TPO roofing is a commonly used material in the roofing industry today. But even though it’s common, most homeowners don’t know what it is or anything else about it.

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply white membrane used in both commercial and residential roofing. Due to TPO being a white membrane, it reflects heat instead of absorbing it.

If you have a flat roof or a low-slope dormer over a bedroom, TPO is a great option because it’ll keep the room below cooler. You can also use it over a non-living space like a garage or covered patio.
