Our team has extensive experience working with TPO materials, ensuring every installation meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship that our customers have come to expect from a locally owned company deeply invested in community success.
Understanding TPO Roofing Technology
TPO roofing consists of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim that covers flat or low-slope roofs. The membrane typically comes in sheets that are 10, 12, or 20 feet wide, allowing for fewer seams and reducing potential leak points. The material itself combines ethylene-propylene rubber with polypropylene, creating a flexible yet incredibly strong roofing surface that can withstand extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations.
The installation process requires specialized knowledge and equipment that our certified technicians have mastered through years of experience. We begin by thoroughly inspecting and preparing the roof deck, ensuring proper drainage and addressing any structural issues. The TPO membrane is then mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted to the roof deck, with seams heat-welded together to create a watertight bond. This welding process creates seams that are actually stronger than the membrane itself, providing superior protection against water infiltration.
Key Benefits of TPO Roofing Systems
Energy efficiency stands out as one of TPO’s most compelling advantages. The white reflective surface of TPO membrane reflects up to 87% of the sun’s rays, significantly reducing cooling costs during hot summer months. This reflectivity can lower roof surface temperatures by as much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit compared to traditional dark-colored roofing materials, translating to substantial energy savings for property owners in Suffield, Windsor Locks, Enfield, Windsor, Somers, West Suffield, East Granby, and Granby, CT, and Agawam, Longmeadow, Feeding Hills, MA.
- Exceptional durability: TPO roofing resists tears, punctures, and impact damage while maintaining flexibility in cold temperatures
- Chemical resistance: The membrane withstands exposure to oils, greases, and various industrial chemicals without degrading
- Environmental benefits: TPO is 100% recyclable and contains no chlorine or other halogenated compounds
Commercial and Residential Applications
For commercial properties, TPO roofing provides an ideal solution for warehouses, retail spaces, office buildings, and industrial facilities. The material’s lightweight nature means it can often be installed over existing roofing systems without requiring costly tear-offs, minimizing business disruption. Our 24/7 Emergency Service ensures that commercial clients never face extended downtime due to roofing issues, protecting their operations and inventory from weather-related damage.
Residential applications for TPO roofing have grown significantly as homeowners recognize its benefits for flat-roofed additions, garages, and modern architectural designs. We work closely with homeowners to ensure the roofing system integrates seamlessly with their property’s aesthetic while providing decades of reliable protection. Our financing options make this premium roofing solution accessible to homeowners throughout the area, backed by the same comprehensive warranties offered by larger companies.
