Convert your roof into a money making asset with a TPO Membrane

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 12, 2010 -- IPS UK Ltd announces the launch of its TPO Membrane, an affordable way to integrate photovoltaic technology into your roofing system.

With the rising interest in protection of the environment and the development of the solar technology, photovoltaic systems represents an increasingly important type of renewable energy. The photovoltaic technology has been developed to the point it enables a significant part of the future energy supply to be produced in an environmentally friendly manner. PV cells is a renewable energy source with contributes to climate protection whilst ensuring sustainable development.

Crystalline silicon is the original material used by the PV industry. Considerable advances have been made in this type of technology but still crystalline modules remain bulky, break easily and consume a high energy during manufacture. Thin film solar cells as recently developed are highly resistant and use far less raw material.

The importance of PV in architecture is also growing. As a result of the advance in technology, thin films made of amorphous cells now offer the possibility to install modules over large roof areas. They are lightweight and flexible, so they can be integrated into most roof structures, while maintaining the main goal, i.e. generate optimal energy input.

TPO membrane is a new generation membrane which incorporates the best of what PVC and EPDM have to offer. The concept of mixing Polypropylene (PP) and Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) is now a proven concept, as TPO/FPA membranes installed 15 years ago keep showing outstanding performances.

Today, TPO membrane is the fastest growing segment in the single ply roofing market. These membranes have gained acceptance and recognition from roofing contractors, consultants, architects and building owners. Over 50 million m2 of TPO membrane roofing systems are now successfully installed every year worldwide.

The success of TPO membrane is due to its intrinsic nature. The TPO membrane is totally inert, it contains no plasticiser or other component which can migrate with time, causing the product to become brittle or shrink. Furthermore, it is totally non toxic and recyclable.
