TPO Flat Roof

Name: Good Shepherd Roofing
Price range: $$

For flat roofing, typically found on commercial buildings, Good Shepherd Roofing recommends the use of TPO roofing. TPO (https://www.mulehide.com/Roofing-Products/p/TPOMembranes) stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, which is a membrane composed of different rubbers used on flat roofing surfaces. TPO roofing has gained extreme popularity in recent years opposed to the other options on the market (PVC and Rubber). The material is applied in a single layer over the roofing surface, which offers protection and many different advantages and disadvantages to the building owner.
