Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Roofing - 07 57 13

Spray polyurethane foam roofing (SPF) uses two chemicals that when mixed together in the proper proportions cause a chemical reaction resulting in a rapidly expanding foam that cures to a solid very quickly. Skilled installers using special pumping equipment and a regulated spray nozzle can install the foam to a specified thickness. The foam can be installed around roof interruptions and eliminates the need for special flashings. Once cured, the foam is covered with a UV inhibiting silicone layer.
