GAF Announces New Additions to Advanced Protection TPO Product Line
WAYNE, N.J. — GAF announces two new additions to its EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection® TPO product line: 50 mil and 70 mil thicknesses. The addition of these new thicknesses will allow contractors to offer the next-generation performance advantages of EverGuard Extreme® TPO, but at prices that are competitive with “standard” 60 mil and 80 mil TPO. This combination of performance and price has never before been available in the roofing industry.
In 2012, GAF introduced EverGuard Extreme® TPO, a patent-pending, next-generation TPO roofing membrane in 60 mil and 80 mil thicknesses. Unlike standard TPO, EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection® TPO incorporates proprietary technology that resists the damaging effects of high heat and UV, resulting in a TPO membrane with next-generation weathering performance. EverGuard Extreme® can even meet the extremely demanding performance requirements of roofs that include building-integrated solar systems. These high-heat applications can literally “fry” standard TPO membranes after surprisingly short periods of use. EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection® TPO exceeds not only the weathering and heat-aging standards of D6878 but also all of the other critical performance standards, according to the company.
