New Construction Hotel Roof in Nashville – Candlewood Suites Commercial Roofing Project

MidSouth Construction, LLC was awarded the commercial roofing contract for the installation of a new Carlisle SynTec fully adhered TPO roofing system on the newly constructed Candlewood Suites Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.

This hospitality roofing project required precise drainage design, manufacturer-certified installation, and long-term performance engineering suitable for a multi-story commercial structure in Middle Tennessee’s hot, humid climate.

Commercial Roofing Installation at Candlewood Suites – Nashville, TN

Our commercial roofing division installed a fully adhered Carlisle SynTec TPO membrane system over a structural concrete deck. Because concrete decks are inherently flat, proper drainage design was critical.

To ensure long-term performance and prevent ponding water, our team engineered and installed a custom tapered insulation system adhered using Carlisle FAST™ 100 insulation adhesive. This system creates positive slope toward internal roof drains while maintaining structural integrity and thermal efficiency.

Scope of Work Included:

• Fully adhered Carlisle SynTec TPO membrane

• Tapered polyisocyanurate insulation system

• FAST™ 100 insulation adhesive application

• Heat-welded seams for watertight integrity

• Positive drainage design to interior drains

• Manufacturer-compliant installation procedures

This system meets manufacturer specifications and qualifies for a Carlisle-backed warranty in addition to MidSouth Construction’s workmanship warranty.

Why TPO Roofing Is Ideal for Hotel Construction in Nashville

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is one of the fastest-growing roofing systems in commercial construction, particularly in the hospitality sector.

Hotels in Nashville require roofing systems that provide:

• Energy efficiency in high summer temperatures

• UV resistance

• Strong seam integrity

• Low lifecycle maintenance costs

• Wind uplift resistance

• Long-term watertight performance

Carlisle SynTec TPO membranes are heat-welded at the seams, creating monolithic bonding that increases resistance to leaks and seam separation. Reflective TPO membranes can also reduce rooftop heat absorption, which may help reduce HVAC strain during peak summer months in Davidson County.

Engineered Drainage: Why Tapered Insulation Matters

Flat commercial roofs are not truly flat — they must be engineered for proper slope.

Improper drainage leads to:

• Ponding water

• Membrane deterioration

• Structural stress

• Premature system failure

By installing a tapered insulation package, MidSouth Construction ensured positive drainage in compliance with commercial roofing best practices. This design element significantly extends roof lifespan and reduces long-term maintenance exposure.
