How long does rubber roofing last

 

Single-ply rubber roofing is the ideal material for flat and low-sloped roofs because of its durability, water resistance, and other benefits. One such benefit includes a long lifespan which in some cases can last up to 40 years or more depending on quality! It also has easy cleaning/maintenance features so you don't need any help with this when it comes time to clean your roof. There are energy savings as well due to single ply's ability not let heat through into buildings below while still protecting them from rainwater damage (which would happen if they were covered by double-layered synthetic materials). Another perk is that installation takes much less time than using two layers of synthetic materials--saving both money AND labor hours over

Pros of Bowie TPO Roofing:

  • Durable and flexible. TPO is highly flexible, which means it can better withstand impacts and other types of potential damage.

  • Environmentally friendly. TPO doesn’t contain some of the chemicals used to produce other roofing materials, including chlorine. TPO is UV resistant (and can be ENERGY STAR rated), which means you can use less energy to cool your home in the summer. TPO is 100% recyclable.

  • Hot air technology. TPO is hot air-welded, making the seams strong, flexible, and highly water-resistant. The seams of a TPO roof are up to four times stronger than EPDM seams, which must be sealed using adhesives.

  • Color range. TPO is available in white, but it can also be manufactured in grey or black for aesthetic purposes.
