In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what to expect during the TPO roofing installation and offer valuable tips to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
- Pre-Installation Inspection:
Before the installation process begins, our expert team will conduct a thorough inspection of your existing roof. This step allows us to identify any underlying issues, such as leaks, damaged areas, or inadequate insulation, that need to be addressed before the TPO installation. Fixing these issues beforehand ensures a stable and even surface for the new TPO membrane.
- Surface Preparation:
Once the roof inspection is complete, we will prepare the roof surface for TPO installation. This typically involves cleaning the roof and removing any debris, dust, or loose materials that could hinder proper adhesion. Proper surface preparation is crucial for ensuring a successful and long-lasting TPO roofing system.
- Substrate Installation:
For TPO roofing, a suitable substrate is essential to enhance the roof’s insulation and provide a smooth surface for membrane installation. Insulation boards or cover boards are commonly used as substrates. Our team will ensure that the selected substrate is correctly installed, adding to the overall durability and energy efficiency of the roofing system.
- TPO Membrane Installation:
With the roof surface prepared and the substrate in place, the TPO membrane installation can begin. TPO roofing membranes come in large rolls, which are carefully laid and secured to the substrate. The membrane is either fully adhered using adhesive or mechanically fastened to the roof deck. Heat-welding is used to create strong, seamless seams between the TPO sheets, ensuring excellent waterproofing properties.
- Flashing and Edge Details:
Proper flashing and edge details are critical for a watertight roofing system. Our skilled installers will carefully install flashing around roof penetrations, such as vents and chimneys, and secure the TPO membrane along the roof’s perimeter. This attention to detail ensures that the TPO roofing system is well-protected against potential water infiltration at vulnerable areas.
- Quality Assurance and Final Inspection:
Upon completion of the TPO roofing installation, our team will conduct a thorough quality assurance check to verify that all aspects of the roofing system meet our high standards. This final inspection ensures that the TPO membrane is correctly installed, seams are secure, and there are no visible defects. Once the roof passes the inspection, it is considered complete and ready to provide reliable protection for your commercial property.
