Homogeneous TPO membrane for roof waterproofing
I TPO Waterproofing Membrane Specification
TPO or thermoplastic polyolefin is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane. It is composed of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber which are polymerized together to form what we call TPO.
This synthetic roofing membrane comes in various thickness and dimensions. Usually, customers can find 45 to 80 mils thickness in the market. TPO is typically available in just three colors namely white, gray, and tan. If you want to achieve an energy efficient cool roof, you can go for the color white which effectively reflects the sun’s energy. This also reduces the building’s energy consumption as well as the urban heat island (UHI) effect.
II The benefits of Homogeneous TPO roofing
1TPO membranes are cost-effective. While a new roof is a worthwhile investment, many consumers worry that the cost of installing an entire roof will be prohibitive, particularly if they have a large building. Compared to many other roofing materials such as PVC, TPO membranes are a relatively inexpensive option. Thus, you may want to consider them if you have concerns about your roofing budget.
2 membranes make for energy-efficient roofs. Roofs that are made with TPO membranes will effectively reflect the sun’s heat, preventing it from leaking into your household and forcing you to run the air conditioning more frequently in order to maintain a comfortable temperature. Roofs made using light-colored TPO membranes are particularly effective. 3 3 TPO membranes are also made entirely from recyclable materials, and they have a much lower environmental impact than many other popular roofing materials.
4 TPO membranes are highly durable. Compared to many other types of roofs, TPO roofs are extremely long-lasting. They hold up well to long-term exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light, and they are highly resistant to puncturing, tearing, or water damage. They are even resistant to bacterial growth and dirt buildup, so it will be easier for you to keep your roof clean. If you use TPO membranes in your roof, you can count on it serving you well for many years to come.
III Environmental Impact: Homogeneous TPO
When it comes to how these two materials impact the environment, TPO membranes are more favorable. According to studies, PVC contributes more to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission as compared to TPO. It is also 100% recyclable minimizing the need to produce new materials. Moreover, it lessens the amount of roofing waste that goes to the landfills. TPO roofing materials don’t contain toxic ingredients which makes it an overall eco-friendly roofing solution.
IV Why You Need a Waterproof Membrane
We can go on and on telling you about the TPO waterproofing membrane specification. However, we think that the message will come across more effective if we tell you the consequences of not having a watertight roofing.
These are the most common problems that property owners experience if they fail to install a waterproof membrane like TPO flat roofing membranes.
1 Prone to Leaks
There are different root problems that trigger leaks. Poor installation, substandard materials, and harsh weather conditions are some of the reasons why leakage is a common issue. However, there are certain materials that are prone to leaks like rubber. Over time, it loses its adhesive power especially at the sides and edges which leads to unwanted leaks.
Areas, where leaks are present, can also be a breeding ground for molds and fungi. They are not only expensive to treat but are also harmful to one’s health.
2 Structural Damage
As expected, when leaks start to worsen, water will crawl to other parts of the building or house. It can spill over the walls, ceilings, windows, etc. Once water reaches the foundation and the base of the property, it can compromise its integrity. What’s alarming about this is that it can go unnoticed for months or years. Chances are it may collapse all of a sudden.
3 Damage to Interior
Failure to install a watertight material can also damage your interior. When water penetrates the ceiling down to the insides of your home or building, it can wet important things. We’re talking about expensive possessions, devices, electronics, appliances, furniture, and more. At the end of the day, you weren’t able to protect these things from water infiltration which shouldn’t be the case.
