Heat-Welded Seams Creates strong, watertight bonds—superior to taped seams in durability and leak resistance.
Reflective Surface Typically white, TPO reflects UV rays, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs. Great for LEED credits and energy efficiency.
Cost-Effective Among the most affordable single-ply systems, especially in mechanically-fastened 45-mil configurations.
Durability Resistant to UV, ozone, chemical exposure (like kitchen grease), and punctures. Performs well under ponding water.
Flexible Installation Options Can be mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or induction welded. Prefabricated flashings and wide rolls (up to 12 ft) speed up installation.
Environmental Impact Chlorine-free, recyclable, and often made with post-industrial recycled content.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane used in low-slope roofing. It’s known for its flexibility, longevity, and resistance to weathering. When people say “rubber roof,” they’re almost always referring to EPDM.
Exceptional Longevity Properly installed and maintained EPDM roofs can last 30–50 years. Some have even exceeded that with consistent upkeep.
Highly Flexible Stretches and contracts without cracking—ideal for buildings with thermal movement or structural shifts.
Weather & UV Resistant Outstanding resistance to ozone, hail, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Black EPDM absorbs heat, which can help melt snow and reduce condensation in colder climates.
Easy to Repair Punctures and tears are straightforward to patch, even for non-roofers. Great for long-term maintenance.
Installation Versatility Can be fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted. Seams are sealed with adhesives or seam tape.
Color:
Black: Standard, absorbs heat (good for cold climates)
White: Reflective, better for cooling but shorter lifespan and higher cost

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a thermoplastic single-ply membrane used primarily on low-slope roofs. It’s engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and long-term performance—especially in demanding commercial environments.
Heat-Welded Seams Creates a monolithic, watertight bond that’s stronger than adhesive seams. Great for leak prevention and long-term integrity.
Superior Chemical Resistance Ideal for restaurants, factories, and buildings exposed to oils, acids, or grease. PVC outperforms TPO and EPDM in these conditions.
High Reflectivity Typically white or light-colored, PVC reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption and lowering cooling costs. Helps meet energy codes and LEED requirements.
Fire Resistance Naturally fire-retardant and often meets Class A fire ratings without additional treatments.
Longevity With proper installation and maintenance, PVC roofs can last 20–30+ years. Reinforced membranes extend lifespan and improve puncture resistance.
