We understand the importance of a durable and reliable roofing system for your business, which is why we offer top-of-the-line materials and expert installation services. There are many types of commercial roof systems, but let’s look at two popular types: TPO and EPDM.

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) Roofing

TPO roofing is a single-ply roofing membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It is known for its durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation.

Standard TPO is used in mechanically attached and fully adhered roofing systems in new construction, reroofing and recover (retrofit) applications. Additionally, it serves as a flexible membrane for flashings on walls, curbs, etc., in TPO membrane roofing installations. It’s imperative to ensure installation over appropriate roof insulation or other suitable substrate.

It’s generally suitable for a wide range of commercial buildings, including warehouses, retail outlets, offices, and industrial facilities.

Benefits of TPO Roofing

Durability:

TPO roofs are highly resistant to tears, punctures, and impact damage, making them ideal for commercial applications.

Energy Efficiency:

TPO roofs come in white and light colors, which reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, leading to lower cooling costs.

Easy Installation:

TPO membranes are lightweight and can be installed quickly, reducing labor costs and downtime for your business.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Roofing

EPDM roofing is a synthetic rubber membrane made from ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of diene monomer. It is known for its exceptional weather resistance and longevity.

It be used as an elastomeric single-ply roofing membrane for new construction and re-roofing applications. May be installed in Ballasted and Fully Adhered roofing systems. EPDM roofing is best for flat and low-slope commercial roofs in certain types of buildings like warehouses, schools, hospitals, and apartment building and more.

Benefits of EPDM Roofing:

Weather Resistance:

EPDM roofs can withstand extreme temperatures, UV radiation, ozone exposure, and severe weather conditions without deteriorating.

Low Maintenance:

EPDM membranes require minimal maintenance and are resistant to mold, mildew, and algae growth.

Longevity:

EPDM roofs have a lifespan of 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained, providing excellent value for commercial property owners.
