TPO vs EPDM vs PVC: Commercial Flat Roof Comparison
Comparing the three most popular commercial flat roofing systems.
Commercial flat roofing requires careful material selection based on your building's needs, climate, and budget.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
The most popular commercial roofing membrane in America. Energy Star rated, heat-welded seams, reduces cooling costs by up to 30%.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
The workhorse of commercial roofing — a synthetic rubber membrane proven over 50+ years. Extremely durable and UV resistant.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
The premium option. Superior chemical resistance, ideal for restaurants and manufacturing facilities.
Cost Comparison
EPDM is the most affordable, followed by TPO, with PVC being the premium option.
