TPO/Flat Roof

When it comes to flat-roof applications, TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) stands out for its impressive efficiency and reliability. At veteran-owned Recon Roofing , we specialize in TPO roof installations, repairs, and replacements tailored to the unique needs of commercial properties in Boise, Idaho. TPO membranes are celebrated for their robust durability and energy-saving features, making them a wise choice for businesses aiming to reduce operational costs while ensuring their buildings are well protected.

With a reflective, white surface, TPO effectively deflects sunlight—helping maintain a cooler indoor environment during Idaho’s hot summer months. Our skilled technicians understand the region’s challenging climate conditions, so we install and repair each TPO system with expert care and precision. Whether you’re considering a brand-new TPO roof or need prompt service for an existing one, trust Recon Roofing to deliver exceptional workmanship and peace of mind.

Originally developed and utilized in Europe, TPO commercial roofing gained widespread acceptance in North America during the late 1990s. Since then, it has become a leading option in the low-slope roofing market, with its U.S. and Canadian market value reaching USD 4.57 billion in 2021. According to the Single Ply Roofing Industry (SPRI), thermoplastic membranes—including TPO—experienced a 14% growth in 2021 compared to the previous year.

TPO consists of a thermoplastic polyolefin membrane reinforced with a polyester scrim. Adhering to the ASTM D6878 standard, TPO roofing is evaluated based on several criteria—such as minimum thickness over the scrim, tear strength, performance after heat aging, and weather resistance.

Beyond its robust physical properties, TPO rates highly in solar reflectance and thermal emittance, providing some of the highest Solar Reflective Index (SRI) values among commercial roofing products. These reflective qualities can help your roof qualify for LEED credits, underscoring TPO’s energy-efficient benefits.

Maximum slope depends on the method used to secure the membrane:

The 2018 International Building Code® requires a minimum slope of ¼ inch per foot (¼:12) for new thermoplastic single-ply roofs. It’s essential to ensure positive drainage in any design—whether achieved through structural sloping or tapered insulation—to prevent ponding water and maintain the roof’s integrity.

From new installations to emergency repairs, Recon Roofing combines expertise, high-quality materials, and exceptional service to deliver the best TPO roofing experience in Boise and the surrounding region.
