What to Expect During TPO Roofing Installation
1. Preparing the Existing Roof
The first step in the TPO installation process involves preparing the existing roof. Our team will either remove the old roofing material or clean the existing surface to ensure a proper foundation for the new TPO membrane.
2. Adding Insulation
Insulation is a crucial component of the TPO roofing system, enhancing your building’s energy efficiency. We commonly use polyisocyanurate insulation, but options like expanded or extruded polystyrene are also available. Our experts cut the insulation to fit snugly around roof protrusions, ensuring optimal performance.
3. Installing the Cover Board
To protect the insulation and provide a suitable surface for the TPO membrane, we install a high-density cover board. This step is vital to prevent damage and ensure the longevity of your roofing system.
4. Laying the TPO Membrane
The TPO membrane is installed one roll at a time, with each subsequent strip overlapping the previous one. The seams are heat-welded to create a watertight seal. Depending on your building’s needs, the membrane may be mechanically fastened or adhered using specialized adhesives or self-adhered TPO roofing material.
5. Final Touches
Once the membrane is in place, the trailing edges are securely fastened into the roof decking. We also ensure that the TPO membrane is properly installed around side walls and penetrations to prevent leaks and extend the life of your roof.
Benefits of a Self-Adhered TPO Roof Membrane
Opting for a self-adhered TPO membrane offers several advantages:
- No Flash-Off Time: Immediate adhesion without waiting for bonding adhesives to cure.
- Consistent Adhesive Application: Ensures uniform coverage across the membrane.
- VOC-Free: Adheres without the use of additional VOC-containing adhesives, making it an environmentally friendly option.
- Increased Productivity: Streamlined installation process reduces labor costs.
