Applications:
Built Up Roofing / Modified: We are proficient in hot mopped, torched down, and cold process applications. Our certifications as Warranty Applicators by almost every major material manufacturer allow us to provide roof systems with long term warranties backed by publicly traded companies to best protect your investment.
Single Ply: The fastest growing sector of the low sloped roof industry for over 15 years. We offer design solutions from tapered system layouts, and value engineered solutions to improve both your bottom line (reducing your true on the roof cost), and your total systems performance.
EPDM: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, manufactured into rolls of various widths and lengths for application. This rubber like material can be loose laid and ballasted with rock or pavers to hold the membrane in place. It can also be fully adhered or mechanically attached as well. Originally manufactured in black rolls it is now also available in white to meet Energy Code Requirements
PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride Sheets are manufactured into rolls, and typically mechanically fastened to a roof deck assembly. Screws and barbed seam plates are used to hold the roof membrane to the roof assembly or it can be fully adhered via many different installation processes from cold process with bonding adhesive to hot mopped with asphalt on fleeceback applications. Seams are heat welded together with a robot welder or hand welder. PVC membranes are reinforced with a fabric scrim, and available in a wide variety of colors; however most local building codes require a white membrane to meet Energy Code requirements.
TPO: Thermo plastic polyolefin, TPO is a single-ply roofing system of a Thermoplastic Polyolefin membrane. They 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 punishment of UV rays, rooftop traffic, and physical damage. TPO single ply roofing systems offer up to 62% more protection.
Benefits of TPO
In general, TPO membranes are being marketed as a product that combines the properties of EPDM and PVC, without the associated drawbacks that the latter two materials have. In other words, they are supposed to be as UV-resistant and as heat resistant as EPDM, and as heat weldable as PVC.
The smooth surface resist dirt pick-up and biological growth compared to other thermoplastic membranes.
TPO membranes carry an Energy Star rating having exceeded city of Houston reflectivity code guidelines based upon solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Energy Star compliant membranes with their high cool roof ratings help reduce the amount of energy required to maintain cool building environments, and thus lengthen the lifecycle of A/C units by producing less of a work load.
Benefits:
Superior puncture resistance
Resistance to heat and UV degradation
Resistant to many chemicals
Durability
Minimum 10 year manufacturers warranty
Up to 30 year no dollar limit no leak warranty, as well as no puncture warranties available
Since 1995, TPO roofing systems have fueled nearly all of the growth in single ply roofing sector of the low sloped roofing industry. Architects and owners alike have learned of TPO’s superior weatherability and exceptionally reliable heat welded seams.
Toppings, Ballast Systems, Pavers, and Roof Gardens: Some of the roof systems above can have toppings added for aesthetic reasons, such as a Roof Garden System – which is an actual garden above the roof system. Also where applicable Ballasted Systems as Gravel Laid over the roof, or applied with a flood coat of hot asphalt. Paver systems installed over roof systems significantly raise the wind uplift rating of the roof system while adding aesthetic benefits and enabling foot traffic for a variety of purposes. Also, toppings serve to protect the roof membrane from damage, Ultra Violet Light and general abuse.
