Anyone had experience with TPA single ply roofing?
We're looking into it for our shop roof. Had a roofer look at it yesterday to give us a bid.
Looked into this system a few years back, a roofer looked at it, said the insulation that goes under it had to be screwed down to the existing roof.
Part of the building, 100'x 100', has a cement roof, 2'x 4' panels poured about 1 1/2" thick over sheetrock. That could be screwed down, but it would look bad as the inside is exposed.
The other side of the shop, 100'x 200', is a metal roof with insulation and tar/gravel over that. Then it has been overlaid with another thin layer of insulation and an epoxy sealer. This side cannot be screwed down because there is electrical conduit attached directly to the inside, too much danger of running a screw through the conduit.
The first roofer said if he could not screw it down, he could not do the job.
The roofer that was here yesterday said he could remove the old roofing down to the metal or concrete, clean it up and epoxy the insulation down.
Any opinions?
Thanks!
