TPO Roofing
What is TPO?
In the roofing industry, Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) refers to a single-ply membrane that is manufactured from several synthetic components along with a reinforcing scrim designed to strengthen, stabilize, and improve the performance of the membrane. TPO formulations can be comprised of many different types of rubber, but the most commonly combination used in the commercial roofing industry is a combination of ethylene-propylene and polypropylene.
TPO roofs are becoming increasingly popular for use on commercial buildings, particularly those with flat roofs. The material makes for a desirable roof covering due to its excellent UV light-reflecting properties, which can result in lower building energy bills.
TPO membranes are sold in sheet form and are available in a range of widths from 10 to 20 feet. The manufacturer cuts, rolls, and assembles the sheets for distribution to contractors that request them for commercial roofing projects.
Is TPO right for my roof?
A St. Louis Roofing Company
The popularity of TPO as a roofing material is growing in commercial roofing industry. In the near future, its forecast to become the preferred choice by those in the industry. The material has many properties that make it ideal for
commercial roofing
including high resistance and an ability to deflect ultraviolet waves (UV).
Many conventional roofing materials are dark in color, which means they absorb heat from sunlight, forcing air conditioner systems to use more energy to keep a building cool. In contrast, TPO roofing reflects UV rays, which means commercial air cooling systems can use less fuel, resulting in the improved energy-efficiency of a building.
TPO roofs are also less susceptible to punctures. Compared to conventional roofing systems, a TPO roof is around three times as resilient to punctures. Punctures mean water gets into a building when it rains.
The installation process of TPO roofing systems requires welding work. Welding the roof makes it's extremely durable, but it also make installation more complex, as an electrical source is required. Fortunately, most roofing companies have their own generators. Similarly, any repair work required on a TPO roof can be more difficult to carry out, as a high power electricity source is needed.
Roof Restoration
What is a silicone coating?
A Silicone Restoration Membrane (SRM) is a protective silicone-based coating that is applied to existing roofing to extend its life. It comes in fluid foam and is sprayed or rolled directly onto the roof surface to fill in cracks, seams, and blisters.
Commercial building owners typically invest in silicone-based roof coatings when existing roofing systems still have great structural integrity, but require a bit of a revival to mitigate the signs of normal wear and tear over time.
A silicone coating does not improve the structural integrity of an existing roof, nor does it improve the roof's insulation properties. But, it does provide extra protection from the elements. Thus it can help prolong the lifespan of a roofing system.
Is a silicone coating right for my roof?
Silicone coating is rapidly becoming the number one choice for flat roofs. It offers many benefits to a roof including enhanced leak protection, improved aesthetic appeal, and increased sustainability. A silicone roof coating is applied to improve the performance of a roof over time. Roofs with silicone coating are highly sustainable. If you get a silicone coating applied to your roof, you will only need to apply a recoat every one to two decades and you can significantly extend the lifetime of your roof. However, your existing roof needs to be in good condition prior to a silicone coating application.
How will a silicone coating benefit me?
Using a silicone coating on a flat root provides many benefits. It has properties that other coating materials do not possess. To start with, it is completely waterproof -- unlike water-based coating like acrylic, silicone coating is impervious to moisture. While it is possible to improve the water-resistant properties of acrylic coatings by adding fabric reinforcements, they are not in the same league as silicon coatings when it comes to moisture resistance.
The second benefit of silicone coatings is that they don't chalk off -- a common issue with other flat roof
coating materials. Silicone does not shed particles as time progresses. Instead, it remains fully intact for the lifespan of the roof. The third benefit of silicone coatings is that they don't require any additional roof fabric for reinforcement purposes. As a result, installation times and costs are reduced. A final major benefit of a silicone roof coating is that compared to other popular flat roof coatings, less material is needed.
How long does a silicone coating on my roof last?
A professionally applied silicone coating can last over 20 years providing proper yearly maintenance work is carried out and roof inspections after any extreme weather events are conducted.
EPDM Roofing
What is a EPDM roof?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane which makes for an extremely durable roof covering. It is in wide use on buildings with low-slope roofs in both the USA and abroad. The two main components of EPDM are ethylene and propylene, which are derived from crude oil and natural gas. The material is available in a choice of black or white, and is sold in sheets of varying widths up to 50 feet. There are two thickness options 45 mils or 60 mils. When it comes to roofing installation, EPDM can be fully adhered, ballasted, or mechanically attached to a building. The seams of the roofing systems are then sealed with specially formulated tape or liquid adhesives.
