What is TPO Roofing?
A TPO roofing system is environmentally friendly and recyclable, with heat-weldable seams. They are resistant to heat and UV degradation, many different chemicals, and have no external plasticizers. In addition to that, TPO roofing systems have good cold-temperature flexibility and are available in many colors.
Why Choose TPO Roofing?
TPO roof systems are cost-effective, recyclable and Energy Star rated. These roofing systems have been installed in the U.S. for the last 30 years. TPO membranes are made with a co-polymerized rubber that allows them greater flexibility in cold climates. Best recognized for having the benefits of EPDM and PVC systems, at a more economical cost. TPO membranes are white and highly reflective, making them an excellent choice for those looking to reduce energy costs.
In addition to being ENERGY STAR rated, TPO’s recyclability makes it an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious. If you are in need of a TPO roofing installation, turn to the pros at NYC General Pro Roofing. We can help you decide on the best path forward for your roof, while keeping the project affordable.
How To Repair A TPO Roof
In general, TPO roofing systems will last about 15-20 years. During this time, the seams of the system can rip apart, the membrane can be punctured, and the flashings can fail, among other issues that may develop over the normal course of a roof. All of these issues will likely lead to the roof leaking, which is not something anybody wants. If there is water entering the building, it is the first sign that your TPO roof may need repair. This typically happens when seams lose adhesion, which allows water to enter the roofing installation. Once the insulation accrues enough water, then it will enter the roofing deck and eventually start leaking inside the building.
When you get to the point of leaking that is where a professional needs to be called upon. When you turn to NYC General Pro Roofing, we can tell you where the water is entering the insulation, how old the TPO roof is, how many layers in the roof, and what condition the seams are in. Once we review the circumstances, we can provide you with a plan of action for improving the TPO roof. Our TPO roofing services for buildings in the greater New York City area are second to none!
About Maintaining a TPO Roof
TPO roofing is very durable. However, it still requires regular maintenance in order for it to perform at its best. One way to take care of a TPO roof is by scheduling regular inspections. A licensed, experienced roofing company, like us, can help identify potential issues before they cause more severe damage. Our team will check the TPO membrane during their inspection and can repair any damage or punctures we notice during the inspection. If you experience extreme weather, it is wise to get an inspection as soon as possible.
Here are some aspects that also cover TPO roofing maintenance.
- Removing any branches that come into contact with the roof.
- Service the gutters.
- Removing debris, leaves, and stuck branches in gutters and on roof.
- Check the seal on roof. Fix or replace any damaged shingles once noticed.
TPO Roofing FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about TPO roofing.
How Long Will a TPO Roof Last?
A TPO roof can last anywhere between 15 and 30 years when you mix in proper care and regular maintenance. The roof should be inspected fairly often in order to safeguard against damage. Regular inspections also extend the life span of the roof, since you can catch issues before they become something substantial.
Is TPO Roofing Better Than EPDM?
TPO is not necessarily better than EPDM as both types of roofing systems are durable. However, for the most part, EPDM is slightly more weather-resistant.
What Goes Under a TPO Roof?
When a TPO roof is installed over an existing roof, then we will install asphalt shingles under it. If we are removing the existing roof before installing TPO roofing materials, then we will place a layer of insulation around the roof deck to keep the temperature in the home consistent. We will tackle each job individually and assess each one before coming up with a plan of action.
Are There Disadvantages to TPO Roofing?
TPO roofing is a good option for many residential roofing projects. However, it is not the most attractive roofing material and can be an eye sore in a residential neighborhood. This is way TPO roofing is better suited for commercial building projects. On top of that, TPO is a fairly new material to the roofing market and does not have an established track record compared to other types of roofing materials.
