Shingle Roofing Installation – A cost-effective choice that provides excellent weather resistance and curb appeal for commercial buildings.
TPO Installation – Burchfield Roofing specializes in commercial roofing, and TPO installations are one of our most commonly installed roofing membranes.
TPO, also known as thermoplastic polyolefin, is a single-ply roofing membrane that can cover flat roofs and low-slope roofing systems. These roofs have heat-welded seams to provide superior strength compared to roofing systems that are taped or attached using other methods.
TPO is a cost-effective, high-performance roofing option that offers excellent impact resistance and heat resistance for commercial buildings. TPO roofs have a white surface, which helps reduce the energy costs for your business. Plus, since the material is naturally flexible and fungal-resistant, there is no need for plasticizers or biocides.
Crucial Components of a TPO Roofing System Contrary to what you might believe, a TPO roof is more than a protective membrane. Each TPO roofing system has six key components that work together to maintain its long-lasting, energy-efficient, low-maintenance qualities.
Here’s a look at each component of a TPO roofing system—and the process your professional roofer will use to install it, starting from your roof deck.
Underlayment
First, your roofer will place an underlayment directly on the roof deck. Since low-slope roofs are more susceptible to water damage from wind-driven rain and ice dams, an underlayment provides a second level of protection against water penetration and the elements.
Vapor Barrier
A vapor barrier is applied directly on top of the underlayment. Vapor barriers help to prevent condensation from reaching the roof and creating an environment for mold, mildew, and rot to fester. There are two types of vapor barriers—loose and adhered. Loose-laid vapor barriers are simply a sheet of plastic applied before installation, whereas fully adhered vapor barriers are made from self-adhering membranes.
Insulation
Next, your roofer will install insulation. Insulation boards help to maintain the temperature in your building, despite the changing temperatures outside. Typically, your roofer will either attach your insulation mechanically with metal fasteners or glue them down with foam adhesives.
Cover Board
A cover board is attached between the insulation boards and the roofing membrane. This component provides a solid backing for the membrane, and it offers extra puncture resistance. Overall, a cover board helps protect your insulation and adds to the overall durability of your roof. It’s especially important to add a cover board to your TPO system if you will have contractors walking on your roof regularly.
