A thermoplastic polyolefin, or TPO, membrane from Stellar Commercial Roofing might be perfect when considering commercial roof options. It’s strong yet versatile, and our detailed assessments can give you the insight needed to make a sound decision. Moreover, we can install and maintain TPO roofing, saving your business time and money for years to come.
The TPO Roofing Edge
Thermoplastic polyolefin, or TPO, is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane created by polymerizing polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber together. It’s durable, flexible, and resistant to moisture.
Other benefits of TPO roofing membranes include:
- Long-Lasting
- High-Performing
- Energy-Efficient
- Resists Impacts, Tears, and Punctures
- Budget-Friendly
- Withstands Chemical Exposure
- Doesn’t Harbor Bacteria
- Environmentally Friendly
Additional Benefits
TPO roofing is incredibly effective at resisting debris, algae, chemicals, and ultraviolet light. Superior flexibility enables it to withstand punctures, tears, and impacts.
The high energy efficiency of TPO roofing is attractive to many business owners and property managers. Its reflective surface can significantly reduce heating and cooling fees. Installing this roofing membrane helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable – even on blistering summer days.
Companies aiming to highlight sustainable practices should consider a TPO roof. It can be recycled into new roofing material at the end of its lifecycle.

EXPERTS IN TPO ROOF REPLACEMENTS
A large publication factory in South Carolina needed a total roof replacement after hail damaged the roof. Gone unrepaired, the dents left by hail can lead to leaks, which can cause more problems. We replaced the roof with a slightly thicker TPO to add more insulation and protection against hail.

How Do I Know If TPO Is Right For My Building?
Your best option is to give Stellar Restoration a call. We’ll assess your structure and provide advice you can count on. That being said, TPO roofs are suitable for any structure with a flat or low-slope roof.
Here are applications that typically have this roofing type:
- Manufacturing Sites
- Banks
- Gyms
- Midrise Buildings
- Hospitals
- Police Stations
- Government Buildings
- Fire Stations
- Mixed-Use Developments
- Machine Shops
- Warehouses
- Department Stores
- Factories
- Airports
- Bus Stations
- Railway Stations
This roof type can be installed using two different methods: Mechanically Attached or Fully Adhered.
Mechanically Attached: In this installation process, our team lays the membrane and attaches it to the purlins using plates and fasteners. No adhesives are used and this process provides moderate wind uplift performance.
Fully Adhered: Fasteners and plates are used to attach the insulation and then we adhere the membrane using TPO bonding adhesive. This method allows for wider TPO sheets, meaning fewer seams and better wind uplift performance.
Yes and no. Any cover board will work as an underlayment. The underlayment can act as additional insulation and can also help with fire ratings, that require it. However, it is not essential.
