TPO Roofing
TPO is an acronym for thermoplastic polyolefin. It’s one of the most popular roofing materials for flat roofs, both commercial and residential. A TPO membrane roof is one of your best options when it comes to flat roof replacement. Keep reading to learn more.
A TPO roofing membrane is a lightweight, single ply membrane. Due to it being white or light gray, it reflects the heat from the sun instead of absorbing it, like a black tar roof would do. This makes it a great option for homeowners who want to reduce their cooling costs and combat the heat island effect.
In addition to increasing your home’s energy efficiency, TPO roofing has several other benefits, including:
In addition, a TPO roof is suitable for roof coatings that can protect and extend the life of your roof.
In general, a TPO roof will cost somewhere between $3.50-9.50 per square foot, installed. Since a TPO roofing system is fast and easy to install, you’ll benefit from lower labor costs. Your final cost will vary depending on the size of your roof, the condition of your existing roof (wood rot, etc.), the type of insulating layer you choose, thickness of the membrane, and more.
You should inspect your roof at least annually, and after any big storm. Look for punctures or problems at the seams. If you catch a problem early on, it’s much easier to repair. You should also plan on removing any dirt and debris from your roof on a regular basis. You may want to hire a professional roofer to do this. This will help the reflective capabilities of your TPO roof. Finally, keep the gutters clean to allow proper drainage from your flat roof.
