Repairing or replacing  a commercial roof is an extensive job. Commercial roofing requires installers that are familiar with air flow systems and external piping. A typical commercial roof has factors to consider in roofing repair or replacement such as, low slop, or a surface that is entirely flat. Flat top roofs sometimes require more maintenance and involve larger sections. Many commercial roofing also houses heavy equipment that has to be navigated during the repair or replacement.

A new commercial roofing material is available, and we are proud to offer our commercial roofing customers Mule-Hide TPO which is a thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membrane. The TPO roofing membrane is famous for its superior strength against weather elements. It is one of the thickest piles in the roofing industry, with more products on the scrim, exactly where you need it most. A few other benefits of the Mule-Tide TPO are that it is Energy Star-listed and CRRC-rated. 

TPO, or thermoplastic polyolefin, is a roofing system consisting of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim designed to cover flat roofs. The reinforced membranes offer watertight integrity that will last for years. TPO has multiple sizes to choose from with a variety of sizes and widths of 10, 12, or 20 feet wide. 

The membrane is comparable to rubber, yet the seams are welded to form a continuous membrane. You can also opt for using solvents rather than heat on the lap seam without losing any strength.  

Previously commercial flat roofing materials consisted of gravel and asphalt roofs. This innovative roofing system is far superior in the following ways: 

At one time, asphalt roofing had to have a layer of gravel above it. The reasons are that when the asphalt is exposed to the sun, it will begin to disintegrate due to the sun’s harmful UV rays. Another reason is that asphalt needs weight on top of it, or it will be loose. Gravel acted to compact it. 

How Roofing Membranes are Different from Asphalt and Gravel Roofing. 

These new types of roofing membranes each have materials that can resist contraction and expansion from cold winters and hot summers. Memphis weather has both extreme heat and extreme cold. TPO also reflects most of the sun’s UV rays. The strong seams keep leaks from creating as well. 

Benefits of Mule-Hide TPO for Commercial Roofing Replacement 

Versatile: The roofing system is a flexible solution for most commercial buildings, and you can choose between the colors black, gray, and white for a more aesthetically appealing look. 

Low Maintenance: You would think you would have to worry about mold, tears, or punctures as you do with other roofing materials, but that is not the case with the TPO roofing system. 

Cost Effective: Another reason these roofing membranes are so popular is because they are so energy efficient. The roofing material was designed to be reflective. They are more economically advantageous than any other roofing option.
