Commercial TPO Roof Installation
The roof over your head might not cross your mind until a hailstorm rolls in and leaks start to show up inside. Yet for any business, the roof is the most critical structural system in play. It protects your people, your assets and your operations from the elements every single day.
That’s why Cotton Roofing is the commercial TPO installation contractor businesses trust when considering roof replacement or restoration.
The TPO Roofing Edge
TPO is a single-ply, reflective membrane formed by polymerizing polypropylene with ethylene-propylene rubber. It's a flexible, durable material that’s resistant to moisture, ultraviolet radiation, heat and heavy use.
Here’s why businesses choose TPO:
- Long-lasting lifespan when properly maintained
- High-performing under varying weather conditions
- Energy-efficient with reflective surfaces that reduce cooling costs
- Resistant to impacts, tears and punctures
- Budget-conscious installation and maintenance options
- Durable against chemical exposure and pollutants
- Hygienic surface that doesn’t harbor bacteria
- Environmentally friendly and recyclable at the end of its lifecycle
Forward-thinking business owners often choose TPO to control operating costs, meet sustainability goals and maintain consistent comfort indoors.
Additional Benefits
TPO roofing is designed to withstand the unexpected. Hail, ultraviolet light, chemical exposure and airborne debris are no match for its strength. Property managers also see measurable energy savings from its reflective surface, which helps control indoor temperatures during peak heat. And since TPO is one of the easiest membranes to repair, routine upkeep is less disruptive to tenants or employees.
For businesses committed to sustainability, TPO roofing adds even more value. At the end of its lifecycle, the membrane can be recycled, reducing your environmental footprint.

EXPERTS IN TPO ROOF REPLACEMENTS
After hail severely damaged the roof of a large publication facility in South Carolina, our team stepped in to replace the system. Left unaddressed, hail dents can evolve into leaks and water infiltration. By installing a thicker TPO membrane, we increased insulation and reinforced the roof’s resistance against future storms.

HOW IS A TPO ROOF INSTALLED?
This roof type can be installed using two different methods: Mechanically Attached or Fully Adhered.
Mechanically Attached: In this installation process, our team lays the membrane and attaches it to the purlins using plates and fasteners. No adhesives are used and this process provides moderate wind uplift performance.
Fully Adhered: Fasteners and plates are used to attach the insulation and then we adhere the membrane using TPO bonding adhesive. This method allows for wider TPO sheets, meaning fewer seams and better wind uplift performance.
DOES TPO ROOFING REQUIRE UNDERLAYMENT?
Yes and no. Any cover board will work as an underlayment. The underlayment can act as additional insulation and can also help with fire ratings that require it. However, it is not essential.
