What Is A TPO Skin?
TPO skin refers to the process of installing a layer of roofing membrane over an existing roof surface. Instead of completely removing the old roof, a new TPO membrane is placed on top.

Why Use A TPO Overlay?
- Roof Longevity: The original TPO may wear out; a new layer prolongs its life.
- Cost Savings: Overlaying is much cheaper than full roof replacement.
- Quick & Smooth: Overlays are faster and less intrusive than replacements.
- Restored Efficiency: New TPO boosts reflectivity, enhancing energy savings.
