We all know that roofing systems are designed and installed to be waterproof, but did you know that traditional non-insulated roofs can account for up to 40% of your electricity costs? Spray polyurethane foam roofing systems are specifically created to not only act as a waterproof roof system but perform as a high-quality insulation system. For each inch of SPF, you get an insulation value of R-7!
Anyone with experience in roofing will tell you that the failure points for most roof systems are at the seams. With the exception of some heat-welded systems, all roofs become vulnerable to water leaks as they age. Another failure point occurs around flashing, which covers spaces in roofing created through vents, joints, and other protrusions. SPF roofing addresses both concerns, among its many other benefits.
Leak Prevention | SPF itself will never absorb water, unlike most other roofing materials. It provides a single, monolithic barrier against rain and provides excellent protection against water infiltration.
Temperature Regulation | SPF roofing reflects a great deal of the sun’s harmful radiation and keeps your structure cooler throughout the hottest times of the year. Spray foam roofing has an R-value of approximately 6.5 per inch. As a superior insulator, spray foam roofing also keeps cool and hot air contained within your structure making a substantial improvement on how hard your HVAC has to perform.
Longevity | With regular maintenance, a spray foam roof will last the entire life of your building. As other roof systems age and require removal and replacement, SPF will merely require a new topcoat of material every 15 years or so. As long as you maintain the top layer, spray polyurethane foam roofing will practically last forever.
