Commercial flat roof, Orheiul Vechi Hotel (451 m²)
Commercial Flat Roof with UltraPly™ TPO for a Hotel in Orheiul Vechi – the Modern Solution for Tourism and Infrastructure
In the heart of the historic area of Orheiul Vechi, one of the most visited tourist destinations in Moldova, Technobuild completed a modern flat roof for a new hotel built near a nature reserve. The area is characterized by a variable climate, strong winds and intense solar radiation, which makes the choice of waterproofing material essential for the durability of the building.
For this project, Elevate’s UltraPly™ TPO membrane was used, one of the most performing roofing systems in the world, used on thousands of commercial buildings internationally.

Why is UltraPly™ TPO ideal for a modern hotel?
The Elevate UltraPly TPO membrane is recognized globally for:
• excellent UV radiation performance, perfect for highly exposed areas;
• superior durability and stable behavior over time;
• homogeneous hot air welding, ensuring total tightness;
• high resistance to mechanical action, wind and temperature differences;
• low weight, ideal for large commercial structures;
• environmentally friendly composition, free of halogens and plasticizers;
• extremely low maintenance costs.
For a hotel, where business continuity and customer safety are a priority, the TPO membrane offers long-term protection, without interruptions or frequent repairs.
About the project
The hotel roof was designed to combine commercial functionality with a modern and minimalist design. The generous surface area and complex structure of the building required a uniform, flexible and resistant waterproofing solution.
Technobuild installed the UltraPly TPO membrane in compliance with Elevate international standards, providing the roof with stability and safety in any season.
Project-specific challenges
Being a commercial building in an open area, the project came with several challenges:
• intense sun and wind exposure, typical of the Orheiul Vechi area;
• numerous technical elements on the roof (ventilation, HVAC systems, exhaust chimneys);
• the need for an efficient drainage system to prevent water accumulation;
• the need for a quick installation, in sync with the hotel’s internal works.
Elevate’s TPO membrane proved to be the ideal solution to cover these requirements due to its flexibility, durability and speed of installation.
