The use of thermoplastic roofing membranes has increased significantly in the last 20 years. Their benefits such as energy savings and reduced cooling costs, as well as being highly durable, means it is the most popular material in the single-ply commercial roofing industry (according to the Single Ply Roofing Association - SPRA).
Synthetic rubber roofing membranes specialist, Firestone Building Products, has recently supplied the thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roof for the ‘Reception Building’ of a ‘natural burial ground’ in Merseyside designed by architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCB).
