Commercial Modified Bitumen and TPO Roofing Installations
The Modified Bitumen roofing system and the TPO roofing system for commercial buildings are similar in many ways and each offer various benefits for commercial roofing applications.
Both are flat roofing systems that offer uniformity with great control over the installation and thickness or each layered install along with the benefit of handling all types of weather and temperatures.

Modified Bitumen Commercial Roofing
This system was developed in Europe during the sixties and introduced in the U.S. in the early seventies. The term “modified” refers to the addition of plastic or rubber-based polymeric binders to the asphalt or “bitumen” to improve its performance and durability.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems are usually assembled using one, two or three plies. The Modified Bitumen Membrane itself is made up of multiple layers in what is essentially a “factory assembled” built-up roof.
During the manufacturing process several coats or laminations of modified bitumen are reinforced with a woven fiberglass, or polyester fabric-reinforcing mat or a combination of both. They are then finished with either a smooth or granular top surface. The Granular type comes in different colors. The smooth surface type is then coated with either aluminum or white surfacing on site.
The coatings are used to deflect the damage from ultra-violet rays from the sun as well as cooling the roof surface.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems exhibits many characteristics of a built-up roof (BUR), yet affords the ease of application of a single-ply system.
The offering of various specifications allows for multiple ply, which provide redundancy and exceptional puncture resistance to heavy traffic, punctures and tears as well.
Modified Bitumen membranes also have low temperature flexibility and are resistant to membrane fatigue.
Commercial TPO Roofing
ATPO or Thermoplastic Olefin is a very flexible composition of polypropylene and also ethylene propylene which is well suited for any existing flat or low-sloped surface area for your current commercial building. It is rubber-like, expands and contracts with structure fluctuation as well as local climate variances.
A TPO roof system lessens the associated risk of breaks and peeling that happen to various other commercial roofing construction materials.
TPO formulation is based on advanced polymerization technology that combines the flexibility of ethylene-propylene (EP) rubber with the heat weldability of polypropylene. Physical properties of the membrane are enhanced by a strong polyester fabric that is encapsulated between the TPO-based top and bottom ply.
The combination of the fabric and TPO ply provides reinforced membranes with:
- High breaking strength
- Tearing strength
- Puncture resistance
The relatively smooth surface of the membrane produces a total surface fusion weld that creates a consistent, watertight monolithic roof assembly.
The membrane is environmentally friendly and safe to install. The number one ingredient to a good roof system is proper installation, and we are experts.
You can feel confident choosing Clear Choice Roofing for all of your TPO roofing needs.

Common Questions
How can I maintain my metal roof to prolong its durability?
Schedule annual inspections, keep valleys and gutters clear, and monitor fasteners, seams, and sealant at flashings. These actions preserve system performance and help keep your warranty valid after installation.
Can I schedule a roof inspection before deciding on a metal roofing replacement?
Absolutely! We evaluate deck integrity, underlayment condition, ventilation balance, and existing panels to determine whether targeted repair or full metal roof replacement offers the best value.
What type of warranties do you offer on your metal roofing installations?
We provide workmanship coverage and manufacturer warranties tailored to the chosen metal system and finish. Our team explains coverages, timelines, and maintenance requirements so you know exactly how to protect your investment.
What type of metal roof is most expensive?
Premium metals like copper and zinc, as well as complex standing seam assemblies, tend to cost more due to material price and specialized labor. Many homeowners choose steel or aluminum standing seam to balance value and performance.
Which roof design is best for metal?
The ideal design depends on slope, geometry, and climate:
- Gable roofs allow efficient water shedding and straightforward panel layout.
- Hip roofs provide strong wind resistance but need careful seam planning.
- Low-slope sections can work with mechanically seamed standing seam, provided details and drainage are engineered correctly.
Our team recommends the optimal approach after assessing pitch, reinforcements, and project goals.
Which roofing is cheaper?
Asphalt shingles typically cost less upfront. Still, many clients choose metal roofing for long-term value in durability, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance.
What are the different types of metal roofing materials?
Aluminum (lightweight, corrosion-resistant), steel (strong, cost-effective), zinc (self-healing patina), and copper (premium, timeless). Each pair with specific gauges, coatings, and finishes to maximize service life.
What is metal roofing installation?
It includes tear-off (if required), substrate repair, underlayment application, precise panel or shingle placement, seam fastening/locking, trim and edge flashings, and a final quality inspection to deliver a weather-tight assembly.
