Whether you are currently planning new construction or reroofing an existing roof,
Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing is for you. This is because it lends itself well to all types of roofing situations, from traditional flat roofs to unusual designs.
Foam roofing systems can be applied rapidly, with little or no disruption to the facilities. In most reroofing situations there is not even a need to remove the existing roof.
The benefits of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems:
- SPF has long life and provides stability – does not shrink, settle or sag.
- SPF adds strength to the building structure.
- SPF has lightweight and high strength.
- SPF forms a seamless insulated roofing system.
- SPF protects from nature’s harshest elements, handles a variety of environmental conditions. SPF roofing systems are resistant to leaks caused by hail, wind-driven debris, and high wind blow-off. SPF has strong adhesion and wind uplift resistance.
- SPF provides reliable R-values under the most extreme conditions, dependable and durable protection against heat loss or gain.
- SPF eliminates thermal bridging which can cause higher energy usage and cost by providing a continuous layer of insulation over existing thermal bridges in the roof deck.
- SPF reduces energy use. Cool roofs (using reflective plastic coverings over SPF insulated roofs) bounce sunlight and radiant heat away from a building, helping the structure stay cool and reducing energy use for cooling.
- SPF reduces capacity requirements, maintenance and wear of HVAC equipment. ● SPF provides safe, healthy, and productive environments.
- SPF stops air and moisture infiltration through air leakage.
- SPF resists water, mildew and fungus.
- SPF minimizes dew point problems and condensation.
- SPF application process creates a seamless, water-proof, durable building envelope.
- SPF makes your home more comfortable.
- SPF keeps dust and pollen out.
- SPF eliminates drafts by completely filling seams, crevices and cracks
- SPF reduces noise. Both low and medium (2lb/cubic/ft) density SPF effectively reduce noise from outside sources by sealing cracks and gaps that allow sound to travel through the walls, floors and ceilings into the building. They are less effective against noise caused by vibration.
- SPF reduces solid waste. Roofing is one of the largest contributors of solid waste, as it is a building element that needs to be replaced. SPF roofing systems are often used to re-cover an existing roof, which can eliminate the need to tear off the roof completely. This then reduces the amount of construction material in landfills. SPF can also be applied to a variety of substrates and in various degrees of thickness to add slope and fill in low areas.
- SPF promotes sustainable environmental stewardship.
