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
FAQ: What Colors Are Available in Single Ply Membranes?

Q: Can I get custom colors?
A: In some cases, yes. Certain manufacturers offer custom-color TPO or PVC membranes for unique projects.
Q: Does EPDM only come in black?
A: Black is most common, but white EPDM is also available—often paired with reflective coatings for energy efficiency.
Q: Will the color affect performance?
A: Color influences energy efficiency, but durability depends more on installation quality and material type.
