New TPO Commercial Roofing Systems
TPO—thermoplastic polyolefin—is a single-ply roofing membrane used on commercial flat and low-slope roofs. Its heat-welded seams connect adjoining membrane sheets, while properly installed flashing protects transitions around walls, drains, and rooftop equipment.
Reflective white TPO can help reduce roof surface temperatures and cooling demand, with results depending on the building and roof assembly.
TPO is an option for warehouses, office buildings, shopping centers, retail spaces, and other commercial properties. A successful installation requires attention to the complete roofing system, including the deck, insulation, attachment method, drainage, and perimeter details.
TPO Membrane Thickness & Attachment Options
TPO membranes are available in options such as 45-mil, 60-mil, and 80-mil thicknesses. Thickness selection should match the project specifications and manufacturer requirements.
- 45-mil TPO membrane
- 60-mil TPO membrane
- 80-mil TPO membrane
Insulation, Drainage & Roof Details
A new membrane is one part of a complete commercial roof. Our project evaluation considers:
- Insulation
- Roof edges
- Parapet walls
- HVAC curbs
- Pipe penetrations
- Drainage pathways
Where appropriate, tapered insulation and crickets can help direct water toward drains, scuppers, or gutters. Improving drainage helps address areas where standing water collects.
Commercial Roof Coatings & Restoration
A Coating May Extend the Life of a Suitable Existing Roof
Restoration begins with determining whether the roof is sound enough to coat. Before any coating is applied, we focus on:
- Evaluating overall roof condition
- Identifying moisture
- Repairing defects
- Testing adhesion
Coatings must be selected for the existing roof material and applied as a complete manufacturer-approved system. Wet insulation, loose materials, and damaged areas need attention before coating begins.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Silicone coatings offer UV protection and ponding-water resistance on approved roof surfaces. Certain systems are suitable for:
- Metal roofs
- Aged single-ply membranes
- Asphaltic roofing
- Spray polyurethane foam
- Compatible existing coatings
Product compatibility, roof condition, and preparation determine whether silicone restoration is appropriate. Drainage problems should still be evaluated even when a coating resists ponding water.
Acrylic & Elastomeric Roof Coatings
Acrylic coatings provide reflective, flexible protection on approved substrates. They can be useful for roof restoration where drainage and application conditions meet the product requirements.
“Elastomeric” describes a coating's ability to stretch and recover; the specific coating chemistry and approved assembly still matter. For example, GAF's acrylic application guidance requires a clean, dry roof with positive drainage and no trapped moisture.
Polyurethane & Urethane Roof Coatings
Specified urethane systems can provide durability, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Some also offer chemical resistance, making them worth evaluating where rooftop exposure demands a tougher finish.
Selection depends on the manufacturer's approved substrates, exposure limitations, and required base-coat and top-coat combination.
Roofing Surfaces We Evaluate
The existing surface determines how a restoration system must be prepared and installed.
- TPO and other single-ply membranes
- Metal roofs
- Asphaltic roofing
- Spray polyurethane foam
- Existing roof coatings
Manufacturer-approved systems are available for many of these surfaces, but approval varies by product and assembly. A coating suitable for one roof is not automatically suitable for another.
TPO Retrofits Over Existing Metal Roofs
A TPO metal-roof retrofit may be an option for a suitable existing metal roof. These assemblies can use insulation fitted between panel ribs, followed by specified insulation or cover board and a new membrane. Flute-fill insulation supports the layers above it.
The existing structure, attachment design, and manufacturer requirements must be evaluated before selecting a retrofit assembly.
Commercial Roof Repairs & Maintenance
Small Roof Defects Can Become Costly Interruptions
AMW evaluates commercial roof leaks, damaged membranes, flashing failures, and drainage concerns to develop a repair scope.
Inspection priorities include:
- Open seams and membrane punctures
- HVAC curbs, pipe boots, and rooftop penetrations
- Parapet flashing, coping, and perimeter edges
- Drains, scuppers, gutters, and debris buildup
- Deteriorated coatings and previously repaired areas
- Evidence of moisture beneath the roofing surface
Commercial Roofing Questions
Can an existing TPO roof be coated?
Yes, some existing TPO roofs qualify for an approved coating system.
- Cleaning is required before coating
- Repairs must be completed first
- Moisture must be evaluated
- Adhesion testing is essential
- Primer and weathering requirements depend on the selected product
Can a roof coating fix wet insulation?
No. Wet insulation must be found and addressed before restoration.
Coating over moisture that hasn't been fixed doesn't take care of the needed roof repairs.
Does every commercial roof coating include a warranty?
Not automatically. Coverage depends on:
- The product
- The approved assembly
- Application requirements
- Contractor qualifications
- Any required inspections
Confirm warranty terms for the specific proposal.
How much does commercial TPO roofing cost?
Pricing depends on:
- Roof size
- Existing layers
- Tear-off requirements
- Deck repairs
- Insulation
- Membrane thickness
- Attachment method
- Access
- Roof details
