TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing is a single-ply roofing membrane that has become one of the fastest-growing commercial roofing systems in the world. Originally developed in Europe in the 1980s, TPO has gained massive popularity in New Zealand due to its excellent performance characteristics and competitive pricing.
The TPO membrane consists of a single layer of synthetics and reinforcing scrim that covers flat or low-slope roofs. Unlike traditional built-up roofing systems, TPO is applied in large sheets that are heat-welded together to create a seamless, watertight barrier. This welding process creates seams that are actually stronger than the membrane itself.
Why TPO for New Zealand? TPO's exceptional UV resistance makes it ideal for New Zealand's high UV index, particularly in the South Island. The membrane's white reflective surface helps reduce building cooling costs and contributes to a more comfortable interior environment.
Key Benefits of TPO Roofing

Energy Efficiency
TPO membranes are highly reflective, reducing the heat absorbed by your roof and lowering energy costs for cooling.
Durability
Resistant to punctures, tears, and impact damage, TPO roofing can withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy foot traffic.
Cost-Effective
Compared to other roofing materials, TPO membranes offer a balance of affordability and performance, making them a smart investment for long-term roof protection.
Eco-Friendly
TPO is 100% recyclable and free of chlorine, making it an environmentally responsible choice for sustainable building practices.

How does TPO compare to other popular flat roofing options in New Zealand?
TPO vs EPDM
TPO offers better energy efficiency due to its white reflective surface, while EPDM (black rubber) absorbs heat. TPO seams are heat-welded (stronger), while EPDM uses tape or adhesive. TPO generally has lower lifecycle costs.
TPO preferred for: Energy efficiency, seam strengthTPO vs PVC
Both use heat-welded seams, but TPO is typically 10-20% cheaper. PVC has better chemical resistance (good for restaurants, factories). TPO is more environmentally friendly (no chlorine). Both offer excellent UV resistance.
TPO preferred for: Cost, eco-friendlinessTPO vs Butynol
TPO is better for larger commercial projects; Butynol excels on smaller residential roofs. TPO installation requires specialized equipment. Butynol offers more flexibility for complex shapes. Both provide excellent waterproofing.
TPO preferred for: Large commercial, energy savingsTPO Roofing FAQs
How long does a TPO roof last?
A properly installed TPO roof typically lasts 20-30 years. Premium membranes with thicker profiles can exceed 30 years with proper maintenance. We offer extended warranties on our TPO installations.
Is TPO roofing good for New Zealand's climate?
Absolutely. TPO's UV resistance makes it ideal for NZ's high UV levels, particularly in Canterbury and Otago. The reflective surface also helps manage heat in summer, reducing cooling costs.
Can TPO be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. If the existing roof is structurally sound, we can install TPO as an overlay, reducing waste and costs. We'll assess your specific situation during our inspection.
How are TPO seams joined?
TPO seams are hot-air welded using specialized equipment. This creates a homogeneous bond that's actually stronger than the membrane itself—unlike adhesive-based systems that can fail over time.
Is TPO roofing environmentally friendly?
Yes, TPO is one of the most eco-friendly roofing options. It's 100% recyclable, contains no chlorine, and its reflective surface reduces urban heat island effects and building energy consumption.
What maintenance does a TPO roof require?
TPO requires minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections, keeping drains clear, removing debris, and promptly addressing any damage. Regular cleaning maintains the reflective properties.
