Spray Foam Roofing Applications In Texas
Polyurethane foam is a liquid that is used over existing roofing systems and develops and strengthens into a solid foam layer. It is especially helpful for asphalt shingles or metal panel roofs to produce a layer of insulation and make your structure more energy efficient. This type of roof application can be effective for many types of roofs.
Quick Foam Insulation is one of the leading SPF, or Spray Polyurethane Foam roofing systems in the panhandle of Texas and beyond. Spray Polyurethane Foam Roof Systems become one of the go-to roofs for almost any type of structure. From businesses and commercial buildings to manufacturing facilities to multi-family structures like apartments. Our objective is to help you get long-term, long-lasting roofing that will help protect any property. That includes working with our award-winning team to choose the very best roof systems to meet your individual needs. Before applying a product like SPF, the roof should be dry and without impurities.
Spray foam roofing can also help prevent standing water, a common problem with a traditional flat roof. To do this, your installer will develop areas of greater foam thickness while spraying so that water will more readily drain to gutters and other release areas. This process and the safety it provides against standing water accumulation help prevent catastrophic events like a roofing collapse.
In addition, seams and penetrations, which are the primary sources of leakage in roof structures, can be sealed to significantly reduce the likelihood of leaks through these openings. Where other types of roofing systems, need to be custom cut in order to be installed properly around a curb. Spray foam roof coatings are self-flashing and the liquid foam seals all types of openings like vents, pipes, skylights, and around HVAC equipment and penetrations. Since the SPF solution is applied as a liquid, the holes, lines, and cracks in the current roof and surface are filled.
An SPF application is extremely durable and can last for decades. When it’s properly installed and maintained, an SPF roof should not require re-coating for at least 10 to 20 years. Upon first application, the coating is usually applied at a thickness of 20-30 mils. Many times, the product manufacturers offer extended warranties any time you have re-coat (as wear occurs to the roofing system)The typical price for a spray foam roof can vary quite a bit depending upon the slope, pitch, and size of your roofing system needed. Roofing replacement can also vary depending upon regional rates.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of applying a spray foam polyurethane roof is in energy savings. As much as 40% of your home’s energy is lost due to air infiltration. Spray foam roofing fills even the smallest gaps, cracks, and holes where energy efficiency loss can occur. SPF has superior insulating properties to any other product currently available.
The Department of Energy estimates that 56% of the energy used in your building can go towards heating and cooling, so utilizing an SPF roof can have a big impact on your monthly utility costs. This is especially true in large open commercial buildings.
The last action of the process is the application of a protective elastomeric overcoat. The overcoat is important to protecting and sealing the foam roofing from potential damage triggered by the sun’s UV rays, moisture, and/or fire.
Once the SPF is applied to a roof, it requires minimal preventive maintenance or repair. When properly maintained, your SPF roof can last as long as 50 years, or more. It should, however, be tested semi-annually. Of course, extra checks are recommended after any incident that may have caused damage to the system, like a hail event. In the case that a silicone coating is needed, the original materials will not be destroyed; the new coat will be added to the top of the current device.
So by using Quick Foam Insulation for your SPF roofing system, you’ll save money on energy costs, provide a more sound roof limiting or eliminating leakage issues, and these benefits are gained for decades into the future. Spray foam adheres to anything and can be installed on wood, steel, or concrete.
