It is easy to repair through an environmentally friendly heat welding process.</p> <p class="defaultfont">Alpha Systems also manufactures the roofing adhesives and sealants necessary to best fit your manufacturing or construction applications of Royal Tuff-Ply TPO.</p> <p class="boldfont">Cleaning and Maintaining the Royal Tuff-Ply Roof</p> <p class="defaultfont">Proper care, cleaning and maintenance of TPO roofing is quite simple due to the basic properties and longevity of the material. Periodic cleaning is the primary maintenance needed. Alpha Systems recommends using Murphy's Oil Soap® with a soft nylon brush or sponge to clean Tuff-Ply.</p> <p class="defaultfont">DO NOT USE SOLID OR GRANULATED CLEANERS, as they will mar the natural finish.</p> <p class="defaultfont">DO NOT USE ARMOR-ALL® OR OTHER OIL OR SOLVENT-BASED CLEANERS, as they will leave a slick surface and possibly damage the membrane.</p> <p class="defaultfont">A thorough cleaning with moderate scrubbing action, per the suggestions above, should remove most stains and keep the roof looking good. For removal of more stubborn stains, contact Alpha Systems Customer Service at (574-295-5206).</p> <p class="defaultfont">Annual roof inspection is recommended. Check the membrane for possible damage and check the caulk or lap sealant used in all termination areas and around all accessories and fasteners.</p>
