TPO Roofing 101: Is It Right for Residential Properties?

TEO Construction showcases high-quality TPO roofing installation, ensuring durability and energy efficiency for commercial properties.

TPO roofing is made with a thermoplastic polyolefin compound. It has become a cost-effective flat roof solution for commercial and residential properties. Without a doubt, TPO roofing is best for flat roofs.

This guide will provide you with the ins and outs of TPO roofing. Plus, we’ll see if it is good for residential properties.

TPO Roofing

TPO roofing comes in three layers. The top layer is for UV protection, whereas the middle is the TPO membrane. The lower layer of the membrane performs insulation. The TPO membrane or the middle layer is key for protecting the building from weather damage and holding water off the surface. The top layer serves as a shield for the membrane from exposure to the sun.

Range of Colors

TPO roofing is popular in white color as it has the highest potential to reflect heat and keep the building cool. However, you can always go for the color you want. TPO roofing is now available in 10 different colors. It means you no longer need to compromise appeal for functionality. You can install roofing with a color that matches the theme of your home.

Energy-Efficiency

TPO roofs are good for keeping your living space cool during hot summer. They maintain a cool temperature within the building. They have a high potential to reflect heat off the roof surface. Hence your rooms don’t get warmed up because of long sunny days. Hence, it’s perfect for your residence if you want to cut your air conditioner expenditure.

Installation

Installation is convenient. Hence, you, as a property owner, can save a great deal of money during the installation of TPO roofing.

However, one should keep in mind that high-quality installation will allow you to reap the benefits of TPO roofing to the fullest. Therefore, it is worth your time and money to invest only in quality TPO roofing solutions.

Given that you install standard quality TPO roofing, you can expect a life of 20 years at least. With superior quality installation, you can increase the life expectancy of your TPO roofing to up to 30 years.

You can install TPO roofing in two ways; mechanical installation and adhesion. Mechanical roofs are easier to install but less durable when compared to adhered systems.

How To Know If You Need It Or Not?

If you need waterproof material for your roof, you might want to consider TPO roofing. However, other factors go into the account to help you decide whether you need it or not. First, it is worth knowing that the weather in your city may affect the performance of TPO roofing. Your location or environment also plays a major role. If your roofing is encircled with branches, the roofing may not remain as sturdy as it would in a favorable environment.

You might want to assess these factors under the guidance of a local roofing company. It is better to have a trusted roofing company by your side to help you know whether TPO roofing would suit your home.
