GenFlex
TPO membrane was introduced in 1996 and is manufactured
at our state-of-the-art extrusion technology facility
in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where we have produced the
industry’s first 12-foot wide sheet meeting industry
code requirements.
The
12-foot wide sheet offers significant benefits including
fewer seams to weld and fewer panels to install. With
fewer seams and fewer panels for most applications,
there is a significant cost advantage to a 12-foot fully
adhered system. Compared to a 10-foot system, the wide
sheet application requires 16% fewer seams—33%
fewer than an 8-foot system, and 50% fewer than a 6-foot
system. |
GenFlex
TPO membrane, a high quality thermoplastic polyolefin,
offers the “best of both worlds”...the proven
flexibility and weathering resistance of rubber and
the performance of hot-air welded thermoplastic seams.
GenFlex TPO membrane meets all the requirements of the
new TPO ASTM Standard D 6878-03.
Heat-welded
thermoplastic roofing membranes are the fastest growing
segment of the low-slope roofing market and GenFlex
TPO is an excellent system choice. GenFlex TPO roofing
systems are designed for durability and to withstand
extreme environmental exposure. GenFlex TPO systems
offer the widest selection in both product and system
types. From dual weld seams to Peel & Stick systems,
GenFlex has the TPO products you need for mechanically
anchored to fully adhered systems with warranties up
to 20 years depending on the system design. |

GenFlex
TPO membranes are produced with a minimum top ply film
thickness of 15 mils over scrim. This top ply has outstanding
weathering and welding characteristics in addition to
a smooth finish designed to resist dirt accumulation
for long-term aesthetics.
Introduced
in 2003, the GenFlex Peel & Stick™ TPO Membrane
System is truly a revolutionary new era in roofing.
Peel & Stick TPO membranes and accessories have
pre-applied adhesive and tape, making installation faster,
easier, safer and smarter.
No
application of bonding adhesive means little or no solvent
fumes for crews and no exposure to building occupants
during installation. This new Peel & Stick technology
can also eliminate the need for generators and walker
welders which also add up to greater economy and efficiency |
The GenFlex Peel & Stick Membrane System cuts membrane
installation time and significantly reduces labor. The UL
and FM code rated membrane is simply aligned on the approved
substrate, then the release liner is removed and the membrane
is broomed down with positive pressure to ensure adhesion.
It’s that simple. TPO accessories, pipe boots, seam
tape and TPO cover tape all go down quick, clean and easy
with GenFlex Peel & Stick technology.
