WHY FOAM IT?

FOR INSULATION:

Fills cracks and gaps
Eliminates virtually all air leakage
Requires no fasteners or adhesives
No settling or packing like some other types of wall and ceiling insulation
Adds to structural integrity by bonding to and adding rigidity to framing and siding material
Adds comfort to your new home
Reduces dust and pollen infiltration
Highest R-rating of any insulation
Dampens sound

Sprayed Urethane foam applied as insulation directly to interior of flat roofing

Multiple roof penetrations and skylights present no obstacle for Sprayed Urethane Foam Roofing

Sprayed Foam Roofing can often be applied over an existing roof. The one piece seamless monolithic system is finished with an elastomeric coating to protect from exposure to sunlight. This coating allows for expansion and contraction of the system without cracking or splitting. Sprayed Urethane foam roofing's self-sealing properties eliminate the need for flashing and the nightmares associated with multiple roof penetrations. (See diagram below) Ideal for flat, metal or curved or dome roofs.

FOR ROOFING:

Seamless, no joints to leak
Lightweight- less than 100 lbs. per square
Self flashing to parapet walls, vents, pipes, skylights etc.
Flexible - tolerates normal structural movement from heating and cooling
Eliminate ponding in low spots by building up in those areas or sloping to direct water drainage
Ease of repair reduces cost of maintenance
In many situations costly tear off and disposal of old roof is not necessary
Versatile - for new construction or re-roofing on flat or pitched surfaces of any shape
Can pay for itself with energy savings

Self flashing properties of Sprayed Foam Roofing are just one of the many benefits

Many of America's largest companies such as General Motors, Ford, IBM and institutions, both public and private, including the George Bush Presidential library, rely on the superior waterproofing and energy saving advantages of sprayed foam roofing over conventional methods.

Texas A & M University began using polyurethane foam for re-roofing their facilities 20 years ago. The results of careful studies conducted by A&M showed savings on both maintenance and energy. These savings, combined with the the performance of millions of square feet of polyurethane foam roofing in place, led to the use of polyurethane foam only for all new and replacement roofing. Below is a recap of the study conducted by Gerald Scott, Director of Energy, Texas A&M University.
