These seams are welded using special tools that heat the membrane, utilizing its "plastic" nature, and bonds the material together. Heat-welded seams are secure - without the mess of adhesive or the danger of open flame. Both PVC and TPO roofs have heat welded seams, but TPO is usually the less expensive option. In addition to their secure seams and budget-friendly cost, TPO roofs are usually white, and reflect light to repel UV rays and help keep your building cool in summer!

TPO Repair Specialists
|
TPO roofing is a very durable flat roofing membrane, but over time it can experience punctures from dropped tools for falling debris, or sustain damage from becoming dry and cracking. When this happens, give our experienced team a call to handle your roofing repairs. Our flat roofing contractors can repair any punctures, tears, or damage your roof has sustained. Proper repair of a TPO membrane requires attention to detail and some special equipment.
First, the area must be clean, so the seal will adhere correctly. Otherwise, the patch will fail prematurely, allowing water intrusion once again. It is also important to use the correct material and heating tools to seal the seam, not adhesive. Hot air welders are expensive and most maintenance personnel don't have access to them, and if they did, they may not be familiar with how to use it correctly. We are experts, learning our trade from 35 years of real life roof repairs. To repair a TPO roof, it is also important to be familiar with how to use the hot air welder so the membrane doesn't become overheated, nor fail to bond. Save yourself hassle and expense and contact Skyward Roofing to schedule a free estimate and expert repairs. |
TPO Maintenance
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is a light-colored single-ply membrane roofing material. The heat-welded seams hold up well to the elements. A few years after installation, TPO can be sealed to extend its life and restore its UV ray resistance. TPO roofs that have had sealer applied will maintain their plasticity better. Keeping TPO roofs clean and routinely coated will keep them white and reflective, improving your business' energy efficiency. Our professional roofers offer free roof assessments to check the condition of your TPO membrane to see if it is ready for a new coat of sealant, needs repair, or is in good enough shape for the next season.
Free Consultation and Estimate
Whether you need a consultation for repair, evaluation of an existing TPO roof system, or installation of a new TPO roof, Skyward Roofing encourages you to schedule a free roofing inspection.

Our goal is to provide you with a detailed written report that addresses current problems, various options for repair, replacement, and also budget-friendly solutions and recommendations.
