Huntington Beach Flat Roofing: The TPO Roof As An Efficient Alternative For Every Roofing Needs

Flat roofs are gaining popularity these days.  That doesn’t really come as a surprise since they are easier to assemble and can provide a stable space for any additional roofing accessories like solar panels, satellites and skylights. For larger homes and businesses, flat rooftops may also serve as additional areas for gardens, helipads, or even swimming pools.  Still though, in order to get the most out of this unique roofing setup, homeowners might need more than just the regular materials commonly used during roof construction. Synthesized rubber, asphalt and vinyl are few of the most commonly used roof construction materials. But one of the most innovative and practical types of flat roofing used by Huntington Beach roofing contractors is TPO roofs, also known as the Thermoplastic Polyolefin single-ply roof.

TPO roofs were introduced very recently as another variety of the Huntington Beach flat roofing materials. Before now, the most commonly used substances to coat flat roofs included PVCs, EPDM or Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, Turbo Seal and Fiberglass. While they can be effective roofing material in their own ways, some of them are very difficult to apply or remove from a structure. And sometimes the waste materials that are left behind after application cannot be disposed of so easily by Huntington Beach roofing contractors and homeowners.

And that’s where the TPO roofs comes in. One of this particular type of Huntington Beach flat roofing’s most noteworthy qualities is its seamlessness that is the source of its impressive durability. It can be fully installed on rooftops of houses and buildings using special adhesives or by applying screw-type fasteners. It is reported to be at least 3 to 4 times stronger than the regular EPDM roofing materials and can withstand tears, impacts and punctures for approximately 5 to 10 years. It is also capable of reducing solar heat gain thus preventing a “heat island effect” that may cause harm on the surrounding areas.

We will probably continue to see an increase in popularity for this type of Huntington Beach flat roof. Large establishments like malls, sport coliseums, government and commercial buildings and large residential houses are opting to use this material instead of the regular EPDM or PVC roof. One of the biggest benefits of this roofing material is that its “nature friendly” and it can be used for long periods of time. Additionally, on instances when the roof has to replaced or repaired, creating a layer with a single ply TPO roofs can boost its durability that can almost double its lifespan. Lastly, and more importantly, installment, application and maintenance is quite affordable. Some Orange County roofing contractors believe TPO roofing is set to be the standard for flat roofs in the roofing industry in the next few years.
