TPO Roofing FAQs
Answers to common questions about TPO roofing for Charlotte commercial buildings.
What is TPO roofing and why is it popular for commercial buildings?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane specifically designed for flat or low-slope commercial roofs. It's become the fastest-growing commercial roofing material because it combines excellent energy efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The white membrane reflects solar heat, reducing cooling costs by 10-30% - a major benefit for Charlotte businesses facing hot summers.
How much does TPO roofing cost in Charlotte NC?
TPO roofing in Charlotte typically costs $4-8 per square foot installed, depending on roof size, accessibility, membrane thickness, and insulation requirements. For a 10,000 sq ft commercial roof, expect $40,000-$80,000. While similar to EPDM in cost, TPO's energy savings often provide better long-term value for Charlotte businesses.
How long does a TPO roof last?
A properly installed TPO roof lasts 20-30 years with regular maintenance. The key factors affecting lifespan are quality of installation (especially seam welding), membrane thickness (60-80 mil recommended), and regular maintenance. Best Roofing Now uses premium materials and proven installation techniques to maximize your TPO roof's lifespan.
Is TPO better than EPDM for Charlotte commercial buildings?
For most Charlotte commercial buildings, TPO offers advantages over EPDM due to its superior energy efficiency. TPO's white reflective surface reduces cooling costs significantly during our hot summers, while EPDM's black surface absorbs heat. However, EPDM may be preferred for certain applications. We can help you choose the best system for your specific needs.
Can TPO roofing be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. TPO can be installed over existing roofing if the substrate is in good condition and local codes permit. This "recover" approach saves on tear-off costs and reduces landfill waste. However, we always recommend a thorough inspection to ensure the existing roof can support new materials and that any underlying issues are addressed.
How are TPO roof seams sealed?
TPO seams are hot-air welded using specialized equipment that fuses the membrane sheets together at 900-1000°F. This creates seams that are 3-4 times stronger than the membrane itself - far superior to glued or taped seams used with other materials. Properly welded TPO seams are essentially leak-proof.
What thickness of TPO membrane do you recommend?
We typically recommend 60-80 mil TPO membrane for commercial applications in Charlotte. While 45 mil is available, the thicker membranes offer significantly better puncture resistance, UV durability, and longer life. The modest additional cost pays for itself many times over in extended roof life.
Does TPO roofing qualify for energy rebates?
Yes! ENERGY STAR-rated white TPO roofing often qualifies for utility rebates, tax incentives, and LEED credits. The energy savings from reduced cooling costs can be substantial - many Charlotte businesses see 10-30% reductions in summer cooling expenses. We can provide documentation needed for rebate applications.
