What is Single-Ply TPO Roofing?

If you’ve seen a bright white roof on a building, then you are already familiar with TPO roofing. Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are made up of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim that can be used to cover flat roofs. TPO is one of the most common roofing systems for commercial and industrial buildings, taking about 40% of the commercial roofing market share. TPO single-ply roofing is one of the best energy-saving roofing systems out there and if properly installed and maintained can last up to 30 years.

People choose single-ply TPO because it is:

  • Heat-reflective

  • Energy-saving

  • Protects from ozone, ultraviolet, and chemical exposure

  • Class A fire-rated

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

TPO Roofing Insulation and Installation

Once cleaning or removing the existing roof, the insulation is installed. Matrix Roofing + Waterproofing, Inc. uses Polyisocyanurate insulation, the most common and highly-rated insulation system used in commercial roofing.

Once the insulation has been installed, The TPO membrane is attached to the cover board with a bonding adhesive. When the membrane is rolled out, we use a hot-air gun to hot air weld the seams together.


Benefits of TPO Roofing

In Southern California, there are, on average, 284 days of sunshine per year. While great for the weather, the heat and UV rays from the sun harm the roofing system of your building. Using TPO Single-Ply roofing can protect your roof and building from potential damage from the sun, like cracking or deteriorating, while also saving you money in energy costs.

The TPO material Matrix Roofing + Waterproofing, Inc. uses is bright white. This highly reflective material can reflect heat and harmful UV rays from the building. This type of roofing system helps save money year around by decreasing energy used to cool the interior of the building.
