Below is an overview of the most common flat roofing surfaces: 

TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin is a single-ply membrane resistant to mold, heat, and UV rays. The seams of a TPO roof are sealed using heat-welding, making them watertight when properly installed by trained personnel with the right equipment. They are highly reflective, making them an energy-efficient choice. 

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene terpolymer and is composed of synthetic rubber. EPDM is strong and flexible, able to resist punctures, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. EPDM is a tried and true system that has been installed for over 50 years in the US.

Modified bitumen is made from layers of rubberized asphalt, reinforced with fabric. It is easy to install and tends to be the most economical option in flat roofing products, making it an attractive option for many. The lifespan however is typically less than other materials. 

All three types of flat roofing come with pros and cons, and careful consideration should be taken when selecting a material. It is always best to consult with a professional to determine the best choice for your building. Contact Jax Roofing for a free consultation!
