Carlisle SynTec has been a leading innovator in the roofing industry for over 50 years, known for their commitment to quality, performance, and cutting-edge solutions. Founded in 1960, Carlisle pioneered the development of single-ply roofing systems and has become a global leader in manufacturing highly durable roofing membranes.
Their mechanically fastened TPO roofing system is one of their most advanced solutions. Introduced in the 1990s, Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing quickly became a preferred choice due to its energy efficiency, UV resistance, and long-term durability. Carlisle’s TPO systems are engineered for superior strength, flexibility, and wind uplift resistance, making them ideal for commercial roofs in challenging climates. Backed by industry-leading warranties, Carlisle’s TPO systems are trusted for delivering outstanding protection and performance across a wide range of environments.
What is TPO?
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply roofing membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. TPO is widely used in commercial roofing because of its durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Advantages of TPO in Roofing Applications
✅ Energy Savings with Every Season
TPO’s highly reflective surface deflects UV rays, keeping your building cooler and slashing energy costs, especially in warmer months. This makes it ideal for businesses looking to lower utility expenses and reduce environmental impact, unlike modified bitumen, which absorbs heat and drives up cooling costs.
✅ Unmatched Durability in Harsh Conditions
Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and chemicals, TPO offers long-term resistance against punctures, tears, and impacts. Modified bitumen, by comparison, tends to crack, blister, and degrade over time, leaving your roof vulnerable to costly repairs.
✅ Built to Move with Your Building
TPO membranes remain flexible, adapting to structural shifts caused by expansion and contraction without compromising performance. This makes it the ideal choice for large commercial roofs, where modified bitumen is prone to cracking under similar stress.
✅ Hurricane-Ready Wind Resistance
Mechanically fastened TPO systems offer exceptional wind uplift resistance, meeting or exceeding hurricane-rated standards. This ensures your roof stays intact even in extreme storms, unlike modified bitumen, which is more likely to tear or peel under high winds.
✅ Safe, Fire-Free Installation
Unlike modified bitumen systems that require risky open-flame torches, TPO is installed with cold-process or mechanical fastening. This eliminates fire hazards and ensures a safer installation for both workers and property.
✅ Low Maintenance, Long-Term Reliability
TPO membranes are virtually maintenance-free, with a lifespan of 20+ years, minimizing disruptions and repair costs. Modified bitumen often demands frequent upkeep to address cracks and leaks, adding to long-term expenses.
✅ Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
100% recyclable, TPO contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy efficiency. This makes it an attractive choice for businesses focused on sustainability, setting it apart from modified bitumen’s environmental impact.
