Polyurethane
Foam dries within seconds after applied to the roof surface.
Its expansion results in a weather tight roofing membrane
that is fully adhered to the substrate. Because of polyurethane's
lightweight it adds little additional weight to the structure
and is often used in remedial applications. Polyurethane Foam
has a history of more than 35 years as a maintainable roofing
medium. Polyurethane Foam adds excellent insulation value
to the structure and utility bills can reflect the difference.
Once the SPF has been applied to the proper thickness and
finish specifications, a protective layer of elastomeric coating
or gravel is applied. This protective layer produces a durable
weather resistant surface and that can be walked on for normal
maintenance.

Energy Star – Cool
Roofs Program and Benefits
ENERGY STAR qualified roof coating products reduce the amount
of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy
bills by up to 50%. The Cool Roof Program defines certain
standards for reflectivity, and maintenance of reflectivity,
in roof coating systems. These light colored roof coatings
reflect the suns heat and UV rays and often lower the temperature
of the roof by up to 100 degrees
SPF Roofing Installation
Installation of SPF involves different procedures based on
the existing roof structure. It is important to be familiar
with all state and local building codes to assure the appropriate
materials and procedures meet the necessary requirements in
your area. |
