Benefits of a Spray Foam Roof

• ENERGY EFFICIENT:  Sprayfoam is 92% efficient and can cut energy bills by 25%-50%......this is over 500% most other roofing systems.
  
  
• DRAMATICALLY REDUCED ENERGY LOSS:  60-70% of heating and cooling costs are lost through the roof.  Sprayfoam dramatically reduces this loss.
  
  
• RAPID RETURN ON INVESTMENT:  Most building owners see a  return on investment in an average of 4.5-5 years.
  
  
• REDUCES HEAT TRANSFER:  2” of sprayfoam will stop 250 degrees of heat from passing through it.  The result is lessened radiant transfer into the structure. 
  
  
• LESS HVAC MAINTENANCE:  Reduces wear and tear on the equipment as it runs less often.
  
  
• LESS AIR AND MOISTURE LEAKAGE:  Closed cell sprayfoam is a 100% air, water, moisture and vapor barrier.  When properly applied there is no better way to seal a building from the harmful effects of air transfer and moisture infiltration.
  
  
• HIGH STRENGTH:  While extremely lightweight, spray foam adds tremendous structural strength to a building.  After Hurricane Andrew, SPF roofing earned new respect ands was touted as being “Hurricane proof.”
  
  
• NO OFF GASSING:  Sprayfoam is permanent and will not lose it’s R-value.  Sprayfoam is VOC compliant and contains no ozone depleting agents. 
  
  
• LOW LIFE CYCLE COST:  Sprayfoam has the lowest life cycle cost of all types of roofing. 
  
  
• SUSTAINABLE:  Provides a fully sustainable roofing system with a  renewable warranty.  No tear offs or patching…..simply renew and revitalize the coating and extend the warranty.
  
  
• HIGH INSULATION VALUE:  Closed cell sprayfoam provides an r value of 6.8 per inch.  This value is twice that of any other insulation material on the market. 
  
  
• REDUCE OR ELIMINATE PONDING WATER:  A unique characteristic of sprayfoam is the ability to slope the existing roof to direct water to drains/scuppers by adding foam thickness in low lying areas. 
  
  
• LONG LIFE:  SPF roofing has been around since 1968 and many roofs applied then are still in place and performing today.  Instead of tear off and replacement, with SPF you simply need to do a possible repair and renew the coating.  This saves a tremendous amount of money. 
  
  
• LOWERS SURFACE TEMPERATURE:  On a 95 degree day a typical black rubber EPDM roof can reach 190 degrees at the surface.  A reflective coated SPF roof typically maintains temperatures of less than 90 degrees at the surface….often less than the ambient temperature.  The white coating dramatically reduces the energy costs to the owner. 
  
  
• FLEXIBLE:  SPF (spray polyurethane foam) roofing has the ability to withstand the strain of  normal expansion and contraction of a structure without affecting the ability to remain fully adhered and sealed.
