In practice, coatings suit La Puente buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. TPO and modified bitumen both work on La Puente low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
