TPO Love

Heck, I just wanna know where them hills in the background are located. Looks kinda Utah-ee to me.

Sure smaller roofs exhert less force. TPO as a polymer is excellent. When's the last time anyone saw a cracked dashboard? The problem isn't the TPO,>>>

Also, what would you include on your list of "higher end PVC's?">>>

Cyberian, your cyber-keyboard fingernails look like mine. lol Don't know if you are any of the Daves known to the RCS under previous incarnations or not, but imho these are some great contributions you're making to the board. Very much appreciated and>>>

Looks nice.>>>

PVC repairs can suck too. This one has been burned just a little bit. More than 200 repairs last trip and I had to crawl hand & knees every lap to find them. Little, thin splits suck.

This isn't our PVC installation either, though we do install some of>>>

Mike's right- JPS & Genflex in the previous shots.

I should've said in advance that none of these are our installations. We don't do TPO, just sometimes fix 'em.

The corner is on a mfg. warranty overlay w/6' perimeters and loose wall flash (bonding>>>

Well, I see some Stevens. Maybe some Genflex and Carlisle. The one that shows the corner of a curb looks more like a PVC, but since there's nothing to give it scale, the actual pattern is a little tough to discern.

The reason these split at the lap is>>>

what brand is that in those pics?>>>

Black TPO. I still don't know why it fails on the *inside* of a field lap. [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j175/Roberts406/Roofing/blacklapsplitinsideedge.jpg[/IMG]

This one's on the outside of the field lap- I've heard it unzip like this while>>>

White TPO making me money. Looks like the installers got a wrinkle in the membrane laying it out and kinked it. Top layer of membrane already split. Safe bet it'll either de-laminate or split all the way through soon.

Cyberian,

Like you, I've seen little in the way of good from TPO. All but one have failed inside of 9 years, and that 1 got milked along for years before being approved for replacement in the budget at 15 years old.

I've seen what you showed here, bu>>>

>Look like lap cement that nonroofers buy at Home Depot.

The TPO is black. Coating is white. Sealant on the blowout to try to save the merchandise under roof is M-1.

M-1 sticks to TPOs pretty nicely in a pinch but once the membrane starts letting go in>>>

o yeah u can email them if you want to danielalte.jar@gmail.com>>>

yeah i would like to see some other pics. i don't know why the only tpo's i see are never really failed toooooo badly, and are only a few years old with minor leaks>>>
