Roofing That Handles Heat and Snow Equally
Palace Roofing installs TPO roofing systems for residential and commercial properties in Nampa, Idaho and the treasure valley area.
TPO roofing is used on flat and low-slope roofs because it performs well under temperature extremes, resists UV damage, and provides reliable waterproofing without requiring constant maintenance. In Nampa, where roofs sit under heavy snow in winter and direct sun in summer, TPO membranes handle the expansion and contraction that comes with Idaho's climate without cracking or pulling away from seams. Palace Roofing installs TPO roofing systems for homes, offices, retail buildings, and warehouses across Nampa and surrounding areas. The material is heat-welded at seams to create a watertight bond, and the white reflective surface helps reduce cooling costs during summer by reflecting heat instead of absorbing it. TPO is designed to last, drain properly, and meet local building codes for wind and snow load requirements. Palace Roofing can schedule a TPO roofing estimate and review whether this system fits your building and budget in Nampa.
TPO membranes are rolled out across the roof deck, secured with mechanical fasteners or adhesive, and heat-welded at seams to create a continuous waterproof surface. In Nampa, where flat roofs are common on commercial buildings and modern residential additions, TPO provides a durable alternative to older tar-and-gravel systems that crack under freeze-thaw cycles or become brittle after years of sun exposure. After installation, your roof sheds water properly, snow slides off more easily due to the smooth membrane surface, and leaks stop occurring around seams or penetrations. The reflective surface reduces heat absorption, which lowers attic temperatures and cooling costs during summer months, and the membrane resists punctures from hail or debris better than many other single-ply systems. Palace Roofing installs TPO systems with proper drainage design and ventilation to prevent ponding water and extend the life of the membrane. The crew coordinates scheduling to minimize disruption, especially for commercial properties where operations need to continue during installation.
Why TPO Works Well on Flat Roofs
What property owners ask about TPO systems
Most people want to know how long TPO lasts, whether it handles Idaho weather, and how it compares to other flat roofing materials. These are the questions Palace Roofing hears from homeowners and business owners in Nampa considering a TPO system.
How long does a TPO roof last?
TPO membranes typically last twenty to thirty years depending on installation quality, maintenance, and exposure. Palace Roofing installs systems that meet manufacturer specifications and local building codes to ensure the membrane performs as expected over its lifespan.
Why is TPO heat-welded instead of glued?
Heat welding creates a molecular bond at seams that is stronger than adhesive and does not degrade over time. This matters in Idaho where temperature swings stress seams and cause glued or taped systems to fail earlier than welded ones.
What is the difference between TPO and EPDM?
TPO is heat-welded and reflects sunlight, which helps with cooling costs, while EPDM is typically black and absorbs heat. Both work well in Idaho, but TPO is often preferred for buildings where energy efficiency and seam strength are priorities.
How does TPO handle snow loads?
TPO membranes are installed over insulation and decking designed to carry snow loads required by Idaho building codes. The membrane itself does not carry structural load, but proper installation ensures it stays fastened and waterproof even under heavy snow.
What maintenance does a TPO roof need?
Clear debris, inspect seams and drains annually, and repair small punctures or tears as soon as they appear. Regular inspections extend the life of the membrane and prevent leaks from developing in areas where water tends to pool or drains get clogged.
Palace Roofing installs TPO roofing systems for residential and commercial properties across Nampa that need flat or low-slope roofs capable of handling Idaho weather without constant maintenance. If your building needs a new roof or your current membrane is failing, contact the team to discuss whether TPO is the right fit for your project.
