Rubber and TPO Roofing Solutions
When it comes to flat and low-slope roofing systems, rubber (EPDM) and TPO membranes stand as two of the most reliable and widely adopted materials in the modern roofing market. At Ardon Roofing, we specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of both rubber and TPO roofing systems for commercial buildings, multi-family properties, and residential structures that feature flat or low-slope designs. Our experienced team brings precision and care to every installation, ensuring that your roof performs reliably for decades to come.
Choosing the right membrane material for your property involves understanding the unique benefits each system offers. Whether you operate a warehouse, manage an apartment complex, own a small business, or have a modern home with a flat roof section, we provide tailored recommendations based on your building’s structure, climate exposure, and long-term goals. As a GAF Certified contractor serving Tarzana, CA and surrounding areas, we apply manufacturer-approved techniques to deliver results that meet the highest standards.
Understanding TPO Roofing Systems
Thermoplastic Polyolefin, commonly known as TPO, has rapidly become one of the most popular single-ply roofing membranes available today. TPO combines the durability of rubber with the performance benefits of hot-air weldable seams, creating a watertight system that resists punctures, tears, and damage from environmental exposure. The reflective white surface of most TPO membranes also helps reduce cooling costs by reflecting UV rays away from the building.
Our TPO installation process begins with a thorough inspection of the existing roof deck and substrate. We remove any compromised material, install appropriate insulation boards to meet current energy code requirements, and then mechanically fasten or fully adhere the TPO membrane depending on the project specifications. Seams are heat-welded using specialized equipment, creating bonds that are often stronger than the membrane itself. Standard TPO thicknesses range from 45 mil to 80 mil, and we help clients select the appropriate gauge based on traffic, weather exposure, and warranty preferences.
Rubber (EPDM) Roofing Expertise
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, or EPDM, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane that has proven itself across more than five decades of real-world performance. EPDM offers exceptional flexibility, allowing it to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations without cracking or splitting. Its proven longevity makes it a favorite for building owners who want a low-maintenance solution that can last 25 to 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained.
We install EPDM in fully adhered, mechanically fastened, and ballasted configurations depending on building requirements and structural considerations. Black EPDM absorbs heat in colder climates which can help with snow melt, while white EPDM provides reflective properties similar to TPO. Our crews pay particular attention to seam preparation, flashing details around penetrations, and proper termination at parapet walls and roof edges, since these areas are where most rubber roof failures originate.
