FAQ: What Are the Benefits of TPO Roofing?

What is TPO roofing?
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, a single-ply roofing membrane used widely in both residential and commercial low-slope roofing systems.

Why Choose TPO Roofing in Georgia?

Here’s why TPO roofing is a great fit for Georgia’s climate and your budget:

  • Energy Efficient
    The bright white surface reflects sunlight, helping to lower indoor temperatures. This can reduce your cooling costs—especially in cities like Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah.

  • UV and Heat Resistant
    Built to withstand prolonged sun exposure without breaking down. Perfect for Georgia’s hot summers.

  • Resists Mold and Chemical Damage
    The material doesn’t support microbial growth and holds up well to chemical exposure from rain or nearby pollutants.

  • Strong Against Punctures and Tears
    Durable enough to handle foot traffic, fallen branches, and other potential roof damage sources.

  • Low Maintenance
    Minimal seams and smooth surface make it easier to clean and maintain than other roofing systems.

  • Cost-Effective
    TPO is one of the most affordable single-ply membranes. It’s cheaper to install and offers long-term savings through energy efficiency and durability.

  • Easy to Install
    Lightweight material, flexible installation methods (fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted), and simple welding make for faster and more affordable labor costs.

FAQs About TPO Roofing

How long does a TPO roof last in Georgia?
With proper installation and maintenance, a TPO roof can last 20–30 years, even under intense Southern heat.

Is TPO good for residential roofs?
Yes. While commonly used on commercial buildings, TPO is also great for flat or low-slope residential roofs, especially for energy-conscious homeowners.

Can TPO help reduce energy bills?
Absolutely. Its reflective surface reduces solar heat gain, which helps lower indoor temperatures and reduces strain on your air conditioning system.

Is TPO roofing better than EPDM or PVC?
TPO strikes a balance between affordability and performance. It's more heat-reflective than EPDM and less expensive than PVC, making it a popular middle-ground option.

Does TPO require regular maintenance?
TPO is low-maintenance. We recommend annual inspections to check for seam integrity and clean the membrane to maintain reflectivity.
