What Is the Most Common Commercial Roofing Material?
Commercial roofing systems and residential roofing share the same function, protecting your home or property from the elements. But that’s the end of the similarities. The main difference between residential roofing and commercial roofing is the slope. This is determined by the building’s size.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
This material is used most often on North American low-slope roofs. It includes reinforced roof sheets with heat-welded seams that are highly reflective and reinforced roof sheets. TPO is a single-ply membrane that is made up of polypropylene and/or ethylene-propylene rubber. It has been polymerized together.
