Commercial roofing generally involves flat roofing systems since they tend to cover a larger area compared to residential roofing. TPO and EPDM are two popular commercial roofing materials in the industry and are similar in many ways. Both of these options are great at protecting your commercial building, but is one better than the other? Read on to find out.<\/p>\n

TPO roofing<\/b><\/p>\n

Thermoplastic Polyolefin, or TPO, is a synthetic roof membrane made of a co-polymerized rubber. TPO is flexible, durable, and you can often find it in white. This coloring makes it highly reflective to the suns rays and is a great option for those looking to cut back on energy costs.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits include:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Customizable
\u2022 Highly resistant to tears and impact damage
<\/span>\u2022 Energy-efficient
<\/span>\u2022 Flexible in extreme temperatures
<\/span>\u2022 Resists dirt, bacteria, and debris build-up
<\/span>\u2022 Can be installed as mechanically attached, point-affixed, or fully adhered<\/span><\/p>\n

EPDM roofing<\/b><\/p>\n

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, or EPDM, is another kind of synthetic rubber roof membrane. EPDM is very durable material and has a long service life, so if your area frequently has hail storms, this is a great roofing option.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits include:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Long-lasting and durable
\u2022 Lightweight and flexible
<\/span>\u2022 Resistant to wind, hail, UV radiation and extreme temperatures
<\/span>\u2022 Environmentally friendly
<\/span>\u2022 Can be installed as adhered, mechanically fastened or ballasted<\/span><\/p>\n
