Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Roofing

Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Roofing

Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing systems have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility and ability to adhere to a wide variety of substrates, including metal, wood, concrete, and built-up roofing (BUR). One of the main advantages of SPF roofing systems is their ability to add little weight to existing roof coverings, making them an ideal choice for recover roofing systems.

SPF roofing systems are composed of two main components: a liquid isocyanate and a liquid resin. These two components are mixed on site and then sprayed onto the existing roof substrate. As the mixture is sprayed, it expands and forms a solid, seamless, and waterproof layer. This layer provides excellent insulation and energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.

One of the key benefits of SPF roofing systems is their excellent adhesion properties. SPF roofing systems can be applied to a wide variety of substrates, including metal, wood, concrete, and BUR. This makes them an ideal choice for recover roofing systems, where the existing roof covering is left in place and the SPF layer is applied directly on top. The adhesion properties of SPF roofing systems ensure that the new layer is securely bonded to the existing roof covering, providing a seamless and watertight barrier.

In addition to their excellent adhesion properties, SPF roofing systems are also able to build slope to fill in low areas. This means that they can be used to correct problems with ponding water, which is a common issue on flat roofs. By building up the slope of the roof, SPF roofing systems help to ensure that water is properly drained away, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage.

Another advantage of SPF roofing systems is their durability. When properly installed and maintained, SPF roofing systems can last for decades, providing excellent protection against the elements. They are also able to withstand foot traffic and other types of mechanical stress, making them an ideal choice for commercial and industrial applications.

Overall, SPF roofing systems are an excellent choice for recover roofing applications. Their ability to adhere to a wide variety of substrates, build slope to fill in low areas, and provide long-lasting protection make them a popular choice for commercial and industrial roofing projects.
