Reduced construction debris - another advantage to installing SPF roof systems

According to Oak Ridge National Laboratories, “The need for multiple roofs makes roofing one of the largest contributors of solid waste.” A 1999 survey by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) found that more than 68.5% of the $11.3-billion low-slope re-roofing market includes tear-off and replacement of the existing roof membrane.

Reduced construction debris is a huge advantage of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing systems like those from Conklin. Additionally, they have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, including BUR, modified bitumen, concrete, wood, asphalt shingles, clay tile, and metal.

Since SPF adds little weight, it can be applied in various thicknesses to add slope and fill in low areas. SPF roofing systems are often used as a recover system over existing roofs without the labor and pass-through expense to the customer of tear-off.


  


Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is applied as a liquid using plural-component spray equipment to fill cracks and crevices. It then expands approximately 30 times its original liquid volume to form a hard, closed cell monolithic roof surface. The Polyurethane Foam dries within seconds after applied to the roof surface. Its expansion results in a weather tight roofing membrane that is fully adhered to the substrate.

Once the SPF has been applied to the proper thickness and finish specifications, a protective layer of elastomeric coating or gravel is applied. This protective layer produces a durable weather resistant surface and that can be walked on for normal maintenance.
