  • Resistant to static and dynamic puncturing
  • Vapour permeable
  • Adaptable to structural movements
  • Resistant to root growth and micro-organisms
  • Does not rot

TPO - a rubber based product which is as environmentally friendly as a roofing system can get with a wide range of benefits including:
  • Excellent weld ability
  • Soft and flexible
  • Excellent dimensional stability

We offer Monolithic Liquid Coatings where intricate details exist or perhaps Aesthetics are of great importance. We work closely with the architects and the client to achieve the required job remit, and will often produce a site specific J42 specification for their projects.
