Owners of flat or gently sloping roofs all around Riverview and across Florida are using TPO roofing, thermoplastic polyolefin materials more often. It can provide your property with a sleek modern appearance. This material offers durability and energy-efficiency at a relatively small price point. But, is it the right roof for you?
With over 30 years of roofing experience, Certified Roofers & General Contractors, Inc. has the knowledge to help you with your roofing decisions. Take the time to read below and find out some of the good and the bad of using TPO.
It is no secret that Florida is one of the most hurricane-prone states in the country. And although no building is 100 percent Mother Nature proof, a flat roof with TPO will resist being torn off better than a steeper sloped roof. This is due to the flat roof being more aerodynamic, meaning it allows the wind to pass over it smoother and with less resistance.
The biggest issue from most storms will be standing water forming on the roof’s flat surface. If allowed to sit on your roof for an extended time, water could find its way inside the building. To minimize potential leaks, experienced builders will add a slight pitch to the roof. This allows water to work its way down to your gutters.
Is TPO roofing the right choice for Riverview and surrounding areas? Well, maybe, but to find out for sure, give us a call; Certified Roofers & General Contractors, Inc.
