When it comes to single-ply membrane roofing, there are two types of material recognized by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA): thermoplastic and thermoset. These roofing membranes differ in chemical makeup, installation process, and other varying degrees such as durability, flexibility, and aesthetic curb-appeal.
Kingdom Roofing’s single-ply roofing membranes include TPO installation. TPO is a thermoplastic roofing membrane which stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It works best for flat roofs or roofs with a low slope, and it’s mainly used for commercial and industrial buildings.
The TPO installation process is another reason why it’s become a popular roofing choice, thanks to it’s relatively short labor time and fair prices.
Prep and Insulation: After the previous roofing has been stripped off of your building, the first step in laying down TPO is choosing a type of insulation. Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) is a common type, but expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene are also good choices.
Attaching the TPO: After insulation has been installed, the next step is attaching the TPO membrane to the roof. This can be done with,
Chemical adherence: The membrane is stuck to the roof in this option which can increase longevity
Ballasting: laying river stones or concrete down on the membrane to keep it flat and anchored
Mechanical fasteners: screws or other types of attachments are placed at key joints
Closing the Seams: Finally, our roofers will use a hot-air gun to hot-air weld all the seams together.
Repairing a TPO membrane is actually a pretty simple job. Generally speaking, repairs are needed when a tear emerges from seams falling apart, punctures, etc, and they can usually be sealed by welding patches to cover those areas. The key is noticing that your membrane needs work early on, in order to prevent further damage.
It’s important to note that if there’s a rip in the membrane, TPOs water resistance is compromised. If the rip goes unnoticed for too long, water could begin pooling onto the roofing deck and leak into the interior of your building. It’s essential that your first step is to contact Kingdom Roofing if you suspect or notice damage to your membrane–don’t try to DIY. We can surveil your roof and determine the best course of action based off of:

We’ve already mentioned several reasons why TPO is gaining popularity as a commercial roofing agent and how Kingdom Roofing can ensure it’s the best choice for you. Here are several other considerations that should be taken into account:
When properly installed, TPO roofing can have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with manufacturer warranties reflecting this duration. It is often manufactured with fire-retardant chemicals, making it eligible for an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Class A fire rating. Additionally, TPO roofing is fully recyclable, allowing the membrane to be repurposed into new materials once it is no longer in use.
