Commercial TPO Roofing
Peachtree Construction has worked on several different roofing projects small to large. We are very experienced in all types of roofing products and roofing techniques.
What is TPO Roofing?
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. A TPO roof system consists of a single-ply roofing membrane, supported by a properly installed solid substrate – often an engineered insulation system – on flat or low sloping roofs. The TPO roof membrane comes in different thicknesses – commonly 40-mil to 80-mils or thicker. The membrane is attached to the roof by mechanical fasteners, adhesives and various methods of heat welding to form watertight seams and seals around roof edges and penetrations to keep your building safe and dry.
Benefits of TPO Roofing Installations
>Puncture Resistance
Punctures can lead to leaks. TPO offers increased puncture resistance over other commonly used roofing materials. The quality of substrate design and installation techniques can play a big role in puncture resistance, so be sure to choose a first-rate roofing contractor.>Energy Efficiency
Reflective TPO roof membranes come in white and other light colors and can help save money on energy costs compared to dark-colored EPDM. Some buildings see a dramatic drop in heat absorption when using a light-colored TPO roof.>Value & Cost-effectiveness
When comparing costs to other systems like commercial metal roofing, TPO roofing systems offer one of the most cost-effective roofing solutions available, offering a great balance between performance and price. Flexibility of materials and faster installation delivers a lower cost install.>Long-term Weather Resistance
TPO offers superior resistance to long-term heat and damaging UV rays from the sun. TPO resists shrinking so seams and sealants stay in place over time.>Welded Seam Strength
A weather-tight roofing system depends on the strength of its seams. Welded seams as part of a professionally-installed TPO roof system, create a monolithic membrane across your entire roof.-----------

All types of roofing projects require indepth knowledge of handling and installation practices that are only learned through years of experience. And complex roof systems require careful craftsmanship using techniques far different from more common roofing practices.
