The Advantages of Spray Foam Roofing
Quality roofing contractors work for spray foam (SPF) system’s installation and maintenance. These roofs can be the greatest and most affordable alternative to a single-ply system, regardless of the structure or materials already in place. We only use the best spray foam (SPF) and coatings available in the industry.
Elliott Roofing does most of its roofing with the old roof in place, saving you money on the cost of tearing it down and extending the life of your roof. After we've cleaned and scrubbed your roof, we'll spray the foam around all extension to create a seal where leaks usually originate.
If the base is adequately prepared, spray foam roofing systems provide a long-lasting and impermeable surface. Mixing two liquids together produces spray foam (SPF). This creates a hard, dense polyurethane foam. Over existing roof systems without exceeded the maximum structural load limit, it is so light in weight, roughly 8 ounce/sq.ft that it easily stands against weight requirements as foot traffic.
You can save up to $1.00/sq. ft. in tear-off expenses and installation time if you leave the old roof in place for most installs. As a result of spray foam's insulation properties, heating and air conditioning expenditures can be reduced for the long term.
Spray foam (SPF) roof systems may be easily re-coated with elastomeric roof coats, hence extending the roof life, unlike certain other roofing systems. Additionally, the white color of these roof coverings minimizes heat load.
Many benefits are associated with spray foam roofing, often known as spray on roofs.
Spray Foam Roofs create a completely seamless roofing system. In order for a roof to be seamless, it must have no joints or seams that allow water and air to enter the structure.
Spray on Roofs are great for flashing parapet walls, skylights, equipment and cooling towers because they adapt to the substrate when installed, eliminating flashing leaks. Spray foam roofs tackle the problem of poor flashing, which causes many roof leaks.
A spray foam roof's "R" value is the highest. Spray foam roofs have an "R" value of 6.2 – 6.5, which means they can provide thermal resistance with few material than other roof insulation. Most spray foam roofs pay for themselves after 5-8 years of installation through energy savings.
Chemically inert foam roof insulation is a benefit. A UV-resistant roof coating system is needed to protect spray foam insulation in the roof from the sun.
When it comes to spray foam, it's completely odorless, resistant to mildew or fungus, and completely devoid of nutritional value. During the application of spray foam roofing, there are no noxious scents that will bother you or your neighbors.
Foam Roofs minimize thermal stress due to qualities such as their seamless construction and high "R" value, which protects them from the impacts of thermal shock on a building.
Spray-on roofs can be used in a variety of situations. Both new construction and the replacement of aging roofs can benefit from spray foam roofing. Spray foam can be applied to surfaces that are flat, sloped, saw-toothed, or domed. Additionally, spray foam can be used to fill tanks and other storage containers as well as pipes, ductwork, and other odd jobs.
Spray foam roofing are extremely strong and durable. Despite its small weight, spray foam roofs have a high level of structural integrity and will not buckle or sag.
Foam roofs are flexible and can tolerate normal contraction and expansion without impacting their ability to keep a structure safe from the weather.
Spray applied on a roof is waterproof. Because of their millions of tiny closed cells, spray foam roofs are very resistant to water and vapors. In order to be used outside, it must be coated with a crushed rock.
Because of its durability, spray foam roofing can survive for decades. Additional roof coatings can be applied to an elastomeric roof coating system to extend the life of spray roof insulation. After several years of use, the initial coatings system has deteriorated. A high-quality coating has a lifespan of around 15 to 20 years under typical conditions.
Foam Roofs provide minimal inconvenience to the building owner throughout the process of installation. Spray foam roofing can be installed in a short amount of time with minimal or no interruption to building activities. This is owing to the fact that the spray foam roof requires little or no tear-off of the current roof, as well as minimal labor.
Our employees or roofing contractors have been taught and certified by a number of industry leaders. When it comes to spray foam roofing, simple repairs or alterations can be handled by our employees at low cost at Elliott Roofing.
