TPO Roofing - Freedom HW

EverGuard® TPO HW Membrane

Self-Adhering Roofing Membrane

EverGuard® Freedom™ TPO HW is a self-adhered membrane with a heat weldable seam available in 45 mil and 60 mil thickness in 2 versatile colors: ENERGY STAR® qualified white and earth tone tan. Freedom™ membranes combine EverGuard® ’s proven TPO technology with an added engineered adhesive preapplied to the bottom of the sheet for quick, hassle-free installation. Freedom™ HW membrane includes a traditional 3” heat weldable seam. Freedom™ membranes are especially suited for schools and hospitals, high-rises and limited access buildings, and coastal locations and areas subject to extreme wind conditions. Advantages include no open flames or hot asphalt on your roof and the factory-applied adhesive eliminates guesswork or uncertainty by the installer, resulting in uniform application.
