The TPO membrane is composed of a single-ply system constructed of polyolefin thermoplastic with a thickness of about 1.5 cm. Thus, it combines durability and performance. The white TPO membrane is the most popular because it reflects the sun's rays and does not absorb heat. The temperature of the roofs remains cooler in summer, which helps save on air conditioning costs. It also reduces heat islands, especially in cities.

Other important details
The TPO membrane is composed of a monolayer system constructed of polyolefin thermoplastic. In order to reinforce its resistance and its lifespan, many filling materials such as talc, carbon or fibreglass are used during the manufacturing process.
For installation, the joints of this synthetic rubber are welded together by hot air, without a blowtorch, which ensures an exceptional seal. In addition, this installation and manufacturing method allows the TPO membrane to be the most environmentally friendly. As with the elastomeric membrane, the installation of TPO membranes must be carried out by qualified, equipped, and experienced professionals.
