Spray Foam Roofing Systems for Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Seamless, closed-cell roofing that seals leaks, strengthens your deck, and lowers HVAC costs—engineered to perform under wind, hail, UV, and heavy foot traffic.

Why Choose Spray Foam Roofing (SPF)

SPF forms a monolithic, self-adhered membrane that provides insulation, air/vapor control, and a weather barrier in a single system. It bonds to metal, BUR, single-ply, and concrete—self-flashing around penetrations to eliminate common leak points.

Key Advantages

  • Closed-cell waterproofing with self-flashing details
  • High R-value per inch; minimal thermal bridging
  • Excellent wind-uplift & hail resistance
  • Fast installation with limited tear-off
  • Renewable—re-coat cycles extend system life

Best-Fit Applications

  • Flat & low-slope commercial roofs
  • Metal retrofits, odd-shape or penetrated decks
  • Cold storage, warehouses & manufacturing
  • Institutional & government facilities
  • Agricultural & specialty structures

Severe-Weather Performance

Closed-cell SPF resists wind-driven rain and helps stop lateral water migration if the surface is disturbed. Its compressive strength and deck bond improve wind-uplift performance and durability against hail and foot traffic.

  • ✓ Storm-tested resilience
  • ✓ Rapid, localized repairability
  • ✓ Protects contents and operations

Long-Term ROI

SPF lowers HVAC load and maintenance. With periodic re-coats (~15–20 years), the system is renewable and can exceed a 40-year service life.

  • Lower energy usage via high R/in + reflective topcoats
  • Minimal tear-off & downtime vs. conventional re-roofs
  • Extend life cycles without full replacement

System Build: Foam + Protective Coating

After deck prep, foam is applied to specified thickness, then sealed with an elastomeric coating for UV, weather, and impact resistance.

Foam Layer

  • Closed-cell polyurethane foam
  • High R-value per inch
  • Self-flashing at penetrations
  • Adheres to metal, BUR, single-ply, concrete

Coating Layer

  • Acrylic • Silicone • Polyurea (project-dependent)
  • UV stability, reflectivity, impact/chemical resistance
  • Optional granules & walk pads for traffic zones

Approvals & Ratings

  • Can meet Class A fire rating with approved assemblies
  • Supports tapered builds for drainage
  • Specified to align with local energy/code requirements

Installation Process

1) Assessment & Scope — roof walk, moisture checks, repairs, drainage plan.
2) Prep & Priming — clean/dry deck, address rust & fasteners, mask details.
3) Foam Application — spray to spec; self-flash penetrations/terminations; build taper if needed.
4) Coating & Granules — apply chosen coating to target DFT; add granules & walk pads.
5) QA + Turnover — thickness verification, final inspection, owner walk-through.

Maintenance & Service Life

Best practice is semi-annual inspections and after major storms. Re-coat cycles typically occur every 15–20 years depending on coating type and climate.

  • Keep drains clear; remove debris and standing water
  • Repair mechanical damage promptly
  • Re-coat before end of coating life to keep system renewable

Roofing FAQs

How long does an SPF roof last?

With proper care and periodic re-coating, many SPF roofs remain in service 30–40+ years.

Can foam go over my existing roof?

Often yes. SPF bonds to many substrates, minimizing tear-off, landfill waste, and downtime.

Is it energy efficient?

SPF offers one of the highest R-values per inch; reflective coatings reduce solar gain and HVAC costs.

Fire rating?

When paired with approved assemblies/coatings, foam roofing systems can meet Class A requirements.

How are punctures repaired?

Repairs are localized: remove damaged foam, dry, re-spray foam, and re-coat to restore continuity.

Which coating should I choose?

Acrylic for reflectivity/dry climates, silicone for ponding water & high UV, polyurea for impact/abrasion zones.
