GAF TPO Single Ply System

Since 1995, TPO roofing systems have fueled nearly all of the growth in single ply roofing. Architects and owners alike have learned of TPO's superior weatherability and exceptionally reliable heat welded seams. Now with it’s added major price competitiveness , versus EPDM, TPO roofing systems are fast becoming the single ply roofing system of choice.

If you're a facility manager, building owner, architect, or roofing contractor who has experienced the advantages of single ply roofing systems, you'll owe it to yourself to consider ever guard thermoplastic roofing systems. These systems include TPO and PVC , which share numerous performance characteristics sought after by today's demanding architects and property owners.

Heat welded seams are up to 880% stronger.

There are two sets of forces constantly working to damage the seams of your roofing system.

• Wind Uplift
  which attempts to peel the seams apart .
   
• Building Movement
  which attempts to pull the seams apart.

Heat welded seams are simply better. Heat welded seams are widely recognized as being the strongest and safest in the industry.

Heat welded seams are physically fused rather than taped or glued. This results in a single monolithic membrane, rather than multiple layers of membranes and tape. It's like having a single uniform membrane covering your building from one edge of the roof to the other. Clearly, seam strength is the most critical factor in the watertight integrity of the roofing system. That is why the TPO single ply system is as much as 880% stronger.

Simple repairs, reduce Life Cycle cost.

Many people only consider the initial cost of installation when making the roofing choice. Repairs and the cost of maintenance can affect your lifecycle cost?

Leaks in ballasted systems are more expensive to repair than leaks in non ballasted systems, because locating the leaks requires first moving the ballast. Unfortunately when moving the ballast, other parts of the membranes can be damaged resulting in additional repair costs in the future.

TPO has superior puncture resistance.

Resistance to puncture is a critical characteristic for single ply roofing systems. rooftop traffic, HVAC maintenance, exposure to debris and vandalism demand that you roofing systems stand up to all types of physical abuse.

PPL membranes have superior puncture resistance compared to traditional DP EN.

• 229% better than non reinforced DP EN .
• 19% better than reinforced DPP .

TPO membranes are constructed like a sandwich with the top weathering layer of polyester scrim in the middle for reinforcement and a bottom layer. Industry experts have long recognized that the weathering layer is critical to the longevity of the roofing system because the weathering layer must withstand the punishing effects of UV rays, rooftop traffic, and physical damage. TPO single ply roofing systems offer up to 62% more protection.

So if you're looking for an economical, durable answer to your low slope roofing needs, TPO single ply roofing systems is your answer.

Some of the advantages of roof restorations are:

• Conserves cash... Saves up to half the cost of a new roof. The roofing project can also be staged over several years for improved cash flow.
   
• Extends life... Adds up to 15 years to the life of the existing roof.
   
• Peace of mind... Manufactures- no- dollar limit guarantees are available , up to 15 years.
   
• Minimal disruption... Installs significantly faster, and with considerably less mess than a conventional new roof.
   
• Financial flexibility... Can often be capitalized or expensed to (consult your tax adviser)
   
• Immediate savings with the TOPCOAT, systems are between $100 and $275 per hundred square feet
   
• Additional savings include... In utility savings of $3.50 to $4.50 typical per hundred square feet per year. A white roof is much cooler and cost effective than a black one.
   
• Potential tax advantages... unlike a new roof, a TOPCOAT restoration can often be expensed to capitalize it

For ease of installation, cost effectiveness, and energy savings TOPCOAT Restoration Systems is your answer.
