EcoLogic's Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofng is the state-of-the-art in fat roofing construction, and comes with a proven track record. There are SPF roofs over 40 years old that are still leak free, low maintenance and energy efficient. There are two basic reasons for this superior performance. First, the roof inherits the excellent insulative qualities, durability and low weight of the foam material. Secondly, because the foam is applied in such a way as to create a single thick layer of waterproof material, there are no joints, seams or fashing material present in a SPF roof. The SPF material forms effortlessly around HVAC equipment, ductwork, vent stacks pipes, skylight frames, solar panels mounting brackets, etc.. The roof becomes a single impermeable membrane. The end product is much less likely to develop leaks in the future.

Here are some of the advantages of a SPF roof:

SPF roofs are the longest lasting roofs you can build. As an example, a university in Texas has had SPF roofs on dozens of buildings for over 40-years. The school continues to be mo than satisfied by the performance of these roofs.

There are no seams or fashing to leak in a SPF roof. Maintenance professionals will tell you that a roof that doesn't leak is a low maintenance roof.

A SPF roof is 20 times lighter than a tar and gravel roof. "Light weight" means no costly tear-offs are necessary when re-roofing older roofs or renewing an existing foam roof.

SPF roofs eliminate ponding. Low points can be filled with additional foam until they are level with the rest of the roof. In addition, foam can be shaped and contoured to improve drainage. Rain runoff can be precisely channeled and directed, reducing the potential damage of standing water.

Roofs are a major source of heat energy loss. SPF roofs share the same excellent insulative properties found in spray foam wall insulation. A SPF roof can improve energy savings by up to fifty percent.

Because your existing roofng material does not need to be torn off, a SPF re-roof keeps these materials from ending up in landfills.

A SPF roof goes on fast using a small crew.

EcoLogic's SPF Roofing is good cure for an existing problem roof. It can be applied right on the top of the existing leaking roof. No tear off is required. That SPF roofing saves money, and is environmentally friendly since the existing roof stays out of the landfill.

The new roof has all the advantages of the SPF roofng listed above. And on the average, energy savings will payback the cost of the re-roof in a few (5 to 6) years.

There are a number of layers to an EcoLogic SPF roof. The first layer is the closed-cell foam, which is applied directly to the structural skin of the building, or to the existing roof. On top of that an elastomeric protective coat is applied. This layer remains (as it name implies) elastic enough to seal nail holes and other punctures to assure that the roof stays waterproof over the years. A final layer of granules may be added as an option, usually to sloped roofs for street- level eye appeal.

In the future, when a re-roof becomes necessary, only the elastomeric layer (and granules) need to be re-applied to the existing roof. The major layer, the closed cell foam, is not disturbed.

Before you hire a SPF roofing contractor, do some homework. Applying spray foam is skilled work. Applicators need to be trained and licensed. The formulation of the foam can be altered, to provide a cheaper foam that will deteriorate quickly with age. Foam can be applied too thinly, again for short term economy but leading to failure in the future and inferior thermal insulative performance. SPF correctly formulated and applied will provide for decades of low maintenance and energy efficient performance. Inferior spray foam applications will fall far short of that level of performance.

Here are some questions you should ask every spray foam contractor:

• What is the certification number of the installer who will be spraying my foam?
• Are you covered by a third party warranty?
• Do you guarantee your work?
• May I have a reference you have worked for recently?

If you have an existing problem roof, or are looking for ways to save money on heating energy or are planning to erect a building with a fat roof or if you just need more information about SPF roofs, please e-mail us or give us a call at 1-(888) 880-8420.

Polyurethanes are a combination of two components, a "resin" and an "isocyanate." These two liquid materials are combined when applied by EcoLogic's Spray technology. When they come together a chemical reaction occurs to form a "polyurethane," a solid plastic coating material. These coating are known for their durability and resistance to corrosion, abrasion and chemical exposure. The exact formulation of a specific polyurethane coat can be adjusted to meet the needs of the intended application.

Polyurethane coatings are used in thousands of industries. EcoLogic can apply the polyurethane coating used in your industry. Where can EcoLogic's polyurethane coatings be used to improve performance and durability?
