FiberTite® & TPO Roofing for Major Projects: Why It’s Time to Upgrade Your Roof
By Gerardo Baricelli
If you manage warehouses, commercial buildings, or large infrastructure that needs a roof update, choosing the right system matters. As an authorized distributor, BCS.LLC delivers top-tier FiberTite® single-ply roofing systems—ideal for those seeking durability, performance, and long-term value.
Here’s a powerful real-world example that shows exactly why FiberTite® stands out:
Case Study: “Proven Under Fire” — FiberTite vs TPO, Side by Side
In Goldsboro, North Carolina, a facility by Prolec® GE installed both a 45-mil FiberTite® membrane and a TPO section on the same building. When a fire broke out in a nearby salvage yard, embers rained down across the facility.
- The TPO section developed dozens of holes, allowing rain and moisture to penetrate, potentially risking equipment and operations.
- The FiberTite section remained intact, resisting the fire’s impact, preventing leaks, and allowing the facility to continue operations uninterrupted.
- After the event, the owner replaced the damaged TPO with FiberTite entirely.
This is not just theory—the membrane’s design proved its strength under real-world stress.

Another High-Performance Example: Westin Denver at DIA
At Denver International Airport, the Westin Hotel is part of the airport’s transit center. The roof had to endure extreme mountain climates—snow, hail, high UV exposure—and even jet-fuel fallout due to proximity to planes.
BCS and FiberTite® were part of the solution:
They used FiberTite XT (reinforced membrane) with insulation and vapor barrier layers to meet structural and performance demands.
The installation had to align with airport security protocols and debris control to maintain runway safety.
The result: a resilient, long-lasting roof system that meets both architectural vision and performance demands.
