TPO Roofing – Commercial TPO Coating System
With more than a decade as a leading commercial roofing contractor, we have inspected, installed, repaired, and replaced our share of TPO roofing systems. After all, it is one of the most common single-ply roofing systems for larger industrial and commercial buildings. However, a TPO Coating system can enhance the life of your commercial roof.
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofs are single-ply plastic sheets containing a polymer compound with reinforced fabric scrim to form a protective membrane covering the entire roof. However, our roofing specialists are noticing a lot of TPO roofs with excessive wear in the Sarasota FL area, especially those installed ten or more years ago.
TPO Roofing Is Prone to UV and Weather Damage
One of the common causes of damage to an aging TPO roofing system in Florida is UV radiation and weather. This is due to the material’s vulnerability to excessive UV radiation, frequent rain, and high winds that can weaken and cause cracks in the membrane. The cracks allow moisture, pests, and debris to seep through the underlying layers of the TPO roofing system. Also, its exposure to direct sunlight slowly damages the TPO’s protective membrane over time. As the single-ply layers wear down, it becomes more susceptible to water, wind, and hail damage. This can cause roof leaks requiring immediate repair or replacement.
In addition, TPO roofs are not seamless. There may be hundreds or thousands of seams, depending on the size of the commercial building. Each of these seams can create areas prone to water leaks when damaged.
