TPO and modified bitumen both work on Bonita low-slope roof coverings, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Bonita roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Concrete tile suits Bonita buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Standing seam on a Bonita property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal.
