TPO Roofing

Energy-efficient TPO single-ply roofing systems for commercial buildings requiring superior weather resistance and reflectivity.

About TPO Roofing

Thermoplastic Polyolefin roofing has become the most popular commercial roofing system in the United States for good reason. TPO delivers exceptional weather resistance, energy efficiency, and long-term value that makes it the smart choice for flat and low-slope commercial buildings across Middlesex County. Edison Roofing Contractor is a certified TPO roofing installer with extensive experience designing and installing TPO membrane systems for warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities. TPO membranes are heat-welded at the seams, creating a monolithic waterproof surface that eliminates the adhesive failures and seam separations common in older roofing technologies. The white reflective surface reduces cooling costs by reflecting solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which can lower your building energy expenses by ten to thirty percent in summer months. Our TPO installations include proper insulation, tapered drainage systems, and detailed flashing work that ensures your membrane system performs at its full potential for twenty to thirty years. We install TPO systems from leading manufacturers including Carlisle, GAF, Firestone, and Johns Manville, all backed by manufacturer warranties that we register on your behalf. Whether you need a new TPO installation, a re-cover over an existing roof, or a TPO replacement, our certified crews deliver the quality installation that your warranty and your building demand.

Our TPO Roofing Process

1

System Design and Specification

We evaluate your building requirements, calculate insulation values for NJ energy codes, design the drainage plan, and specify the optimal TPO membrane thickness and attachment method.

2

Surface Preparation

The existing roof surface is prepared or removed as needed, the deck is inspected, and insulation board is installed with proper staggering and attachment to prevent thermal bridging.

3

TPO Membrane Installation

The TPO membrane is rolled out, positioned, and mechanically attached or adhered per manufacturer specifications. All sheets are aligned for proper seam overlap and heat welding.

4

Heat Welding and Detail Work

Every seam is heat-welded using calibrated robotic welders for consistent weld quality. All penetrations, curbs, drains, and edge details receive custom-fabricated TPO flashing.

5

Quality Testing and Warranty Registration

Seam welds are tested for strength, the entire surface is inspected for defects, and the manufacturer warranty is registered with complete installation documentation.

TPO membrane (60, 80, or 90 mil thickness)
Polyiso insulation board

TPO Roofing FAQ

How long does a TPO commercial roof last?

A properly installed TPO roof system typically lasts twenty to thirty years depending on membrane thickness, installation quality, and maintenance frequency. Thicker membranes of eighty or ninety mil generally outperform sixty mil installations and carry longer manufacturer warranties. Regular preventive maintenance including semi-annual inspections, drain clearing, and sealant renewal can push your TPO system to the upper end of its service life range. We install only premium-grade TPO membranes and back our installations with manufacturer warranties that reflect our confidence in the system longevity. Contact us to discuss TPO options for your building.

What makes TPO better than EPDM for commercial roofing?

TPO and EPDM are both excellent commercial roofing systems, but they excel in different areas. TPO offers heat-welded seams that are stronger than EPDM adhesive seams, better energy efficiency through its white reflective surface, and superior chemical resistance. EPDM offers a longer track record, better performance in extreme cold, and lower material costs. For buildings where energy efficiency and seam reliability are priorities, TPO is typically the better choice. For budget-conscious projects where the roof will not be exposed to chemicals or heavy foot traffic, EPDM remains a strong option. We install both systems and recommend based on your specific building needs. Call us for a comparison estimate.

Can TPO be installed over my existing commercial roof?

In many cases, yes. TPO re-cover installations over existing roof systems can save significant money by eliminating tear-off and disposal costs. However, re-cover is only appropriate when the existing roof deck is structurally sound, the existing insulation is dry, and local building codes allow an additional roof layer. New Jersey building codes generally permit a maximum of two roof layers. If your building already has two layers, a full tear-off is required. We evaluate your existing roof condition and code compliance before recommending a re-cover approach. Schedule a free assessment to find out if re-cover is right for your building.
