The Merits of Firestone® TPO Roofing Systems
The Merits of Firestone® TPO Roofing SystemsEvery manufacturer has its own version of TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofing system to offer. Firestone products, however, stand above other residential and commercial roofing in chemical composition. They offer the best combination of elements to deliver all-around performance.
Here’s a close look at the qualities that separate Firestone® TPO roofing from others in the market.
Durability
Durability is inherent in Firestone’s composition. Still, its Platinum UltraPly™ TPO system deserves a much closer look. Its 80-mil-thick, scrim-reinforced membranes enhance abrasion, tear and puncture. As proof of its longevity, it comes with a class-leading 30-year warranty coverage.
Wind Resistance
The Platinum UltraPly TPO membrane has the widest field seams of all roofing systems. This allows the use of mechanical attachment or full adhesion for insulation. As a result, it keeps the chances of wind uplift low, with proper maintenance.
Versatility
Firestone TPO roofing systems are as versatile as metal roofs. They come in an assortment of thickness and width and are installable on many deck substrates. They also mix well with accessories that match the unique designs of many buildings.
Energy Efficiency
TPO roofing membranes have reflective colors that meet the most stringent energy efficiency standards. Its white and tan varieties meet the California Energy Efficiency Standards. They have at least a thermal emittance of 0.75, and a three-year aged reflectance of 0.55. These ratings are ideal for flat metal roofs.
Easy Installation
Complex building components take time and resources to install. A business owner would rather spend such time on business operations to turn out a profit. TPO roofing installation is a lot easier compared to shingle or metal roofs. TPO can be well sealed at the seams with a heat gun.
