Advanced Protection™ TPO

Get Advanced Protection™ TPO For Your Property...Only From GAF!GAF EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection™ TPO is the best-performing TPO you can buy for your property. Its patent-pending technology not only results in next-generation performance against heat aging and UV degradation (the two key performance characteristics directly related to roof system longevity), but also exceeds all key ASTM standards for TPO membranes. Why settle for anything less when you can get the advanced protection of EverGuard Extreme® TPO for your property? Check out tporesults.com for the results of the largest independent TPO study ever done.

EverGuard Extreme® TPO Far Exceeds The Performance Of Typical TPO MembranesOther TPO roofing sold today simply cannot match the performance of EverGuard Extreme®. It uses a proprietary formulation of stabilizers and UV absorbers to achieve performance levels far beyond current roofing standards. To prove it, we tested EverGuard Extreme® TPO against typical TPO membranes for the two key performance attributes most highly sought after in TPO membranes: heat aging and UV weathering. The results were astounding— which is why we back EverGuard Extreme® with the industry’s best guarantees: up to 35 years!

EverGuard Extreme® TPO vs. Standard TPO MembranesIn 280ºF (137.8ºC) Heat-Aging Tests...

(lower is better)

EverGuard Extreme® TPO Has More Than Double The Performance Of Standard TPO Membranes In Heat-Aging Tests...Why is this important? Because heat can severely degrade standard TPO membranes over time. So we tested EverGuard Extreme® TPO against the three leading TPO membranes at 280°F (137.8°C)—a temperature beyond the most rigorous proposed ASTM tests. As you can see in the chart (and the unretouched photos below), EverGuard Extreme® TPO significantly outperformed the competition when exposed to damaging heat.

EverGuard Extreme® TPO (top of membrane)

Competitor’s TPO (top of membrane)

EverGuard Extreme® TPO (bottom of membrane)

Competitor’s TPO (bottom of membrane)

Even after the most severe accelerated heat aging at 280ºF (137.8°C), EverGuard Extreme® TPO still looks brand new!

But, a leading competitor’s standard TPO shows severe deterioration on both the top and bottom of the membrane.

See The Proof...

Plus, EverGuard Extreme® TPO Exceeds All Of The Performance Standards Of ASTM D6878...Not only does EverGuard Extreme® TPO exceed the weathering and heat-aging standards of D6878, but its performance in all of the other critical performance measures far exceeds the minimum requirements—in most cases by more than double.

More than double the seam strength... for a long-lasting, water-tight roof.

EverGuard Extreme® TPO vs. Standard TPO MembranesIn 280ºF (137.8ºC) Heat-Aging Tests...

(lower is better)

EverGuard Extreme® TPO Far Exceeds Typical TPO Membranes In UV Weathering Tests...Based on the ASTM D6878 Xenon Arc Weatherometer testing method, EverGuard Extreme® TPO far exceeds the performance of typical TPO membranes—more than double in most cases. Why is that important? Because the ASTM weathering test is a proxy for how well the membrane will stand up to the long-term ravages of UV degradation, the key destroyer of long-term TPO membrane performance.

We Even Tested EverGuard Extreme® TPO Using The Most Severe Testing Method We Know...The Atlas Ultra Accelerated Weathering System (UAWS) is the ultimate test for TPO membranes because it combines concentrated UV, heat, and light into one torturous test. Even under these ultra-extreme conditions, EverGuard Extreme® TPO lasted over 265 days—the equivalent of over 45 years in the harsh climate of southern Florida. Imagine how long it would last on your roof!

The EverGuard® Diamond Pledge™ NDL Roof Guarantee Is Your Best Choice—And There’s No Exclusion For Ponding Water!

50 mil & 70 mil EverGuard Extreme®: Your “Everyday” Choices In TPOGAF’s 50 mil and 70 mil versions of EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection™ TPO have virtually identical weathering characteristics as our 60 mil and 80 mil versions.

What does that mean for you? 50 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO offers excellent performance to typical 60 mil TPO—but for virtually the same price! The same is true for 70 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO, which is similar in price to typical 80 mil TPO, but with excellent performance.

With EverGuard Extreme® TPO, you’ll never have to choose between performance and price— you’ll get both. And with our 50 mil and 70 mil versions, you’ll have more design choices than ever. So why use anything else?

EverGuard Extreme® Is Now Your “Everyday Choice” In TPO Roofing...

* Must be installed within 10 years of original roof installation. See EverGuard® Diamond Pledge™ NDL Roof Guarantee for complete coverage and restrictions. NDL guarantees greater than 25 years are not eligible for WellRoof ® Guarantee Extension.

If you’re considering a TPO roof for your property, EverGuard Extreme® Advanced Protection™ TPO is your best choice.

Solar InstallationsThe temperature under building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can reach as high as 190˚F (87.8˚C). Standard TPO formulations can fail in accelerated heat-aging studies in as little as 40 days—the equivalent of less than 15 years in actual use. Without the enhanced UV and heat-protection package in EverGuard Extreme® TPO, your expensive BIPV roof may be subject to premature failure. And removing BIPV to repair or replace a failed roofing membrane is very expensive.

Even if you’re not ready to install BIPV today, an EverGuard Extreme® system allows you to install a high-performance, long-term guaranteed (up to 35 years) TPO roof today—and defer the expense of a solar system to a later date, without guarantee disruption!*

Vegetative RoofingAs vegetative roofs become more popular, you may some day consider adding one to your existing roofing system. With EverGuard Extreme® TPO, you can install the roof today and defer the expense of a vegetative system to a later date, without guarantee disruption!*

Replacing Standard TPOWhy use standard TPO on your property when you can get the incredible performance and protection of EverGuard Extreme® TPO? In the past, upgrading a standard 60 mil TPO with 60 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO typically meant an increase in your roofing cost. But now, you can replace 60 mil standard TPO with our new 50 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO— so you’ll get better protection for about the same price!

High-Heat ApplicationsThe sun’s rays can be reflected and magnified off nearby buildings’ windows, causing increased heat loads on your property’s TPO roof. They can also be reflected from your roof’s parapet walls or other reflective surfaces onto the roof. Either or both conditions can result in premature aging of your roof. But not with EverGuard Extreme® TPO. Its proprietary formulation is designed to handle these high-heat applications with ease.
