Low Slope Commercial Roofing Systems

TPO is short for Thermo-Plastic Olephine. TPO consists of a reflective and durable single ply membrane. This type of Low Slope roofing system is easy to install and uses heat welded seams to prevent leaking.

Hot forced air from electric heaters, are used to fuse flashings and seams together for a solid bond. TPO is available in larger widths than most traditional roofing systems which mean less seams and less chance for failure.

TPO is available in multiple colors but white is the most common. A White TPO roof is a highly reflective surface earning it a cool roof or green roof title. The white TPO roof exceeds current energy efficiency standards and is a US Department of Energy, Energy Star rated roofing system

General Information:

• The performance of rubber with heat-welded seams 
• The weathering and low temperature flexibility of EPDM with the superior seam strength of heat-weldable membranes 
• White membranes reflect sunlight and cool building interior for energy savings. 
• Wide sheets mean less seams and less labor compared to standard PVC sheets. 
• More product on top of the scrim where you need it most - one of the thickest top plies in the industry. 
• Minimal shrinkage for watertight integrity you can count on. 
• Complete line of TPO Accessories such as Pre-fabricated Pipe Boots and Pre-Cut Corners. 
• Standard System Warranties and Membrane-Only Material Warranties. 
• Mechanically Attached, Fully Adhered, and Ballasted System Specifications. 
• Membrane meets or exceeds ASTM performance standards.

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer or, EPDM roofing for short, is a great material for low slope roofing applications. EPDM roofing comprised of a synthetic rubber that acts as a roofing membrane and is made special for flat roof tops.

Developed here in America in the 1960’s, EPDM roofing was designed to be flexible, have a high tensile strength, and weather resistant in any climate. The EPDM roofing system was developed to withstand temperatures ranging from -45 to 100 degrees Centigrade without cracking or tearing.

EPDM is also environmentally friendly, and is unaffected by UV light and ozone. The elastic nature of EPDM roofing allows it to stretch up to 300% allowing it to accommodate temperature cycling and building settling. The EPDM roof system can last over 20 years and requires little to no maintenance.

• Proven systems designed to maximize labor savings & roof lifecycle.
• Fast Roofs! with Mule-Hide Acrylic Water Base Bonding Adhesive. Single-side, wet application lets contractors accept more jobs, have fewer callbacks. Plus, great for crew retention.
• Laminated Tapes are designed for a consistent thickness and width of seam.
• Complete line of EPDM Accessories like Pre-Fabricated Pipe Boots and Pre-Cut Corners.
• Standard System Warranties and Membrane-Only Material Warranties.
• Fully Adhered, Ballasted, & Mechanically Attached System Specifications.
• Membrane meets or exceeds ASTM performance standards.

PVC Roofing was developed in the European market and found its way to American shores in the 1970’s. Today, PVC can be found on roughly 10% of roofs in the US. The reliability and durability of the reinforced PVC membrane makes it perfect for Low Slope roofing applications because it is highly resistant to puncture and impact resistant. The easy application process to any shape of roof and the virtually no maintenance makes this type of roofing material a great solution for most commercial applications.
