Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing is a great choice for a durable, reliable, and energy-efficient roof. It is the perfect solution for homes or commercial buildings that require high standards of performance and protection. This type of roofing system starts with two liquid chemicals called isocyanate and polyol which are combined to form the base layer of your new roof. The result is an extremely solid, continuous membrane that is then covered with a protective surface to provide additional protection from the elements such as sunlight, rain, snow, and wind.

How is sprayed polyurethane foam roofing beneficial?

SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam) roofing is beneficial for both commercial and residential purposes. For one, SPF roofs provide incredibly durable protection against hail and wind damage.
Additionally, they offer superb water tightness due to the seamless cover it provides. Even better, SPF roof systems are highly resistant to heat thanks to their stellar R-value (the measure of a material's resistance to heat flow), making it more efficient in hot climates than other roofing materials.
Moreover, its liquid application allows it to be fitted in even very tight spaces and can be customized to meet drainage needs.

With all these incredible benefits, it's no wonder why SPF roofing continues to become more popular with homeowners and business owners alike!

How is SPF applied?

The application of foam roofing sees the sprayed material expand to 32 times its original thickness. This process takes experienced SPF installers who know how to adjust the heat and cold in the roof deck and material. Achieving a seamless coating requires accurate spraying of the foam with just the right thickness and taper, ensuring complete weatherproofing not only while it's fresh but also in the coming years. Given this knowledge, you can have peace of mind that your roof is completely protected.

Can SPF be applied over my existing roof?

If you want to protect your roof from the sun’s harmful rays without needing to replace the existing roofing, then having SPF applied can be a viable solution. A spray-applied foam product is placed on top of the existing roof and forms a seal that protects against UV rays, wind, and water. This application can add years to the life of your roof and will save substantial amounts of money in the long run. Talk to a roofing and insulation contractor specializing in SPF applications to get an expert opinion on whether it is right for your building or not.

How long has sprayed polyurethane foam roofing been in existence?

SPF roofing is a remarkable roofing system that has been around since the 1960s, but not many people know about it. It has proven to be extremely reliable and efficient over the years, often being used in industrial, commercial, and residential facilities. After installation by certified contractors, SPF roofing boasts excellent insulation properties and waterproof capabilities. Not to mention, its resistance to extreme temperatures makes it ideal for variable climates.

When does SPF need to be replaced?

Ultimately, SPF boasts low maintenance costs while helping to improve the overall insulation of your residential or commercial building. Thus, SPF offers both performance and cost savings in equal measure. Spray polyurethane foam roofs are a great option for many structures as they often require very little maintenance and can go 10 to 20 years without needing to be re-coated.

However, when the time to recoat does come it is important to do so in order to maintain the roof’s durability and maximize its lifespan. To effectively determine when it's time to recoat your foam roof, the best practice is to measure the remaining coating thickness - that way you can make sure that before the U.V. protection is compromised, you have already recoated your spray polyurethane foam with a protective layer.
