Spray Foam Roofing FAQ

How long does a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roof last?

The oldest performing SPF roofs are over 50 years old. Because the physical properties of SPF change little with age, how long the SPF roof system lasts depends on the original application and long-term maintenance.

How do you maintain an SPF roof system?

Routine inspections — typically twice a year and after major storms — plus a silicone or acrylic recoat every 10–15 years keep an SPF roof renewable indefinitely.

Where can I use an SPF roofing system?

SPF has excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates including concrete, tectum, gypsum, BUR, and metal. Since SPF adds little weight, it can be applied in varying thickness to add slope and fill in low areas.

How does SPF reduce energy use in buildings?

SPF delivers continuous insulation with no thermal bridging, and the reflective silicone topcoat lowers rooftop surface temperatures — cutting cooling loads and HVAC runtime year-round.

Is SPF a good soundproofing material?

Both low- and medium-density SPF effectively reduce noise from outside sources by sealing cracks and gaps that allow sound to travel through the walls, floors, and ceiling of a building.
