What Is Single-ply Thermoplastic Polyolefin Roofing
TPO is among the most popular flat roofing materials that we work with. The TPO base, the polyester-reinforced fabric center, and the TPO top layer are the three bonded layers that make up a TPO roof, which has a single membrane. TPO is flexible in the center and strong in the top and bottom layers. TPO roofing is also adaptable because it comes in a variety of colors, thicknesses, and widths. There are many advantages, including heat reflection, fire resistance, lightweight design, and exceptional resistance to bacterial growth, severe weather, punctures, and extreme temperatures. When installed by Tycos’ skilled roofers, it can last over 20 years thanks to its air-welded seams that allow it to withstand strong winds.
TPO Roofing Replacement & Installation
Tycos installs brand-new TPO flat roofing for residential and commercial properties. Selecting the right roofing company is essential because the installation process plays a major role in the strength and longevity of your new TPO roof. While there are many local roofers to choose from, Tycos roofers are skilled, insured, certified, and have a ton of real-world experience. Regardless of the size of your roof, we would love to discuss your needs.
Is Your TPO Roof Damaged and Needs Repair?
TPO is a popular option for commercial applications because it is flexible and up to four times stronger than EPDM. Even with its durability, TPO roofing still needs regular maintenance. You should have a professional inspection done at least once a year, per our recommendation. It is recommended that the building manager conduct routine visual inspections as well and that you arrange for an inspection following a severe storm or other extreme weather event. Although TPO roofs are resilient to weather damage, they are not impervious to natural wear and tear, especially in cases where installation flaws exist. Over time, you can save money and prolong the life of your TPO roof by performing proactive maintenance.
Is TPO Roofing Ideal for Your Property?
Given its affordability, durability, and lightweight nature, TPO is a highly viable option for nearly all commercial buildings within our service region. One of the material’s many advantages is that it retains heat in the winter and reflects it in the summer, saving you money on heating and cooling your property. Although TPO is typically not a problem in our area, it might not be the best option if the roof will frequently be exposed to intense heat. Tycos is able to examine your roof and offer you our expert advice on the best material to utilize.

Other Flat Roofing Materials We Work With
Even though TPO is affordable and long-lasting, not all commercial buildings in the greater Wilmington area would benefit from it. Tycos also works with EPDM flat roofing systems and can discuss your needs if you want to switch the roofing material you have.
EPDM Roofing
Another kind of synthetic rubber that is widely used in commercial roofing applications across the United States is called EPDM. It comes in a variety of widths and thicknesses and is offered in black and white, just like TPO. Although EPDM roofing has a longer lifespan than TPO, upwards of 50 years, it is less energy-efficient and, in many cases, can lead to higher heating and cooling expenses.
