Polyurethane Foam Roofing
What Is Polyurethane Foam Roofing and Who Is It For?
Polyurethane foam roofing is one of the most popular options for commercial building operators today, but what is it? Also called SPF for short, polyurethane foam begins as a liquid. Professionals use proportioning equipment to spray this liquid onto the prepared roof surface of a commercial structure, where it then expands into a foam and hardens into a solid mass.
Any commercial or industrial structure with a large and flat roof can benefit from SPF as a roofing material. It stops and prevents leaks, reflects the sun’s UV energy, and lasts for decades when appropriately maintained. At Longhorn Enterprises of Texas, we’re highly skilled in providing SPF roofs.
Spray foam is ideally used where energy is use is a concern. The spray on application is self-flashing, which allows for easily sealing penetrations such as AC curbs and roof hatches. It can be applied in varying degrees of thickness to achieve the desired R-value. In many cases, SPF can be retro-fitted over most membranes.
