Silicone Roof Coating

If your roof’s weathered many storms and you’re facing an expensive replacement, first consider a silicone roof coating. It may be all you need to eliminate your current structure’s problems and save yourself a substantial amount of money in the long run.

What Is Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing?

Flat roof sprayed polyurethane foam, also known as SPF, is liquid-sprayed material that’s been around since the 1940s. SPF is constructed by mixing and spraying a two-chemical solution consisting of isocyanate and polyol. Roofing professionals use transfer pumps that heat and apply material. As it’s sprayed, it expands to many times its original volume in a matter of seconds.

While it expands, it forms a rigid foam plastic that chemically bonds to the surface. Then, spray polyurethane foam roofing contractors apply an elastomeric coating (typically acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane) or an aggregate covering, which provides waterproofing and UV protection.

Although spray polyurethane foam roofing is mainly for industrial or commercial buildings, it’s also suitable for residential properties. This eco-friendly roofing system has many benefits, including:

Energy Efficiency

SPF provides thermal, air, and moisture protection since the liquid fills any openings that could become problematic. In addition, polyurethane keeps heat out in the summer, which lowers energy costs for facility owners. Because the roof’s surface reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them, the building stays cooler naturally. This means your thermostat will be stabilized throughout the hotter months and indoor temperatures will stay cooler and more comfortable.

Leak Resistance

Seams and penetration points cause leaks in other roofing systems. Luckily, with SPF, this vulnerability is eliminated. Since SPF is liquid-sprayed, it fills gaps and cracks in the roof’s deck. Contractors also level the roof’s surface during application to reduce the chances of pooling water.

Sustainability

SPF roofing is a sustainable option since it requires minimal stripping of the original roof. Often, it eliminates expensive roof tear-offs and waste and SPF is installed on top of the existing structure. SPF roofing has many other environmentally friendly benefits, including:

No ozone depleting potential (ODP)
Low on volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
No chlorofluorocarbons (CFS)
Low global warming potential (GWP)

Low Maintenance

If the SPF is applied correctly the first time, it lasts with semi-annual inspections. These routine checkups help catch red flags early on so they can be addressed sooner than later and the roof maintains its integrity. Although SPF materials are lightweight, they’re durable and long lasting. It may also sustain damage from hailstorms and other inclement weather, but it’s easily repairable without compromising its lifespan. Also, if recoating is needed, the new coat is applied directly to the original system.
