What is TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin)?
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane whose seams are heat-welded with hot air into a continuous, monolithic sheet. A white TPO surface reflects much of the South Texas sun, which helps lower rooftop temperatures and cooling loads on warehouses, retail centers and offices.
Why owners choose TPO
- Heat-welded seams that are typically stronger than the sheet itself
- Reflective white surface for hot, humid Gulf Coast summers
- Mechanically attached, adhered or induction-fastened options to meet wind-uplift requirements
- Lightweight — often a good fit over existing decks with new insulation
Best fit
Low-slope commercial buildings, warehouses, strip centers, schools and offices that want an economical, energy-efficient membrane.
TPO on the Gulf Coast
In the Coastal Bend, wind uplift and salt air matter as much as the membrane itself. We focus on perimeter and corner attachment, corrosion-resistant fasteners, edge metal and flashing details — where most coastal roof failures begin.
Built from the deck up
A TPO roof starts with a sound deck and new insulation boards. Reflective white single-ply sheets are then rolled out over the insulation, then seams are heat-welded into one continuous surface. On a large Coastal Bend roof, a white surface stays far cooler than a dark one.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a TPO roof last?
Service life depends on membrane thickness, installation quality, attachment method and maintenance. We'll give you a realistic expectation for your building during the estimate.
Can TPO be installed over my existing roof?
Sometimes. If the existing roof and insulation are dry and code allows a recover, it can save tear-off costs. We check moisture before recommending it.
Do you repair existing TPO roofs?
Yes — we repair seams, flashings, punctures and storm damage on TPO roofs, whoever installed them.
