TPO | GAF

• Great Value: Excellent performance at a cost effective price.
• Excellent Seam Strength: Heat-welded seams provide greater seam strength to taped and other seams.
• Long-term Weathering: Excellent long-term heat and UV resistance.
• Energy Saving: Highly reflective and emissive white surface can help reduce energy costs and urban heat island effect.
• Inherently Flexible: No need for plasticizers.
• Naturally Fungal Resistant: Doesn’t require biocides.
• Versatile Application Methods: Including high-performance roofs requiring high wind uplift, increased puncture resistance, or quick economical systems.

with Drill-Tec™ fasteners

Installing smooth TPO with fasteners in a mechanically attached system offers several benefits, including:

• Up to 50% faster installation compared to fully adhered smooth membrane installations
• Reliability and cost effectiveness
• Familiarity with the industry as the most common installation method in single-ply membranes
• Consistent installation in a wide variety of temperatures
• No sprayers or additional capital investments
• A great option for occupied buildings, as there is no odor from adhesives

While fully adhered systems have better wind uplift ratings, a mechanically attached system’s ratings can be increased by modifying the fastening pattern from 12″ on center to 6″on center. Be sure to refer to the GAF Drill-Tec™ Fastening Guide to choose the correct fasteners and plates for your application.

with traditional bonding adhesive

Installing fully adhered EverGuard® Smooth TPO Systems offers several benefits, including:

• Longer guarantees compared to mechanically attached systems
• Excellent wind uplift ratings
• A uniform, smooth appearance
• Familiarity with workers, as this installation is common in the industry
• Minimizes thermal drift while acting as a vapour barrier

with WB181 wet lay-in

Installing fleece-back TPO with EverGuard® WB181 Bonding Adhesive offers several benefits, including:

• Up to 50% faster installation time than traditional smooth, fully adhered systems
• Reduced labor costs
• Low-VOC content with little-to-no odor, which reduces the disruption to building occupants
• Additional puncture resistance due to the fleece backing of EverGuard® membrane

with low-rise foam

Installing fleece-back TPO with low-rise foam roofing adhesive offers several benefits, including:

• Up to 50% faster installation time than traditional smooth, fully adhered systems
• Reduced labor costs
• Low-VOC content with little-to-no odor, which reduces the disruption to building occupants
• Additional puncture resistance due to the fleece backing of EverGuard® membrane

with GAF 2-part roofing adhesive

Installing fleece-back TPO with GAF 2-Part Roofing Adhesive offers several benefits, including:

• Up to 50% faster installation than traditional fully adhered, smooth systems (it’s as easy as watering your lawn)
• I ncreased productivity and smaller crews versus other attachment methods
• Up to 20 squares of coverage per set of containers
• Longer guarantees compared to mechanically attached systems
• No expensive equipment or maintenance
• Excellent wind uplift performance
• I ncreased puncture resistance due to the fleece backing of EverGuard® membrane
• Low-VOC content with low odor
• Substrate, membrane, and outside temperatures must be 40°F (4.4°C) and rising. Application temperatures above 50°F (10°C) are recommended to allow easier adhesive application.

Installing smooth TPO with the RhinoBond®† Attachment System offers several benefits, including:

• A fast and easy installation
• Smaller crews and install time, with up to 50% faster installation by adding a second machine
• Quick dry-in, as membrane seams can be welded before RhinoBond® Plates are bonded
