Both fullforce epdm sa and ultraply tpo sa install in temperatures as low as 20 f 7 c.
Starting with the roof membrane we will work down through the system and.
Excellent long term heat and uv resistance.
Secure bond technology ensures uniform adhesion coverage across the entire membrane and creates the most powerful bond over the broadest temperature range to significantly widen the installation weather window.
A ensure that the roof surface is dry.
Tpo s long term heat uv and natural fungal resistance plus flexibility without need for plasticizers also make tpo a reliable low slope.
The roof substrate must be clean and dry.
3 install 80 mil tpo roof fully adhered glued to densdeck.

It will allow you to fix all the rotten wood beneath the roof.
In general tpo is a relatively low cost high performing roof membrane when installed the right way.
Excellent seam strength.
All membrane rolls adhesives and coatings must be stored at least overnight at a minimum temperature of 55 f 12 8 c prior to their application.
