TPO (Rubber) roofing

TPO roofing is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane. A synthetic rubber, it is a blend of ethylene-propylene and polypropylene with scrim fillers such as talc, fiberglass, and carbon fiber that reinforce and improve its stability, strength, and performance but also add flexibility. TPO was first introduced in Europe during the 1980s and in the US since the 1990s. Today it is considered one of the fastest-growing segments of the commercial roofing market. That, in large part, is because TPO was developed to combine some of the best qualities of other roofing systems such as EPDM and PVC.

Durable, Dependable

Depending on the conditions—e.g., environmental, maintenance, climate—TPO roof life expectancy can stretch from 22-30 years on the high end, with conservative estimates between 15-20 years. 

 A TPO roof membrane can last upwards of 20 years, with manufacturer warranties on installation typically lasting up to 30 years. When installed according to manufacturer specifications, TPO receives high wind ratings.

Return of Investment

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) indicates that a new roof is the #1 best return on investment project. They calibrate a yield of 85% upon resale. While there are other considerations (size and amount spent on your new roof, length of time before selling, and location) homes with new roofs on average, sell at a higher price and sell more quickly. With today’s quality materials a new roof has a lifespan of 20 or more years.
