There Is New Stuff Happening Up On The Rooftops!

You can't tell it from the street, but there is a new trend in roofing materials used on commercial buildings these days. Thermoplastic Polyolefin or TPO for short, a synthetic rubber compound is topping off more and more commercial buildings. What's so great about this material?

A TPO system offers more advantages like it can be fused, making the seams long lasting. It is a stronger material and can withstand the changes from cold to hot weather better. It is more energy efficient too because it is a heat-reflective material. This type of material withstands chemical, ozone and ultraviolet effects better too.

This product comes in a variety of thickness and it can be installed ballasted, fully-adhered mechanically, making it more cost effective. It is found in mostly white which makes it even more efficient in regards to reflecting heat and light and less apt to absorb and transmit temperatures of outside to the inside.
