TPO Roofing

Benefits of TPO Roofing

Here’s what you get if choose a TPO Roofing for your commercial space:

The TPO Membrane Are Cost-Efficient

A properly installed roofing system is a long-time investment. Many business owners think that the total amount of installing an entire roof could be extortionate, especially if it’s a large-scale l commercial space. Compared to other roofing materials like PVC, TPO membranes are a less expensive alternative. 

Thus, you might consider installing TPO if you have a strict roofing budget.

TPO Membranes Are Energy-Efficient Roofs

A TPO membrane can reflect the sun’s heat and good leak prevention into your home. This is very ideal especially during extremely hot weather where you are forced to run the air conditioning more often to maintain a very comfortable room temperature. Light-colored TPO roof membranes are particularly effective to solve this dilemma and will help you reduce monthly utility costs.

TPO membranes are also 100% eco-friendly because they are entirely made from recyclable and biodegradable materials. Thus, they have a lesser environmental impact compared to other roofing materials in the market today.

TPO Membranes Are Resilient

Another great benefit of TPO membranes is they are extremely long-lasting and highly durable compared to many other popular roofing options. They can withstand long-term exposure to the sun’s extreme ultraviolet light, and they can resist water damage, tearing, and even puncturing. They are also highly resistant to any bacterial buildup, so it will be hassle-free for you to maintain and keep your roof clean at all times.

If you count on TPO membranes in your roof, you can rest your worry knowing that it will serve you well for many years to come.

Choosing Your TPO Insulation

You can select whatever insulation material you want for TPO insulation that will best fit your roofing needs. The insulation materials are perfectly designed to help your house achieve a steady room temperature, and are directly attached to the decking. Your roofing specialist at Driggs Roofing can walk you through all the valuable benefits of different insulation materials that will work well with your budget and will help you come up with the best decision.

Polyisocyanurate is one of the most popular insulation types for roofing applications. It is a bit costly compared to other insulation types but pays off with a much higher R-value rating. Meanwhile, a mid-range semipermeable insulator is the Extruded Polystyrene that provides the best value but the performance is not quite as good. 

The insulator can stick to the base to make it more energy-efficient, or it can be adhered to using mechanical fasteners for a simpler and faster installation process. You might as well consider including a vapor barrier as additional protection against the insulation from condensation. This usually happens when the warmer air near your room meets the cool air in your building.

Selecting Your TPOInstallation Style

There are still some considerations to make if you want to invest in a thermoplastic membrane roof. There are a variety of advantages as well as disadvantages of using chemical adhesives, mechanical fasteners, or ballasted systems to adhere to the TPO roof membrane. 

Mechanically attached roofs are attached in place at the junction along with fasteners that are stuck to the roof decking. The seams are welded along the fasteners to attach them securely. This option is the cheapest and easiest option to install, it doesn’t need a warm day since it won’t require chemical adhesives. 

The roofing membrane will only be adhered at the seams, while pressured air or wind coming from the interior of your commercial place can cause the membrane to bulge out. It will then lead to condensation as moisture accumulates on your insulation and then it soon molds.

Meanwhile, a fully adhered membrane installation is more expensive to install, and it requires a warm day to keep the adhesive and membrane ready to work together. During the installation process, a chemical adhesive will fully attach every part of the membrane along the substrate. It will help to form an energy-saver barrier for your roof, making your TPO roof the most cost-efficient roofing material.

That is why it is always best to have consultation coming from the roofing experts at Griggs Roofing to properly weigh the pros and cons of each installation system.
