TPO is also known as Thermoplastic Olefin (Polyolefin). The membranes of TPO are made of single-ply roof. These TPO roofing systems are made of ethylene propylene rubber. These TPO roofing systems are constructed especially to feature the strength from rubber including the promising performance of the hot-air weldable seams. The TPO roofing materials are usually tested under extreme conditions and it is guaranteed that they are environment friendly and safe during installation. The TPO roofing systems are not only resistant to algae but can also resist the effect of ozone as well. The strength of the seam is in fact, 3 to 4 times stronger.
Their flexibility allows them to resist wears and tears including punctures. TPO roofing systems come in the shades of white, light gray, and black. Their thickness varies from 45 mils or .045″ to 60 mils or .060″. The widths of the TPO roofing systems vary from 6 to 6 ½ ft and they are 100 ft in length. The TPO membranes usually are installed in fully attached forms. They are ballasted or mechanically attached with special adhesive. In this, the membrane is usually laid loosely over the roof and sealed at the perimeters. Finally, ballast is placed to keep it in its place.
