TPO Roof Coating
Thermoplastic Polyolefin, commonly known as TPO, is widely recognized as the top choice for single-ply roofing membranes in the commercial roofing industry, particularly for flat roofs. Its increasing popularity can be attributed to its exceptional durability and natural reflective properties, which surpass many other single-ply membranes.
While TPO is considered one of the more expensive roofing materials, it still accounts for a significant portion of new commercial roofing installations (40%) and roof replacements (over 30%), according to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). However, even the most robust and costly roofing systems struggle to withstand the diverse climate of Pennsylvania, where fluctuating seasonal weather gradually weakens the roofing system. As a result, frequent repairs or expensive tear-offs and material replacements become necessary. To address these issues, Lester’s Carpentry offers a TPO Roof Coating solution that effectively resolves these challenges.
Lester’s Carpentry is a specialist in providing Conklin’s TPO Roof Coating, an economical elastomeric solution designed to restore and safeguard weathered or aged TPO membranes. With its seamless, leak-resistant, and white solar-reflective barrier, our TPO Roof Coating offers exceptional protection. By utilizing our coating, you can significantly prolong the lifespan of your current TPO membrane, potentially extending it for decades. This solution effectively eliminates the need for expensive roof replacements and helps reduce overall costs throughout the roof’s entire lifespan.
Prolongs Existing TPO Roof’s Useful Life
The elasticity of TPO membranes is a significant advantage that contributes to their durability. However, every roofing system has vulnerable points, and for TPO, those weak points are the seams. Continuous exposure to UV radiation gradually diminishes the membrane’s elasticity and effectiveness. This drying effect makes the membrane brittle, leading to the development of cracks, particularly around the seams and scrim. As a result, the underlying layers of TPO become exposed to moisture, jeopardizing the integrity of the roofing system and potentially causing water leaks inside the building.
Conklin introduces an innovative solution in the form of a seamless elastomeric TPO roof coating. Specifically designed for direct application onto your existing commercial TPO membrane, this coating swiftly repairs cracks, reinforces seams, and seals the entire roof. It effectively restores and safeguards your commercial building’s TPO roofing system by providing a durable, leak-free, and energy-efficient barrier. Additionally, it resists dirt and discoloration, ensuring years of weather-resistant protection. By periodically recoating, you can renew the roof’s strength and durability, effectively extending its performance throughout the entire useful life of the roofing system. This approach successfully avoids the need for costly tear-offs and replacements.
Minimize Energy Usage and Decrease Cooling Expenses
When Lester’s Carpentry professionally installs the Conklin TPO roof coating, its remarkable “cool roof” characteristics deliver exceptional solar reflectivity, surpassing many other reflective surfaces. Consequently, the roof’s surface temperature is significantly reduced, bringing it closer to the surrounding ambient temperature. As a direct result, interior spaces experience a substantial cooling effect, leading to potential savings of up to 30% in cooling costs. Moreover, your commercial building may qualify for valuable tax credits, utility rebates, and other incentives that can help recoup your initial investment. It is worth noting that the Conklin TPO membrane coating system is an active member of the EnergyStar program, holds a rating from the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), and has received FM Approval.
Some of the many valuable benefits our TPO cool roof coating provides include:
- Superior waterproofing repairs and prevents roof leaks
- High solar reflectivity resists UV damage and discoloration
- White, reflective “cool roof” surface significantly reduces cooling costs
- UL Fire Listed
- Extends your existing TPO roofing system’s useful life
- Meets EnergyStar cool roof guidelines and building codes
- Limited 20-year non prorated extendable warranty available
