Abstract
Over the last decade, in a concerted effort to learn more about the weathering characteristics of TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) single ply roof membranes, WSRCA has conducted an in-situ roof research and testing program. The program consists of what may be referred to as "weathering farms" utilizing four, full-scale, test roofs, each divided into four sections in order to incorporate the four TPO roofing membranes and allow study of the effects ofreal-world weathering on TPO membranes in four distinctly different climate regions in Western North America.
