SPF Roofing
What is SPF?
The SPF roofing system consists of two liquid chemical compounds, isocyanate and polyol, which are applied using pressure and heat. When combined, these chemicals form the foundation of an adhered roofing system. A protective coating is then applied to the foam, serving as an additional shield against environmental elements. Introduced in the late 1960s, SPF systems have proven their durability over time and remain widely favored in the commercial roofing industry.
Key Benefits of SPF Roofing
Seamless Application
SPF roofing is applied as a liquid that expands into foam, creating a seamless, monolithic layer without any joints, seams, or gaps. This seamless nature makes SPF roofs highly effective at preventing water infiltration.
Lightweight and Flexible
Despite its strength, SPF is a lightweight material that does not add significant weight to the existing roof structure. It is also flexible, allowing it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or breaking.
Adheres to Most Roof Surfaces
SPF roofing can be applied over a variety of existing roof types, including metal, asphalt, concrete, wood, and built-up roofs. This makes it a versatile option for roof repair, restoration, or new construction.
High Insulation
Value (R-Value)
SPF roofing has one of the highest insulation R-values per inch of any roofing material, providing excellent thermal resistance. This high R-value helps reduce energy costs by minimizing heat transfer through the roof, keeping buildings cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Waterproofing and
Weather Resistance
The closed-cell structure of SPF foam makes it highly resistant to water penetration, which helps prevent leaks and ponding water. Additionally, SPF is resistant to UV radiation, hail, wind, and extreme temperatures, making it a durable choice for various climates.
WHY CHOOSE SPF
SPF roofing is a liquid-applied roofing system that consists of two main components: isocyanate and polyol resin. These two chemicals are mixed and sprayed onto the roof surface, where they react and expand to form a rigid foam layer. This foam layer adheres to the roof substrate, creating a continuous, seamless, and highly insulative roofing membrane.
SPF roofing is a versatile, durable, and energy-efficient roofing solution that offers superior protection against the elements. It is ideal for both new construction and roof restoration projects, providing a long-lasting, seamless, and highly insulative roof system that can save money and reduce maintenance needs over time.
The SPF foam is applied in liquid form using specialized spray equipment. The liquid quickly expands and cures, forming a thick, solid foam layer that adheres tightly to the roof substrate. The thickness of the foam layer can be customized based on the desired level of insulation and waterproofing.
