"We have been working for two years on our proprietary FR formulation package, which meets all UL and FM requirements" said Joseph A. Stassi, marketing manager at Johns Manville for single ply systems. "We are pleased to be able to offer our customers another single ply option within our family of products, all of which are covered under our comprehensive guarantee."

 

The new TPO product complements the JM single ply roofing lines of PVC and EPDM membranes and adds depth to the heat weldable product selection. Its highly reflective white surface is very desirable for owners and specifiers who are concerned about aesthetics and solar heat loading. It is ideal for buildings designed with different levels and sections and also has significant seam strength. Roofing contractors also like the ease with which the TPO membrane can be installed, which results in labor savings and faster application.
