Next-Generation Waterproofing Solutions by Boz Altınay Construction Industries Inc.

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane systems are innovative and long-lasting waterproofing solutions. Widely used in roofing applications, these membranes are known for their exceptional flexibility, UV resistance, chemical durability, and ease of installation. Produced using advanced manufacturing technologies, they offer reliable performance under harsh weather and industrial conditions.

What is TPO / PVC Membrane?

TPO Membrane is an eco-friendly, recyclable thermoplastic made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It is particularly valued for its environmental safety and UV resistance.

PVC Membrane is a vinyl-based waterproofing system enhanced with plasticizers for flexibility. It’s especially suitable for environments with high chemical exposure, offering strong resistance against acids, oils, and industrial pollutants.
Both systems are installed using hot air welding, ensuring seamless, watertight joints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the difference between TPO and PVC membranes?

TPO is more environmentally friendly and offers better UV resistance. PVC provides superior chemical resistance, making it ideal for harsh industrial conditions. Both offer long service life and excellent performance.

How long does installation take?

Depending on the size, a 1,000 m² roof can typically be completed in 3 to 5 days by a professional crew.

What are the installation methods?

• Mechanically Fastened (with screws and anchors)
• Fully Adhered (ideal for low-wind areas)
• Ballasted Systems (e.g., green roofs with gravel or vegetation)

Are the seams watertight?

Yes. TPO and PVC seams are welded with hot air equipment, ensuring 100% leak-proof joints.

Can solar panels be installed on top?

Absolutely. Both TPO and PVC membranes are compatible with solar panel systems. Their high UV resistance ensures long-term durability even under constant sun exposure.
