Firestone 'Ultraply'
TPO roofing membrane
Firestone TPO roofing systems are based on Ultraply®, a thermoplastic polyolefin membrane. Firestone Ultraply TPO Roofing Systems offer an alternative solution when looking for a white or light coloured, energy efficient roofing system with hot-air welded seams.
The success of Firestone RubberGard EPDM can be attributed to its unique combination of benefits.
Firestone Ultraply TPO is the smart choice when seeking a white or light coloured, environmentally friendly roofing system, that combines aesthetics with strong resistance to ultraviolet radiation, weathering and outstanding seam strength.
Ultraply TPO is a proprietary thermoplastic polyolefin combining polypropylene and ethylene propylene rubber. The scrim-reinforced membrane combines the weatherability of rubber with the heat weldability of a thermoplastic in a highly flexible sheet with excellent layflat characteristics.'
