Benefits Of Spray Foam (SPF) Roofing

There are some roofing systems that prove to be versatile over time. Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing system is of these roofing systems.

SPF roofing systems were initially used in a softer form in upholstery. The material is now used in construction projects such as roofing and wall insulation.

SPF can be used in flat, steep as well as irregular roofs. It is an insulating foam plastic that is applied as a liquid through a spraying technique. It expands many times its original size. The spray polyurethane foam can be adjusted. It also has numerous physical properties which is determined on the purpose for which it will be used.

Some of the benefits of spray polyurethane foam include the following:

Energy Efficient
Spray polyurethane foam offers thermal, air as well as moisture barriers to delivering the highest R-value per inch. This implies that the material offers better insulation for the property. This improves the energy efficiency of the building thereby saving heating and cooling bills.

Durability
A Spray polyurethane foam roofing system is more durable than traditional roofing systems. The foam can expand and contract with the building in line with the external temperatures. This helps to decrease the occurrence of splitting and cracks thereby increasing the life span of the roof.

Waterproof and Seamless
Since the spray polyurethane foam mixture is applied as a liquid, it can easily fill gaps, seams, and cracks that are in the roof. The continuous solid surface formed does not need joints or seams. This helps to remove the occurrence of leaks. It can also be installed to eliminate uneven roofs, thereby reducing ponding water.

Eco-Friendly
Since an SPF roofing system is energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable, it can be less expensive to install and maintain. When installing a spray polyurethane foam roofing system, you don’t need to strip the existing roof. This goes a long way in saving money on labor and dirt removal.

Conclusion
Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing Systems are becoming increasingly popular for roofing commercial and industrial properties due to their long-lasting and economically efficient benefits. The demand for SPF roofing systems will keep increasing as long as the cost of energy increases.
