TPO
TPO membranes are single-ply roof membranes constructed form ethylene propylene rubber. They are designed to combine the durability of rubber with the proven performance of hot-air wieldable seams. They have been tested as having excellent resistance to ozone, are algae-resistant, environmentally friendly and safe to install. Seam strengths are reportedly 3 to 4 times those of EPDM’s adhesive and tape seams. TPO is highly resistant to tears, impacts, and punctures with good flexibility to allow for building movement. TPO’s are most common in white; however, many more colors are available, with thicknesses of 45 mils (.045”), 60 mils (.060”), or 80 mils (.080”). TPO is the most common single-ply system used here in Florida.
PVC
PVC membrane is a roof membrane composed on only one layer of material, polyvinyl chloride. PVC roof systems are specially designed to withstand ponding water – PVC membrane is welded together with hot air (no open flame) to eliminate all seams so moisture cannot pass through, just like TPO systems. PVC roofing systems also reflect nearly 90% of the heat of the sun, thus lowering energy costs substantially, especially in high-heat areas such as the southwestern United States. PVC’s are available in 50 mils, 60 mils, and 80 mils, and in sheet width up to 78”.
EPDM
EPDM has been in use on roofs in the US since the 1960’s and is one of the most common types of flat/low-slope roofing materials. This is because it is relatively inexpensive, simple to install, and fairly clean to work with when compared to conventional Built-up roof systems. The odors and fumes that accompany built-up roofs are not present with single ply systems; this is very appealing to many owners of buildings.
