TPO
GenFlex TPO membrane was introduced in 1996 and is manufactured at our state-of-the-art
extrusion technology facility in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where we have produced
the industry’s first 12-foot wide sheet meeting industry code requirements.
The 12-foot wide sheet offers significant benefits including fewer seams
to weld and fewer panels to install. With fewer seams and fewer panels for
most applications, there is a significant cost advantage to a 12-foot fully
adhered system. Compared to a 10-foot system, the wide sheet application
requires 16% fewer seams—33% fewer than an 8-foot system, and 50%
fewer than a 6-foot system.
GenFlex TPO membrane, a high quality thermoplastic polyolefin, offers the
“best of both worlds”...the proven flexibility and weathering
resistance of rubber and the performance of hot-air welded thermoplastic
seams. GenFlex TPO membrane meets all the requirements of the new TPO ASTM
Standard D 6878-03.
Heat-welded thermoplastic roofing membranes are the fastest growing segment
of the low-slope roofing market and GenFlex TPO is an excellent system choice.
GenFlex TPO roofing systems are designed for durability and to withstand
extreme environmental exposure. GenFlex TPO systems offer the widest selection
in both product and system types. From dual weld seams to Peel &
Stick systems, GenFlex has the TPO products you need for mechanically anchored
to fully adhered systems with warranties up to 20 years depending on the
system design.
GenFlex TPO membranes are produced with a minimum top ply film thickness
of 15 mils over scrim. This top ply has outstanding weathering and welding
characteristics in addition to a smooth finish designed to resist dirt accumulation
for long-term aesthetics.
Introduced in 2003, the GenFlex Peel &
Stick™ TPO Membrane System is truly a revolutionary new era in
roofing. Peel & Stick TPO membranes and accessories have pre-applied
adhesive and tape, making installation faster, easier, safer and smarter.
Now available in a 10-foot roll as well.
No application of bonding adhesive means little or no solvent fumes for
crews and no exposure to building occupants during installation. This new
Peel & Stick technology can also eliminate the need for generators and
walker welders which also add up to greater economy and efficiency.
The GenFlex Peel & Stick Membrane System cuts membrane installation
time and significantly reduces labor. The UL and FM code rated membrane
is simply aligned on the approved substrate, then the release liner is removed
and the membrane is broomed down with positive pressure to ensure adhesion.
It’s that simple. TPO accessories, pipe boots, seam tape and TPO cover
tape all go down quick, clean and easy with GenFlex Peel & Stick technology.
