What Colors Are Available in Single Ply Membranes?

When most people think of single ply roofing, they picture a white roof. While white is the most common option, it’s not the only one. At L&L Roofing & Construction, we install TPO, PVC, and EPDM systems in several colors so your roof can perform well and complement your property’s design.

Common Single Ply Membrane Colors

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

• Standard colors: white, light gray, tan

• Custom colors may be available from select manufacturers

• White TPO is most popular for its energy-reflective properties in Georgia’s hot summers

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

• Available in white, gray, tan

• Specialty and custom colors available for certain projects

• Maintains reflective properties similar to TPO

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)

• Most common color: black

• Also available in white (typically installed with a reflective coating)

• Black EPDM absorbs heat, which can be beneficial in cooler climates but less efficient in hot weather
