Roofing Types Β· TPO
One of the fastest-growing commercial roofing systems in the country β a tough, reflective, energy-saving single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams. Installed by Norman's expert flat-roof crews.
TPO β thermoplastic polyolefin β has become one of the most popular commercial roofing systems in the United States, and for good reason. It's a single-ply membrane rolled out across a flat or low-slope roof and either mechanically attached or fully adhered, with the seams between sheets heat-welded together to form one continuous, watertight surface. The membrane is reinforced with a polyester scrim that gives it real strength and resistance to tears and punctures. Norman Roofing Co. installs, repairs, and maintains TPO roofs across Norman and the OKC metro β and we back our flat-roof work with our promise: it won't leak β guaranteed.
We install quality TPO systems, including GAF EverGuard TPO, so you get a proven membrane with strong manufacturer backing on commercial buildings throughout the metro.
No flat roof is hail-proof β heavy hail or wind-driven debris can still puncture a membrane. After any major Oklahoma storm we recommend a professional inspection; small punctures are quick and inexpensive to weld closed. Ask about a post-storm damage assessment.
We prepare the deck, address any wet or damaged areas, and install the appropriate insulation board to set up a flat, sound base and good thermal performance.
The TPO sheets are rolled out and secured, then the overlapping seams are heat-welded with hot-air equipment so the membrane becomes one continuous, monolithic surface. Clean welds are the difference between a roof that lasts and one that leaks β and it's where our experience shows.
We finish the perimeter, curbs, drains, and penetrations with proper flashings, because on a flat roof the details are where leaks start. Done right, a TPO roof delivers years of dependable, low-maintenance protection.
TPO is primarily a commercial and industrial system, ideal for the large flat and low-slope roofs on offices, warehouses, retail, and apartment buildings β a core part of our commercial roofing work. It also suits residential flat or low-slope sections. If you're comparing flat-roof options, it's worth weighing TPO against PVC, spray foam, and built-up roofing β and we'll help you choose the best fit for your building and budget.
From new TPO systems to tear-off replacement and targeted repairs, our experienced, background-checked crews handle the job start to finish and leave the site clean. As a locally owned company with more than 20 years of experience, we offer free estimates, can help with insurance claims after storm damage, and serve building owners throughout Norman and the OKC metro. No published office hours to wait on β for emergencies, we're available 24/7.
TPO Roofing FAQ
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply membrane for flat and low-slope roofs. The sheets are rolled out and attached to the deck, and the seams are heat-welded together to form one continuous, watertight surface. It's reinforced with a polyester scrim for strength, which makes it one of the most popular commercial roofing systems today.
Yes. TPO's typically white, reflective surface bounces back solar heat β a true cool-roof benefit that helps lower cooling costs during hot Oklahoma summers.
With heat. The overlapping seams are hot-air welded so the sheets fuse into a single membrane. Welded seams are far stronger and more leak-resistant than glued or taped seams, which is a key reason TPO performs so well.
It's a strong fit β the reflective surface handles intense sun and heat, and welded seams resist wind-driven rain. No flat roof is hail-proof, but punctures are quick and inexpensive to weld closed, and we inspect after major storms.
