Q: What are the types of Single-ply roof systems?

A: There are two types of Single-Ply Roof Systems Thermoplastic (TPO) and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). TPO Single-Ply roof systems utilize a single layer of synthetics and reinforcement, and TPO Single-Ply roof systems are well equipped for a commercial flat roof application. The natural while color of TPO Roofs allow for more UV reflection, and the versatility of the Single-Ply TPO roof system has made it one of the most popular choices for commercial roof applications. EPDM is a Single-Ply Roof system that consists primarily of synthetic rubber compounds. Utilizing rubber allows the roof structure to have a more flexible composition.  In contrast to a TRO Single-Ply roof, a EPDM Single-Ply roof has a darker overall color often appearing as black or even gray. Darker colors allow for less UV reflection but more retention of warmth. This makes EPDM an option in colder climates.

Q: How do Single-Ply roofs work?

A: Both TPO and EPDM Single-Ply roof systems work by covering the roof surface with a layer or synthetic compounds or rubber material. There are differing methods of application, and our experts at TeamCraft roofing are able to help guide you to the right choice of material and installation.

Q: How Single-Ply roof systems repaired?

A: Roof warranties can range from 15 to 30 years on average. During this time your roof may require repairs to ensure your roof performs optimally. In the event of a puncture or leak, one of our TeamCraft service members will come examine the cause. If a repair is necessary, one of our technicians will come and bind a new section of membrane. 

Q: How are Single-ply Roof systems installed?

A: Once you choose to have a single-ply roof installed, a TeamCraft member will guide you through the timeline and process. Replacement begins with removal or cleaning of your prior roof system. Next a cover may need to be added. The final membrane is attached to this cover through mechanical, chemical or ballasted methods. A TeamCraft representative will help you choose the right method for your roof. Although the application of TPO and EPDM Single-Ply Roof systems are similar, the time for the application and adherence may differ. 

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages to Single-Ply roofs?

A: TPO and EPDM Roof systems offer multiple advantages. These advantages include ease of installation, a high tensile strength, a Class A fire-rating and a choice of light or dark coloration. One of the primary disadvantages of utilizing a Single-Ply roof system is membrane puncture. Both TPO and EPDM roof systems can be punctured somewhat easily and this makes it critical to properly maintain the roof. TPO and EPDM roof systems are also susceptible to leaks at the seams, and although this type of roof has decades of proven performance, the compounds are susceptible to breakdown by UV light.
