TPO is an abbreviation for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, the primary chemical that makes up this roofing membrane. TPO is installed in a single application, eliminating the need for multiple layers. Mechanically attached, adhered, ballasted, and plate bonded are some of the methods available.
TPO membranes are typically available in various colors, the most common of which are white, tan, and grey. Hot-air welding equipment is used to complete seams and flashings in this type of roofing. TPO roofing is highly wind and grease-resistant.
TPO membranes are more robust, durable, and flexible than hot tar roofing. White TPO membranes reflect UV rays and heat from the building, reducing the cost of commercial warehouses, storage facilities, and working and living environments. TPO roofing also requires less maintenance and is resistant to pollutants and chemicals found in the environment.
TPO membranes promote a quiet roof. Its low-odor adhesives and adhesive-less installation options reduce odors that can seep into the interior space, making your building’s occupants happy.
Applications for TPO Roofing
TPO roofing is commonly used on commercial and industrial buildings. Residential buildings can also have it, especially if the owners are looking for heat welded roofing to add extra protection to their properties.
TPO is recommended for roofs subjected to contaminants such as grease or when other single-ply membranes cannot withstand the elements.
TPO Roofing Replacement
If you are thinking about replacing your roof, you should know that TPO is one of the most common materials. This is an excellent material for a heat-reflective, energy-efficient roof.
TPO roofing membranes are also resistant to UV rays, ozone, and chemicals. They have all the advantages of EPDM and PVC roofing, but none of the disadvantages, and at a lower cost.
The only disadvantage of TPO is that it is a relatively new material on the market, making it more challenging to find professionals to handle it properly.
A Long-Lasting and Cost-Effective Option
TPO is more resistant to mold, dirt, water, and punctures than other roofing materials. Reinforced membranes can withstand thermal expansion and contraction on your property, especially in hot and dry climates like those found in many areas.
Another reason why many people prefer TPO roofing is its low cost. TPO is far less expensive than alternatives for both commercial and residential buildings.
For example, you can get the same hot-air weldable seams and energy efficiency as PVC roofing at a lower cost.
Exquisite Roofing will install your TPO roofing. TPO roofing is typically easier to install and requires fewer seams than other types of roofing. This ease of installation typically lowers the installation cost as well. Professionals from Exquisite Roofing are licensed, bonded, and insured.

Poly Vinyl Chloride
PROTECT YOUR BUILDING AND IMPROVE EFFICIENCY FROM THE TOP DOWN.
Installing Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Single Ply Roofing Systems results in a significant reduction in the roof’s surface temperature, promoting greater energy efficiency, more indoor comfort, and lower electricity bills.
It’s no surprise that PVC roofs are the most rapidly growing, long-lasting commercial and residential roofing materials available. And with over two decades of Single Ply roofing installation experience, Exquisite Roofing is proud to offer a wide range of PVC system options.
PVC roofing membrane is a high-performance, versatile sheet ideal for new construction and re-roofing projects. This product gives building owners the best of both worlds, with a superior puncture and tear-resistant membrane that is chemical and UV resistant.
PVC is reinforced with a fiberglass or polyester scrim, which improves its physical properties and makes it one of the highest-performing roofing membranes on the market.
They are specially designed to withstand ponding water. Ponding water will not affect the performance or warranty of PVC single-ply membranes because moisture will not pass through the membrane. These membranes are manufactured in labor-saving 5’-, 6’-, and 10’-foot widths, providing the building owner with a roof that has 67 percent fewer seams than comparable Modified Bitumen roofs.
Because of its highly reflective white color, this product will contribute to LEED® credit requirements in new construction, and it is Title 24 compliant on all re-roofs. Installing a PVC or KEE single ply roofing system directly over most existing membranes eliminates the need to add to landfills and causes minimal disruption to building occupants.
Furthermore, PVC and KEE membranes are the most fire-resistant of any roofing membrane, providing additional protection for the building and its occupants. Choosing a PVC roofing system for your structure will help to ensure a long service life and excellent performance.
SAVINGS ON ENERGY AND FIRE SAFETY
PVC and KEE bright white roofing membranes have high reflectivity, which helps save on air conditioning costs, lower total operating costs, and keep the building and its occupants cool.
PVC and KEE membranes are also highly fire-resistant; in the event of a fire, the PVC will self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, reducing the possibility of the fire spreading to other areas of the building.
IMPACT-RESISTANT TO FOOT TRAFFIC
PVC and KEE roofing membranes are reinforced with tenacious polyester or fiberglass reinforcing fabrics, which improve resistance to punctures and tears caused by routine foot traffic.
According to the ASTM D4434 PVC Standard, PVC and KEE are classified as Type IV – the most robust/highest rating available. The majority of TPO membranes are only rated as Type III. Many manufacturers provide a puncture resistance warranty and a 0% exclusion for standing water.
TIME TO INSTALLATION IS QUICK
Because PVC and KEE membranes are available in 5′, 6′, 10′, and 12′ widths, they are quick and easy to apply, allowing installations to be completed quickly and with little disruption to the occupants. PVC and KEE single ply roofing membranes offer the most systems to meet any need, including fully adhered and mechanically fastened assemblies.
PVC and KEE membranes are readily available at nearly every roofing supply store across the country, allowing quick delivery to job sites.

Commercial Shingle Roofing
If you own a commercial or industrial building and need a new roof, you’ll find plenty of old and new options.
When you meet with an Exquisite roofing contractor, you’ll most likely be told that asphalt shingles are one of your options. It’s good to learn more about asphalt shingles and their benefits.
Various Types of Roofing Shingles
Modern shingle roofing is classified into dimensional, strip, and premium. Because each type has its own set of characteristics and appearance, one shingle type that looks good for apartment roofing may not be a good fit for multifamily homes.
Dimensional shingles are the most popular choice for industrial and commercial property owners. These shingles are the heaviest and thickest, which you may prefer if you want your roof to appear to have layers.
Another distinguishing feature of dimensional shingles is that they frequently come with warranties that match the durability of the shingles themselves.
If you want a roof with a protective flair, premium shingles can be a great choice. These shingles can be shaped to resemble traditional shingle styles such as shake and slate.
You can choose to imbue these shingles with unique features that reflect UV rays or make them more impact-resistant.
You may be interested in the unique benefits that asphalt shingle roofing provides for commercial and industrial businesses now that you know more about your options with this type of roofing.
Compared to other materials, asphalt shingles are among the most affordable. As you can see from the examples above, there are many asphalt shingle options to choose from, making it simple to find the ideal option no matter your style.
Asphalt shingles are quick and straightforward to install, saving you time and money. The best results are obtained when the professionals install your shingles at Exquisite Roofing.
Organic roofing may be the way to go if you want a highly durable roof that will last you and your property for a long time.
These shingles are paper waste mixed with asphalt, with adhesive salt and ceramic particles added on top. There are also fiberglass asphalt shingles made from a combination of asphalt, glass fiber, and mineral fillers to provide superior fire protection.

Commercial Roof Insurance and Replacements
The roof, arguably, has the most direct exposure to the elements of any part of your home. There is the threat of heavy snow, hail, or ice storms in northern climates. Tornadoes and cyclones are also common in many areas.
There is the possibility of gales and hurricane-force winds in tropical climates. Mother Nature can not only cause direct damage, but it can also cause indirect damage, such as a violent windstorm that topples a tree onto your roof. Wildfires may erupt. Or there could be more unlikely incidents, such as something falling from the sky onto the roof, such as debris from an explosion or an aircraft.
Fortunately, the roof is an integral part of your home’s structure and, thus, the dwelling. As a result, the dwelling coverage section of your homeowners’ insurance policy should protect you against such perils. Damage and destruction caused by such events entitle the homeowner to a total or partial roof replacement.

Special Roof Coverage Considerations
Coverage is likely if a dramatic event causes dramatic damage—the roof collapsing, having a significant hole, or being torn off entirely. More problematic are cases where the damage is less dramatic, even if caused by a natural disaster.
Assume a powerful thunderstorm nicks a number of your roof’s shingles. The insurance company may classify this as cosmetic damage and refuse to pay for it.
You notice your roof has become leaky due to the storm mentioned above. Even if the rains caused it, the insurance company might claim it’s a general wear-and-tear issue, reflecting your roof’s gradual deterioration, which is never covered. Ironically, any water damage caused by a leaking roof to your walls, floors, or furniture would most likely be repaired.
