Flat roofing for Parkersburg and surrounding areas  TPO - E.P.D.M. - Modified Bitumen

Roof slope 
  There are many types of flat roofs here in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Most of the flat roofs have at least 10 degrees of roof slope, or 1/8th per inch slope. If your roof does not have any slope to it there are a few options to consider to allow for drainage.
  Taperd Polyisocyanurate insulation board can be installed to make the one eaith per inch slope. This method is considerably cost efficient compared to reconstructing the framing and is considered a light weight product.
  After you fixed the roof slope or already have adequate roof drainage it is time to decide which of the many flat  roofing systems  are best for the longevity of the roof.

TPO (Thermal Polyolefin) is the #1 rated and selling flat roof system available today and has so many advantages against the other membranes. It is a very common roof system used for restaurants industry because the grease that vents out of the kitchen does not deteriorate the membrane. It comes in 3 colors white, grey, and tan and is widely known as a cool roof because of its reflectivity. TPO is also a hot air heat welded system. What this means is, the seams are sealed by melting the product to itself so there is no adhesions to fail. Thermo-can be reheated again and again and does not cure it keeps its flexibility. Although TPO exhibits positive characteristics of thermo plastics it does not however have any plasticizers added to it this makes it chemically closer to rubber but being much stronger harder to puncture and tear than rubber.

TPO is to be known as the white weld able rubber of the future, sales have increased from 2007 to 2012 by quadrupling The gross sales of the TPO exceeds all other flat roof membranes. TPO is also considered a green roof product it is safer for the installers and is 100 % recyclable.

TPO’s application can be fully adhered or mechanically fastened or ballasted. TPO strength is to be 3 to 4 times higher than E.P.D.M. roofing systems. TPO so it does not degrade under UV radiation. This is truly my first choice for any flat roofing system.
