Spray Foam Roofing |

| Description: |
| SPF is sprayed polyurethane foam, a closed cell roofing and insulation material that is rapidly gaining market share in today’s construction industry. Because it is spray applied, it forms a seamless barrier to the weather. They can be applied to vertical surfaces such as parapet walls thus eliminating seams and cold joints (the main source of roof leaks). SPF has no fasteners. Fasteners puncture decks, contributing to premature failure, create thermal bridging, reducing insulation value and tend to pull-out under wind load. |

| Maintenance/Installation/Concerns: |
| Though many SPF roofs exist today after installation over 20 years ago, it is still considered a new technology and, as such, is accompanied by misunderstandings regarding the proper utilization of the product. Improper material selection, design, or installation could result in the type of roof failures associated with conventional roofing systems. |
