Spray Foam Coating
Spray foam is an extremely versatile material and can cover any type of roof. Its ability to overcoat existing roofs with hot, sticky polyurethane avoids costly replacement, removal, and landfill expenses.

Using plural-component spray equipment, spray foam is applied as a liquid. It then expands approximately 30 times its original liquid volume to form a hard, closed-cell monolithic roof surface that fills all cracks and crevices. After it is applied, it cures in a few seconds and completely adheres to the substrate.
This creates a weather-tight roofing membrane that can be walked on for maintenance, barely adds weight to your roof, and increases energy efficiency.

The Advantages Of Spray Foam Systems
Easy Application On Flat Roofs
Spray foam is superior when it comes to installing over a flat area, as installers can taper the roofing system with one material rather than involving several. It can also be spray-applied to penetrations and vertical wall terminations, making them integral components in avoiding known leak points.
Durable, Walkable, & Solar Roof Approved
A spray foam roof quickly dispels the preconceived notion that a foam roof is made up of soft foam. Quite the contrary, they are very durable and can handle construction and foot traffic well. R-Value from Density $ High Density in spray foam means a higher R-Value and increased strength, that is 3 lb if density has an R-value of 7.14 when installed. Finally, when combined with a cool roof coating it can reduce your cooling cost by up to 50%!!!
Long Lifespan
The lifespan of a spray foam roof can be long, as long as the coating protecting the foam is properly maintained. Depending on the amount of coating installed, the roof should be cleaned, primed, and re-coated every 15 to 20 years. A quality spray foam roof can last 50 years or longer if this is done.
No Seams = No Leaks!
Spray foam is self-flashing, conforms to the roof substrate, and creates a seamless system in which the seams that would otherwise allow water and air infiltration from the roof into the building are closed up. Having a seamless system also eliminates ice damming during the winter season and eliminates any water pooling and ponding on the roof that can cause significant weight on the roof.
Protective Coating
A protective layer, whether it is gravel or an elastomeric coating, is applied after the spray foam has been applied to its finish specifications and proper thickness. The protective layer can be walked on for regular maintenance and it gives the roof a durable, weather-resistant surface.
Lightweight System
Consider the average weight of traditional roof insulation for conventional built-up roof systems. It is nearly three pounds per cubic foot, whereas an inch of spray polyurethane foam weighs approximately 60 pounds per 100 square feet. A spray foam roofing system is roughly 10 percent of what a conventional built-up roofing system is (600 pounds per 100 square feet). This makes the spray foam roof easy to maintain.
