SPF Roofs have serious energy-saving advantages
Polyurethane spray foam roofs, sometimes called SPF roofs or spray foam roofs, have significant advantages!
A leakproof roof is peace of mind for building owners, which is why we trust spray foam roofs to keep you covered in rain, snow, or sunshine. There are several energy-saving advantages to using spray foam for your commercial roof:
- High R-Value rating – SPF is the highest-rated commercial roofing solution when it comes to energy efficiency. The aged R-Value of an SPF roof is usually between 6.2-6.5, which is head-and-shoulders above its competition. We’d love to share how incredible SPF is when it comes to R-Value.

- Industry standards call for spray roof installers, like R&A Contracting, to install a elastomeric UV protective coating on top of spray foam roofing. This provides an added layer of resistance against heat transfer, which your AC and furnace units will appreciate.
- Spray foam roofs are seamless, which means that they’re not allowing any energy loss or penetration of the building’s energy envelope during change in seasons or temperatures. Spray foam is installed in liquid form. This allows the liquid to fill and expand to seal off any opening, crack, or crevice. This also means that spray foam roofing does not require any joints or seams. These are often the most susceptible parts of a commercial building’s roof when it comes to compromising structural quality.
- Spray foam is flexible because it adheres to virtually any roofing substrate. This means that roofing structure that are home to previously vulnerable energy spots, like skylights, can be covered with spray foam to reduce any unnecessary energy loss.
- Spray foam roofs help minimize thermal shock because it’s seamless, has a high R-Value rating, and is protected by a white elastomeric UV coating. This deflects and reflects the sun’s harmful UV rays from entering into the building structure. Less wear-and-tear on the furnace and AC unit means better energy savings in a matter of months.
