SPC Construction & Roofing installs and repairs TPO and PVC roofing membranes for commercial buildings across DFW. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a reflective rubber roofing material, while PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is produced through a polymerization process. Both are widely used flat-roof membrane systems.

TPO and PVC membranes are seamless, giving flat roofs a clean appearance, which matters for buildings where the rooftop is visible from nearby structures. Both are easier to patch than gravel or asphalt roofs, since leaks are more visible on a membrane surface. Their white color reflects sunlight, which helps keep the building cooler and can lower cooling costs.

TPO and PVC reflect light similarly, but they differ in a few practical ways. TPO generally has better weathering resistance, while PVC has better chemical resistance, which matters for restaurants and other buildings with rooftop grease traps or chemical exposure. PVC is also somewhat more flexible than TPO, which can make it easier to install, though both membranes can be heat-welded (TPO requires higher welding temperatures).
Which is better for a restaurant with a rooftop grease trap, TPO or PVC?
PVC generally has better chemical and grease resistance, making it a common choice for restaurants and similar buildings.
Which membrane has better weathering resistance, TPO or PVC?
TPO generally has better weathering resistance than PVC.

Yes. SPC has experience with both TPO replacement and PVC roof repair and can advise on the best material for a specific building.
Does SPC offer free commercial roof inspections?
Yes. SPC provides free roof inspections and estimates for commercial TPO and PVC roofing.
How long do TPO and PVC roofing membranes last?
Both systems typically last 20-30 years with proper installation and maintenance, though lifespan varies by membrane thickness and manufacturer.
