TPO Roofing FAQs
What is TPO roofing?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It's typically white or light-colored, highly reflective, and seams are heat-welded together creating the strongest bonds in the industry. TPO is the fastest-growing flat roofing system in North America.
How long does a TPO roof last?
Quality TPO roofing typically lasts 20-30 years with proper installation and maintenance. Higher-grade TPO membranes (80 mil thickness) tend to last longer than standard 60 mil versions. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of any issues can help maximize lifespan.
How much does TPO roofing cost?
TPO roofing typically costs $5-10 per square foot installed, depending on membrane thickness, insulation requirements, and roof accessibility. This makes it one of the most cost-effective flat roofing options while offering excellent performance. Contact us for a free detailed estimate.
Is TPO better than EPDM?
Both are excellent flat roofing options. TPO offers better energy efficiency (white reflective surface), heat-welded seams (stronger than EPDM's adhesive seams), and better chemical resistance. EPDM is slightly more affordable and has a longer track record. We can help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
Can TPO be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. TPO can often be installed over existing roofing if the deck is in good condition and local codes permit it. This saves on tear-off costs. However, we always recommend a thorough inspection to determine if overlay is appropriate for your situation.
How does TPO save energy?
TPO's white surface reflects up to 80% of solar radiation, significantly reducing heat absorption and cooling costs - often by 20-30% in hot climates. TPO meets ENERGY STAR requirements and can contribute to LEED certification. This makes it ideal for North Carolina's hot summers.
