The Benefits of a TPO Roofing System In the 20+ years that TPO has been in the field, it’s become one the most popular products used for low-slope roofing. Over 1 billion square feet are installed annually, making up over 50% of single-ply roofs being installed today. The rapid rise in popularity can be associated with several of TPO’s inherent benefits, including: • Great Value: Excellent performance at a cost-effective price. • Excellent Seam Strength: Heat-welded seams provide greater seam strength to taped and other seams. • Long-term Weathering: Excellent long-term heat and UV resistance. • Energy Saving: Highly reflective and emissive white surface can help reduce energy costs and urban heat island effect • Inherently Flexible: No need for plasticizers • Naturally Fungal Resistant: Doesn’t require biocides. • Versatile Application Methods: Including high-performance roofs requiring high wind uplift, increased puncture resistance, or quick economical systems.
