TPO roofing for mobile homes in Florida

What is TPO roofing?

TPO is a single-ply membrane that is mainly installed on flat or low-slope roofs because of its weather resistance and heat reflectivity. TPO mobile home roof system is made from a combination of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. With proper care and maintenance TPO can last 15 to 30 years.

Why TPO Roofing is Good for Mobile Homes in Florida

TPO roofing systems are designed to withstand Florida’s harsh weather while also offering:

  1. Affordability: Its lower material cost and quick installation make it a cost-effective option for mobile homeowners in the area.
  2. Durability: TPO offers high resistance to tear, puncture, dirt, and mold.
  3. Heat Reflectivity: TPO is white or light colored, which reduces heat absorption and keeps indoor temperatures cooler.
  4. Low Maintenance: TPO requires less inspections and cleaning compared to other roofing systems like shingle or metal.
  5. Waterproof and seam welded: TPO has fully welded seams that won’t leak during heavy rains and hurricanes.

What is a Roof Over?

A mobile home roof over is permanent new roof system for a mobile or manufactured home. The AMS Weather-Look Roofover System combines at least 2 inches of insulation board with custom-rolled aluminum, a tri-bend fascia overhang and custom gutters, and is rated for winds of 200+ mph. Every Weather-Lok roof over is installed by AMS’s own crews and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Roof Over vs. TPO Roofing for Mobile Homes in Florida

Both systems protect Florida mobile homes, but they are built for different jobs. TPO is a single-ply membrane best suited to flat and low-slope roofs, such as Florida rooms and some flat-top homes. A Weather-Lok roof over is a complete insulated aluminum roof system for the whole home.

  • Best for: TPO – flat and low-slope roofs and add-on rooms. Weather-Lok – the entire roof of a single-wide or double-wide.
  • Insulation: TPO – reflective surface, little added insulation. Weather-Lok – at least 2 inches of insulation board.
  • Lifespan: TPO – 15 to 30 years with proper care. Weather-Lok – many AMS roof overs are still going strong after 25 to 40+ years.
  • Wind: Weather-Lok is rated for winds of 200+ mph.
  • Warranty: Weather-Lok comes with an AMS limited lifetime warranty.
