Roofing & Materials
TPO
A single-ply thermoplastic membrane (thermoplastic polyolefin), usually white, heat-welded at the seams and used mostly on low-slope commercial roofs. On a claim, photograph the seams, fasteners and any ponding or punctures, because whether a section is repaired or replaced depends on membrane type, age and the carrier's matching rules.
