Savings, per<\/strong>formance, and durability, put spray foam roofing ahead of the pack.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choosing a new roofing system can feel like a complicated process. It doesn\u2019t have to be. As the products and technology available in the roofing industry have evolved, there is one clear frontrunner that allows you to maximize savings and performance over the long term. That solution is\u00a0a spray foam roofing system. Below we outline the advantages the system offers and why it\u2019s a superior choice for your roofing needs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Spray Foam Roofing is Energy Efficient<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One of the main advantages to foam roofing is that it\u2019s a great insulator. With an R value of around R-6 to R-7 per inch (compared to blown fiberglass with an R-Value of around R-2 to R-4 per inch) using foam roofing saves energy\u2014which means you\u2019ll save on substantially on both heating and cooling costs. In fact, it\u2019s estimated that foam roofing can produce energy savings of 30% or more compared to alternate roofing systems. In about five years, it\u2019s possible the roof will have paid for itself.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Fewer Leaks Means More Savings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Spray foam roofing systems leak less than a typical roof. Why? Foam roofing has no gaps. No seams. No overlapping components. It\u2019s an impermeable surface sealed with a polymer membrane. Sound secure? That\u2019s because it is. Fewer leaks mean fewer issues with repairs and water damage\u2014and the costs associated with both.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Spray Foam Roofing Repairs Easily<\/strong><\/h4>\n

No need to even call a professional when it come to small rooftop repairs. In the unfortunate event that your roof happens to get punctured or cut the damage can easily be fixed with a tube of polyurethane exterior caulking. Make sure the area is dry, fill it with caulking, smooth it out, and you\u2019re done! Don\u2019t waste time and money scheduling costly service and maintenance repairs like with other roofing systems\u2014the roof can be easily fixed by anyone on your maintenance team!<\/p>\n

\u00a0It\u2019s Natural Disaster Resistant<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Usually roofing materials are the first to go in gale force winds. You\u2019ve probably seen storm footage of metal roofing panels flapping loose in the wind or even becoming dangerous projectiles. A spray roof adheres seamlessly to the surface on which it\u2019s applied. As a result, there are no shingles or metal panels to catch in the wind. Plus, it resists damage from debris that may make contact with the roof during the weather event. Finally, an intact roof will also reduce the risk of flooding damage to properties during a storm. With a foam roofing system, extreme weather events are less likely to damage your property\u2014saving your time and money with the insurance companies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Spray Foam Roofing Can Facilitate Drainage<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As we all know, flat roofs can be problematic\u2014they don\u2019t drain properly after a heavy rain and in the winter they collect snow which can endanger the structure of the roof. Unlike traditional roofing systems, foam roofing can be applied in multiple layers and at varying thicknesses to support better drainage on flat or slightly-pitched surfaces. By applying the foam strategically to facilitate drainage you can reduce the issues associated with flat roofs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Spray Foam Roofing is Easy and Safe to Walk On<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Spray foam roofing is safe and durable. The resilient surface holds up well to all kind of foot traffic so you can maintain crucial access to all roof areas, vents, air conditioning units, and storage, as needed. Plus, with spray foam, there are no overlapping materials and tripping hazards common to other roofing systems. A smooth and even rooftop surface means rooftop access is safer and easier for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Less Waste = Better for the Environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Other roofing systems end up in the landfill or at best at the recycling plant. Foam roofing systems have a smaller environmental footprint and create little to no waste. There is never any need to replace the roof entirely\u2014just a periodic update of the final sealant layer and you\u2019re good to go! No unnecessary waste, dust, and debris that comes with replacing a traditional roof.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Stops Ice Damming and Condensation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Metal buildings often suffer from two headache-inducing issues: ice damming and condensation. When a roof is poorly insulated, rising heat from inside the building causes rooftop snow to melt, which then runs until it refreezes. This cycle of freezing and refreezing causes ice buildup and lets water work its way into the seams and screw holes of the building, resulting in leaks. Because of the superior insulation offered by spray foam roofing, the rising heat never transfers to the snowy rooftop. The heat stays inside the building where it belongs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It\u2019s the Last Roofing System You\u2019ll Ever Need<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Spray foam roofing systems are long lasting, easily maintained, and cost effective to update. While other roofing systems deteriorate over time and require a complete replacement at the end of their lifespan, foam roofing systems only require a quick reapplication of the outer membrane every 20 or more years \u2014at a cost of about half the original roof installation. Compare that to the cost involved in completely replacing an old system. Spray foam roofing is a long-term investment that ensures you won\u2019t be wasting time and money with costly replacements down the line.<\/p>\n
