SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam) Roofing for Commercial Buildings
A uniquely different approach to roofing. These systems are lightweight, non-toxic, durable and weather-resistant. SPF roofs allow you to save money on the installation (as the roof tear-off is not always necessary) and enables you to cover complex contours or intricate architectural elements.
What is SPF Roofing?
The SPF roof system is composed of two liquid chemical compounds called isocyanate and polyol that are applied with pressure and heat. On contact, they form the base of an adhered roof system. A protective surface is then applied to the foam to provide an added barrier against the elements. Developed in the late 1960s, SPF systems are time-tested and highly popular in the commercial roofing industry.
SPF Roofing Cost
One of the most remarkable features of SPF roofs is the ease of roof overs. If your existing installation is still in good condition, as determined by your roofing contractor, foam systems can be easily applied over your roof, preserving your budget. Fortunately, because of its outstanding insulating properties, SPF systems will help save on your heating and cooling budget.
Advantages of SPF Roofing
Seamless
SPF systems are seamless with no fasteners required. The possibility of a roof leak drastically drops as water intrusion often starts at the seams. In addition, SPF may insulate cracks and other weak points in your building itself.
Outstanding insulation
SPF roof systems have the highest R-value (the measure of resistance to heat) of any roofing material, allowing you to drastically reduce your power bills. It also creates an excellent sound barrier.
Ease of installation
A self-adhering roof system, SPF minimizes the installation cost and lead time. If you work with unpredictable weather and tight deadlines, SPF is a lifesaver.
Flexibility
SPF systems allow waterproofing of hard-to-reach places.
Resistance to the elements
These systems are waterproof and resistant to wind damage.
Environmental impact
SPF roofs are an excellent solution to preserve your existing roof installation, eliminate roof tear-off and material waste.
Installing Commercial Spray Foam Roofing
SPF is applied as a liquid that becomes a foam on contact, conforming to tight and awkward spaces on the roof and unique architectural features like domes. These commercial roofing solutions can be implemented quickly with minimal disruption to your business. The chemical compounds are fast drying and you can walk on your new installation within minutes. However, the conditions during the installation process have to be very specific. You can't apply an SPF roof during cold, wind or rain.
