 This is an example of a TPO Roof with heat welded seams.

Installing a TPO Commercial Cool Roof system will produce cool savings.

The use of reflective TPO Commercial roofing materials or Cool Roof systems is one of the best methods for keeping solar heat out of buildings and increasing energy savings. White Cool Roofs normally stay 50 to 60 degrees F cooler at peak times than traditional darker roofing membranes offering important benefits to building owners and contractors while protecting the environment from the negative effects of urban heat islands. Cool Roofs stay cool for reduced electrical demand, increased energy savings and improved building comfort. Less cooling system wear and tear also means reduced maintenance expense. The magnitudes of energy savings also depends upon building type, level of roof insulation and ventilation rate. Periodic cleaning may be required to maintain roof reflectivity.
