TPO roofing, or thermoplastic polyolefin roofing, is a type of roofing material that is welded together to create a membrane. This single-ply roofing membrane is energy-efficient and has the benefit of other types of energy-efficient roofing materials without the added costs. It is a great choice for businesses that is not only cost-effective but also resistant to bacteria, debris, algae, and dirt. It is a flexible membrane that is able to withstand impact damage. This easy to install material requires fewer seams, therefore less time and cost for installation. TPO roofing installation has many added benefits that make it a great roofing option. But just like any other type of roofing materials, it can sometimes require repairs
Common TPO Repairs
No roofing system of any kind is without problems at some point during its lifespan. Because this type of roofing is lightweight and flexible, membrane layers can be easily punctured. There is no hard layer on top to protect it from things falling or dropping on top of it. This could create holes in the roof, making it more susceptible to leaks. The best solution is to keep TPO roofing free of limbs or branches that could puncture it by trimming trees, cleaning the area, and checking the roof often. UV rays can also cause TPO roofs to degrade over time. The UV rays can damage the adhesive. Overlapping the material should protect the adhesive from being exposed to UV rays to keep them from wear and tear. Proper installation is necessary to ensure TPO roofs are designed to be efficient. Certified Commercial Roofing experts will not only install TPO roofing materials to withstand UV rays, but can also make any necessary repairs to ensure your roof does its job.
