If your business has a flat or low-slope roof, TPO may be the right material for finishing the area. TPO, or thermoplastic polyolefin, has been in use for almost 30 years and continues to be developed into a stronger roofing option for many flat-roofed buildings. This rubber-like, single-layer material offers a number of benefits for your business’s roofing system.

Why Choose a TPO Roof

1. Stands Up to Salt

TPO is a material which is highly resistant to chemicals. Over time, many roofing materials are degraded by the salt which is applied to de-ice a flat roof. A TPO membrane is resistant to this type of damage. This helps ensure a longer lifespan for the roof while making it safer in the winter months.

2. Resists Chemical Spills

From simple cleaning solutions to industrial chemicals, your business’s roof may see any number of drips, spills, and accidental exposures. A chemically resistant roof surface helps ensure these issues don’t compromise the area’s waterproofing or affect the underlying roof structure. It also helps keep the chemicals contained for easier cleanup.

3. Provides Weatherproofing & Energy Efficiency

While chemical resistance is the most innovative feature of TPO roofing, it still maintains many of the benefits of other roofing types. It loses nothing in waterproofing compared to other membrane-type roof materials and is an energy-efficient choice due to its high UV and heat resistance, which keep your building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Because it helps your business use less energy, it is also an environmentally friendly choice.
