The TPO Commercial Roofing Process with Top Rank Commercial Roofing Systems

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing has emerged as one of the most popular commercial roofing systems due to its durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Partnering with a reputable installer like Top Rank Commercial Roofing Systems ensures that your TPO roofing project is completed with the highest standards of quality and precision. Here is a detailed overview of the TPO commercial roofing installation process.

1. Initial Consultation and Roof Inspection

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation. Top Rank Commercial Roofing Systems conducts an on-site inspection to evaluate the current roof condition, structural integrity, and project requirements. This step includes:

  • Inspecting for damage, leaks, and structural issues.

  • Measuring roof dimensions and assessing slope.

  • Discussing client expectations and project scope.

2. Project Planning and Material Selection

Following the inspection, the team develops a tailored project plan. This involves:

  • Selecting the appropriate TPO membrane thickness (typically 45-80 mils).

  • Choosing insulation types such as polyiso or EPS for enhanced thermal resistance.

  • Establishing timelines and setting clear milestones.

3. Roof Preparation

Preparation ensures the roof is ready for TPO membrane installation. This includes:

  • Removing old roofing materials if necessary.

  • Repairing damaged decking and installing a moisture barrier.

  • Cleaning and priming the surface for optimal adhesion.

4. TPO Membrane Installation

This phase is the core of the process. The steps involved are:

  • Insulation Installation: Applying layers of insulation boards and securing them with mechanical fasteners or adhesive.

  • TPO Membrane Attachment: Unrolling and positioning the TPO sheets.

  • Seam Welding: Using heat-welding equipment to fuse the seams, creating a waterproof seal.

  • Flashing and Edge Details: Installing flashings around penetrations such as HVAC units, drains, and parapet walls.

5. Quality Assurance and Inspection

Top Rank Commercial Roofing Systems prioritizes quality control through:

  • Conducting a thorough inspection of seams, flashing, and terminations.

  • Performing water-tightness tests to detect any potential leaks.

  • Ensuring the installation meets or exceeds industry standards.

6. Project Completion and Maintenance Plan

After successful installation, the team provides a detailed project summary and maintenance recommendations. This includes:

  • A comprehensive warranty covering materials and workmanship.

  • A maintenance schedule with periodic inspections to extend roof life.
