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.
