Spray Foam Installation

Before the installation can start, the existing roof needs to be prepped. Rather than stripping the existing roof, the contractor will most likely prepare the substrate by getting rid of all dirt, dust, and contaminants. This can be done with sweeping, brushing or air pressure.

The first layer put down by the contractor is the polyurethane foam. This foam is created by combining two liquids, a polyol and an isocyanate, as it’s sprayed onto the current roof.

When the liquid is sprayed onto the existing roof, the foam then expands about 20x its size to form a solid and seamless surface. Thickness can vary between1 and 2 inches when it’s all said and done.

Benefits of SPF Roofs

The list of benefits of installing a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing system are quite long:

• Energy Efficiency — The energy efficiency and roof insulation properties of an SPF roof can have significant energy savings throughout the lifespan of the building its installed on. Studies show that the average return on investment period for a new foam roof can be attained in only 5 years.
• Durability — It is one of the most durable materials as the foam can expand and contract with the temperatures, therefore decreasing the likelihood of cracking.
• Seamless & Waterproof — Since the SPF mixture is applied as a liquid, it can fill seams, cracks, and any gaps that currently exist on the roof.  All vulnerable leak areas are removed since there are no joints or seams.

Cost of Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofs

On average, a commercial roof will usually cost around $4.00 to $7.00 per square foot to install an SPF system. This is including materials and labor.  That said, pricing can vary based on size of roof, thickness of the foam that’s desired, roof access, slope, climate, warranty, and more.
