If you're in the market for a commercial roof, you want your financial investment to be durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing. Commercial buildings have several different options for roofing systems, including metal, rubber, and TPO, or thermoplastic polyolefin. However, the experts at South Central Roofing & Sheet Metal, in Lebanon, KY, understand that many business owners haven't heard of TPO roofing. Here, this trusted commercial roofing contractor shares a few key attributes of TPO roofs. 

What to Know About TPO Roofing

Single-Ply Material

TPO roofing falls under the category of single-ply roofing systems. These are composed of a single layer of synthetic material, usually manufactured under high-quality control regulations. Single-ply roofs are recognized for their strength, flexibility, and longevity. 

Chemical Membrane

TPO refers to the primary chemical composition of the roofing material, thermoplastic polyolefin. TPO roofing systems are thermoplastic membranes—single layers, or "membranes" installed in a single application. They’re a popular choice for commercial and industrial roofing needs because of their durability—most TPO roofing systems offer manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years. 

Widespread Versatility

TPO roofing can be installed through a variety of different methods, including adhering, plate-bonding, and ballasting. It can also be installed in several different colors, including white, gray, and tan, with other colors available by special order. The versatility of installation methods means TPO roofs can be customized to fit a variety of buildings and price points.
