Leading Benefits of SPF Roofing
Roof Coating
Posted on May 14, 2019 by Anderson Industrial Roofing
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing is a solution that creates a dependable roofing system that provides several benefits for a building’s overall structure. SPF is a liquid that is applied to a roof to fill in the cracks and provide a protective envelope across the rooftop.
Anderson Industrial Roofing is proud to offer this option as one of our services because we truly believe in the benefits that SPF provides to commercial and industrial roofing. Here are some of the main reasons why so many industries are now relying on SPF services to keep their buildings secure.
Seamless and Waterproof
After the application of your spray foam roof, the materials that consist of millions of enclosed cells expand and create a seamless seal across your building’s rooftop. This seal not only extends the lifetime of your roof but it also means that your roof now has no joints or seams that will allow air and water to penetrate your roofing system.
This defends your roof against:
- Flashing leaks
- The danger of ponding water
They Are Lightweight
One of the biggest advantages of an SPF roof is that they are lightweight. Compared to the standard roof insulation of 3 pounds per cubic foot, SPF’s weight comes in between 1.5 and 2 pounds per cubic foot. The lightweight material means that an SPF roof is easier to apply and provides superior roof insulation without the risk of overburdening the structure.
SPF Roofs Are Chemically Stable
SPF roofs are designed to be resilient in the face of natural sunlight. These roofing systems have a U.V. resistant coating that goes beyond protecting your roof from sun rays.
Many people believe that there are bad odors involved due to chemicals in these types of roofing systems. However, spray foam is odorless and there is no chemical risk involved with coating your rooftop with this protection.
High R-Value = Energy Efficiency
Within the roofing industry, the R-value represents a material’s capacity to resist heat flow. Essentially, the higher the R-value is, the greater the insulating efficiency is for the roof. SPF roofs maintain a relatively high R-value and provide the best energy efficiency for the cost of installation and maintenance.
