Product Data Sheet TPO COATED METAL
TPO Coated Metal is a 24-gauge galvanized steel sheet that is coated with a layer of 0.035” non-reinforced TPO flashing.
BASIC USES
TPO Coated Metal is cut into the appropriate width and used to fabricate metal drip edges or other roof perimeter edging profiles. TPO membrane may be welded directly to the coated metal edging, eliminating the need to strip in the metal with a separate piece of membrane.
