BELOIT, Wisconsin – With new 16-foot-wide TPO rolls from Mule-Hide Products Co. Inc., crews
are more efficient and jobs get done faster.
Ideally suited to larger roofs without many penetrations or
obstructions, the wider rolls mean fewer rolls to handle,
fewer seams to weld and quality-check, and less waste to
dispose of. That can shave considerable time off project
schedules and significantly reduce labor costs on fully
adhered and induction-welded systems.
The 16-foot rolls are available in White in 45-mil, 60-mil and
80-mil thicknesses.
Wider rolls dramatically streamline the upfront work of
loading and staging materials on the roof. There are fewer
rolls to hoist to the rooftop. There is less maneuvering of
cranes – often a tricky and time-consuming task. Disruption to
normal building activities is minimized.
The 16-foot rolls cover 60% more roof area than the familiar
10-foot rolls, cutting by 40% the number of rolls that must be
moved into place, kicked out and aligned. The number of
seams that must be welded, probed and inspected is reduced
by more than 25%. There are fewer T-patches to install.
With fewer rolls required to complete the job, there is less packaging and core waste to dispose
of at the end of the job, saving time and making the wider rolls a better choice for the
environment.
Like all Mule-Hide Products TPO membranes, the new 16-foot rolls deliver an exceptional
combination of energy efficiency, long-lasting performance and affordability. They are
reinforced to easily handle building thermal expansion and contraction. They are lightweight but
highly resistant to tears, impact damage, punctures and wind uplift. The White membranes
provide industry-leading single-ply membrane reflectivity to deliver long-term reductions in
cooling costs.
