Put simply, tPO and modified bitumen both work on Outer Mission low-slope roof coverings, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Mixing materials across a Outer Mission roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
