PVC vs. TPO: Why PVC Leads
When comparing single-ply membranes, PVC consistently outperforms TPO in demanding commercial applications.

-
Proven resistance to oils, greases, and industrial chemicals.

Less chemical resistance
-
Long-term performance data less conclusive.

Greater variability in seam weld strength.
At Tru-Kote, PVC is our standard specification for most commercial flat roofing projects.
